Square终于完成2亿美元融资回合，估值达到32.5亿美元 科技博客AllThingsD 几周前在一次采访中，移动支付公司Square的首席运营官基思•拉伯斯表示，该公司计划开始积极进行市场推广。Square已经投放电视广告，而于上月宣布与星巴克（Starbucks）达成了内容广泛的协议。星巴克当时表示，将对Square投资2,500万美元，并开始使用这笔资金处理它在美国的所有借记卡和信用卡交易。星巴克还将允许客户使用Square的“面向消费”应用付款购买拿铁。 惠普转型走“时尚”路线 《华尔街日报》 重新设计PC而不仅仅是换个漂亮外壳。惠特曼夫人打算重组惠普PC事业部，这对于加州帕洛阿尔托的科技巨头重新扭亏为盈至关重要。PC业务是惠普的最大业务，贡献了其全部营收的30%。上财季（2012年第三财季——译注），惠普PC部门营收为86亿美元，同比下滑了10%，运营利润则下挫了27%。惠普上季度蒙受了公司历史上最大的单季亏损。 苹果（Apple）股价达到创纪录的699.78美元，距离700美元仅一步之遥 《财富》 虽然苹果股价在过去一年已累计上涨75%，但就标准普尔500指数来看，其股价仍然相对较低。 苹果现金贮备高达1,170亿美元，居全球公司榜首。过去5年，它的利润增长率高达60%，与之相比，标准普尔500公司的平均值仅为-1.66%。 AMD首席财务官托马斯•塞弗特离职，德文德・库马尔将临时接替其职位 瘾科技 超威半导体（AMD）资深副总裁兼首席财务官托马斯•塞弗特在加入公司三年后宣布离开。如果你还有印象的话，应该记得塞弗特曾在2011年短暂代理过AMD首席执行官，直到不久后AMD找到罗瑞德来取代他。除了老生常谈的“为了寻求其他机会”，塞弗特的离职原因我们不得而知，不过我们了解到，AMD资深副总裁兼财务总监德文德・库马尔将临时接替其职位。AMD公关部门届时将发布完整公告。 不出所料，Google+的注册用户数超过了4亿，现在每月活跃用户数过亿科技博客 THE NEXT WEB 但最重要的不是4亿注册用户数，而是过亿的每月活跃用户。谷歌社交平台Google+的主要竞争对手Facebook对注册用户数根本不屑一提，因为它知道这个数字毫无意义。这家社交网络巨头只谈月度活跃用户数，截止6月30日，Facebook的月度活跃用户数为9.55亿。Facebook和谷歌（Google）所指的用户数均包括PC与移动两大平台。 译者：项航 |
Square finally closes $200 million round at a $3.25 billion valuation [ALLTHINGSD] In an interview several weeks ago, Square COO Keith Rabois said that the company plans to start marketing itself aggressively. It already has commercials on TV, and a wide-ranging deal with Starbucks announced last month will also help. Starbucks said then that it would invest $25 million into the company, and start using the funds to process all of its debit and credit transactions in the U.S. Starbucks will also allow its customers to pay for their lattes using Square's consumer-facing app. H-P tries on a sleeker look [THE WALL STREET JOURNAL] Redesigning its devices is more than just a cosmetic project. Revamping the PC division, which is H-P's biggest business and accounts for about 30% of its revenue, is critical to the turnaround Ms. Whitman is trying to pull off at the Palo Alto, Calif., company. In H-P's most recent quarter, PC revenue fell 10% from a year earlier to $8.6 billion while the unit's operating income tumbled 27%. Overall, the company reported its biggest-ever quarterly loss. Apple closes at a record $699.78, 22 cents shy of $700 [FORTUNE] Although the stock is up nearly 75% over the past 12 months, the company is still relatively cheap by the standards of the S&P 500. Apple is sitting on a bigger cash hoard ($117 billion) than any company in the world, and the 60% growth rate its earnings have racked up over the past 5 years can hardly be compared with the S&P 500's -1.66%. AMD CFO Thomas Seifert calls it quits, Devinder Kumar takes his place on an interim basis [ENGADGET] Advanced Micro Devices' Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer, Thomas Seifert, has decided to leave AMD three short years after joining the company. As you may recall, Seifert briefly took the reigns of AMD asinterim CEO in early 2011, until the firm found a permanent replacement in Rory Read later that year. No word on why Seifert has decided to depart the chip maker -- other than "to pursue other opportunities" -- but we do know that Devinder Kumar, AMD's current Senior VP and corporate controller will replace him on an interim basis. The full announcement awaits in the PR after the break. As predicted, Google+ passes 400 million registered users, now has 100 million monthly active users [THE NEXT WEB] Yet the real story here isn't the 400 million number, but the 100 million one. Google+'s main competitor Facebook doesn't even bother talking about registered users because it know the number is meaningless. The social networking giant only talks about monthly active users, of which it has 955 million as of June 30. Both Facebook and Google are talking about combined desktop and mobile users. |
