I still follow her today. She was all excited to go on a vacation to Nepal, landed and she is now stranded there, SAFE, but stranded. She has posted two updates on her status on Google+. One was on  April 25th  that said: I'm in Pokhara, Nepal; +Natala Menezes​ and I are safe. We are sheltering in place for a couple days to see if things calm down enough in Kathmandu to catch our flight out on the 28th. The second was on  April 26th , I am not sure if she made her flight out yesterday, as there are no more updates yet but she did share her experience in detail: Update from Pokhara, Nepal, 31 hours post-earthquake: I think 'unsettled' is the word of the day. Only got a few hours of sleep last n

Salesforce may well be listening to takeover offers, but not from Oracle, BuzzFeed News has learned. Following a Wednesday afternoon  report from Bloomberg  claiming the business software and services company has been approached with an offer, speculative chatter pointed to Oracle as the most likely possible acquirer. That’s a reasonable assumption; but it’s an inaccurate one. While Salesforce’s cloud computing prowess may well make it attractive to Oracle, and Oracle may well have the financial heft and merger chops to devour it, it hasn’t made a move to do so.

Google Fibre’s roll-out fibre optics cables which giving the full control of the service. As per expert, running a mobile virtual network, which is dependent on rival’s equipment - might limit Project Fi's impact. "The example of MVNOs in the US and elsewhere suggests that it's hard for their operators to dramatically change the industry because of their nature," said Ian Fogg from the IHS Technology consultancy. "But the past isn't always a guide to the future. "No-one would have thought that a handset manufacturer could transform the mobile industry by teaming up with one network - but that's what happened with Apple and AT&T when the iPhone launched. "And Google itself has repeatedly shown that it is capable of changing the direction of an indust
