![]() Teambition today has 100 employees, and has already published simplified and traditional Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese versions. After starting the company in 2013, Qi received $5 million investment from International Data Group and Vangoo Capital last year. Teambition supplies collaboration software that helps with task management, online documents, file sharing and scheduling. Slack, which is now valued at more than $7 billion, has said it has filed paperwork for a public listing, while Asana is now valued at $1.5 billion and Trello’s owner Atlassian now has a market cap of nearly $26 billion.Maturity seems to pay. Planning and project management - the area that Teambition and its competitors address - is considered a key pillar in the wider collaboration space alongside cloud services to store and serve files and real-time communication services. The opportunity around collaboration and workplace communication has become a very hot area in the last few years, spurred by the general growth of social media in the consumer market and people in business environments wanting to bring in the same kinds of tools to help them get work done. The company currently has nothing on its site indicating an acquisition or any notices regarding future services, so it seems to be business as usual for now. Teambition today counts a number of Chinese giants, and giants with Chinese outposts, as customers, including Huawei, Xiaomi, TCL and McDonald’s in its customer list. That is to say, one option for Alibaba would be to integrate it and use it as part of a wider “business transformation” and modernization offering, or as a standalone product, as it currently exists. With Alibaba declining to give us any details beyond a confirmation of the acquisition, and Teambition not returning our requests for comment, our best guess is that this app could be a fit in either area. These apps and services range from the recently launched “ A100” business transformation initiative, where Alibaba proposes working with large companies to digitise and modernize (and help run) their IT backends, through to specific products, such as Alibaba’s Slack competitor DingTalk. On top of that, Alibaba has been building and integrating a number of apps and other services that leverage that cloud infrastructure, providing more stickiness for the core service as well as the potential for developing further revenue streams with customers. (And it’s not the only one: ByteDance - more known for consumer services like TikTok - is rumored to be building a Slack competitor, and Tencent also has its sights on the sector, as does Baidu.)Īs with AWS, Alibaba’s enterprise business stems out of the cloud-based infrastructure Alibaba has built for its own e-commerce powerhouse, which it has productised as a service for third parties that it calls Alibaba Cloud, which (like AWS) offers a range of cloud-storage and serving tiers to users. In China alone, it has been estimated that enterprise services is a $1 billion opportunity, but with no clear leader at the moment across a range of verticals and segments that fall under that general umbrella, there is a lot to play for, and likely a lot more consolidation to come. The deal is another sign of how Alibaba has been slowly building a business in enterprise powerhouse over the last several years as it races to keep its pole position in the Chinese market, as well as gain a stronger foothold in the wider Asian region and beyond. In addition to the main planning interface, there is one designed for CRM, called Bingo, as well as a “knowledge base” where businesses can keep extra documentation and other collateral. Alibaba’s last acquisition in enterprise was German big data startup Data Artisans for $103 million.Īs with others in the project management and collaboration space, Teambition provides users with mobile and desktop apps to interact with the service. Gobi also manages investments on behalf of Alibaba, and that might have been one route to how the two became acquainted. Teambition had raised about $17 million in funding since 2013, with investors including Tencent, Microsoft, IDG Capital and Gobi Ventures. Alibaba has now confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch but declined to provide any other details. There were rumors of an acquisition circulating yesterday in Chinese media. ![]() TechCrunch has confirmed that the e-commerce and cloud services giant has acquired Teambition, a Microsoft and Tencent-backed platform for co-workers to plan and collaborate on projects, similar to Trello and Asana. Alibaba has made an acquisition as it continues to square up to the opportunity in enterprise services in China and beyond, akin to what its U.S. Gill and other members of the forum also cited the bullish GameStop stance of Michael Burry, the legendary trader who was portrayed by Christian Bale in the 2015 film "The Big Short," as fuel for their investment choices. ![]() Gill also posted screenshots of his GameStop portfolio on r/wallstreetbets as far back as 2019. In a July 27, 2020, YouTube video posted to his channel, Gill said, "Some people won't even tune into the stream right now when they hear I'm bullish on GameStop, at the current price point it's traded at about four bucks right now." Gill publicly touted GameStop stock long before it caught the eyes of Wall Street and the world. Many link the initial push in r/wallstreetbets toward GameStop to an individual investor identified by the Wall Street Journal as Keith Gill, but known on Reddit by his screen name "DeepF***ingValue" or "DFV" for short. GameStop announced in early January that it was appointing three new directors - Alan Attal, Ryan Cohen and Jim Grube - to its board. 11, 2021: GameStop appoints 3 new directors to its board, including co-founder of e-commerce giant Chewy GameStop shares plunged nearly 20% the next day, closing on Dec. Still, the company reported an operating loss of $63 million in the third quarter. In the same earnings report, however, the company highlighted a bright spot that e-commerce sales had spiked considerably - increasing some 257% year-over-year. The retailer attributed this drop in sales to a number of reasons, including an "11% reduction in the store base." ![]() ![]() In early December, GameStop reported that net sales plummeted in the third quarter of its fiscal year 2020, down more than 30% compared to the same time period in 2019. 8, 2020: GameStop reports dismal earnings, stock takes a tumble MORE: SEC 'closely monitoring' price volatility of 'certain stocks' in wake of GameStop saga Dec. ![]() The player character's equipment is not stripped at the beginning of the add-on, and the gameplay has a linear structure.Like all major Fallout: New Vegas add-ons, Lonesome Road raises the level cap by 5.Suggested level for all platforms is 25+.ED-E produces energy or microfusion cells once per day.ED-E repairs 25% weapon condition once per day.+1 SPECIAL point, NCR Fame, Caesar's Legion Infamy Launch nuclear missiles at Caesar's Legion. +10% damage and +10% DT against Marked Men +1 SPECIAL point, Brotherhood of Steel and Followers of the Apocalypse Fame +1 SPECIAL point, Boomers and Powder Gangers Fame, Caesar's Legion and NCR Infamy Launch nuclear missiles at both Caesar's Legion and NCR. +1 SPECIAL point, Caesar's Legion Fame, NCR Infamy +10 Health per 100 Karma Karma reset to 0, +10% damage, immunity to critical hits. +4 Luck for 3 minutes upon finishing a battle with less than 25% health immunity to critical hits, +50% critical damage.

However, it is possible that these songs could have been chosen by Magic-Box, rather than the customer (see Regular Magic Box)."Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" appears to be the most common default song by a large margin and the most common song overall.3 other state songs are featured: " Home on the Range" ( Kansas), "Yankee Doodle" ( Connecticut), and " You Are My Sunshine" ( Louisiana). " Old Folks at Home," the state song of Florida, where Magic-Box was located, is an optional song.Today, Magic-Box products, particularly the Regular Magic Box, are still being used by ice cream vendors, although the number of vendors using them is declining. Eventually, it was discovered by others and pulled out of obscurity by early 2019. On November 2nd, 2018, almost 12 years after its collapse, Magic-Box was discovered via a news article and the URL of its website was found. The domain for expired on January 27th, 2007, and is for sale as of November 13th, 2022.Ĭontributed by the collapse of the message board and Magic-Box's small number of customers, the company fell into obscurity and was only known by users of its products. Magic-Box was forgotten about by 2004 and eventually closed permanently because of " MP3 and other stuff" and possibly due to the discontinuation of the Holtek melody generators. This resulted in a resurgence of complaints towards Magic-Box with the last one being made on October 13th, 2003. On January 9th, 2003, Wray claimed that this was because of how his customers paid him or did not buy insurance. However, the investigation by the former was stopped and thus the result is unknown. The company was also investigated by the State Attorney of Florida and the Jacksonville Better Business Bureau. Specifically, in most cases, the payment was accepted by Magic-Box but the orders were never shipped. Under copyright until 2015, 8 years after Magic-Box closedīeginning on January 30th, 2002 until September 2002, several users of the message board claimed to have been ripped off by Magic-Box. Mentioned in an eBay listing, not listened to yet London Bridge / The Train Goes Fast (火車快飛) (Chinese) (Medley) They are not the only videos of the songs in most cases. Note: The videos in the "Audio" column are the best videos of the songs being played. However, only the children's songs (10 so far, including all 3 default songs and 2 that have not been listened to yet) are known to have been used by Magic-Box products. ![]() So far, 18 songs, which are listed below, have been listened to: 12 children's songs, 4 lyrical songs, 1 Christmas song, and 1 popular song. There is a total of 74 songs to choose from, including 32 children's songs (10A-11G), 16 lyrical songs (12A-12Q), 13 Christmas songs (13A-13M), and 13 popular songs (14A-14M). Īnother advertisement for the Baby Magic Box. It appeared to be their best-selling product, with ~10,000 national sales and ~500 local sales as of 2001. The box is made from extruded aluminum and has a bronze and copper speckle finish, with slide mounting brackets on the bottom. The volume controller also powers it on/off. The Regular Magic Box has two knobs: a volume controller and a song selector. It uses an 8W audio amplifier and like most ice cream truck music boxes, it can be powered by any 12V DC source such as a car battery, power supply, or an AC to DC adapter for use with wall outlets. Alternatively, the customer could choose the songs that came with the music box. The default songs are 10K, 11E, and 11G (see Songs) but they could have been changed without notice, depending on the supply of the melody generators. The Regular Magic Box, often referred to as simply the Magic Box, is a music box that has 3 songs each supplied by a Holtek HT3810 series melody generator.

Some interventionists believed US military action was inevitable, but many others believed the United States could still avoid sending troops to fight on foreign soil, if only the Neutrality Acts could be relaxed to allow the federal government to send military equipment and supplies to Great Britain. It would be, as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt put it, like “living at the point of a gun,” and the buffer provided by the Pacific and Atlantic would be useless. If no European power remained as a check against Nazi Germany, the United States could become isolated in a world where the seas and a significant amount of territory and resources were controlled by a single powerful dictator. The democracies of Western Europe, they argued, were a critical line of defense against Hitler’s fast-growing strength. Interventionists believed the United States did have good reasons to get involved in World War II, particularly in Europe. However, he argued, American soldiers ought not to have to “fight everybody in the world who prefers some other system of life to ours.” Speaking in 1941 of an “independent American destiny,” Lindbergh asserted that the United States ought to fight any nation that attempted to meddle in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. Aviator Charles Lindbergh and popular radio priest Father Charles Coughlin were the Committee’s most powerful spokesmen. Isolationist organizations like the America First Committee sought to influence public opinion through print, radio, and mass rallies. ![]() Neutrality, combined with the power of the US military and the protection of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, would keep Americans safe while the Europeans sorted out their own problems. The best policy, they claimed, was for the United States to build up its own defenses and avoid antagonizing either side. Isolationists believed that World War II was ultimately a dispute between foreign nations and that the United States had no good reason to get involved. The urgency of the situation intensified the debate in the United States over whether American interests were better served by staying out or getting involved. Great Britain was the only major European power left standing against Hitler’s war machine. Nazi Germany had annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia and had conquered Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. Congress passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the late 1930s, aiming to prevent future involvement in foreign wars by banning American citizens from trading with nations at war, loaning them money, or traveling on their ships.īut by 1940, the deteriorating global situation was impossible to ignore. Most Americans still believed the nation’s interests were best served by staying out of foreign conflicts and focusing on problems at home, especially the devastating effects of the Great Depression. Neither the rise of Adolf Hitler to power nor the escalation of Japanese expansionism did much to change the nation’s isolationist mood in the 1930s. Many Americans were disillusioned by how little their efforts had accomplished and felt that getting so deeply involved on the global stage in 1917 had been a mistake. Hundreds of thousands of Americans were either killed or wounded during that conflict, and President Woodrow Wilson’s idealistic plan to ensure permanent peace through international cooperation and American leadership failed to become a reality. The US ambivalence about the war grew out of the isolationist sentiment that had long been a part of the American political landscape and had pervaded the nation since World War I. Even as the war consumed large portions of Europe and Asia in the late 1930s and early 1940s, there was no clear consensus on how the United States should respond. Before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, however, Americans were seriously divided over what the role of the United States in the war should be, or if it should even have a role at all. ![]() Top Image Courtesy of the Associated Pressįrom our 21st-century point of view, it is hard to imagine World War II without the United States as a major participant. |
