Additionally, we have more than 10,000 customers worldwide, including many in the Fortune 500, who trust us to power their intelligent automation. One of the biggest challenges – and opportunities – is the need to create impact and value for customers. The Software As A Service (SaaS) model also means customers can more easily switch providers if they are not seeing the expected value. An aspect to this is that we are moving from a vendor, buyer relationship to a partnership built on technology, service provision, and innovation. Another major challenge is the currmaent economic and labor environment that has caused many decision makers to pause on major IT initiatives.

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi complained that people are still asking, "can Uber ever be profitable?"

Uber didn't "lose" $5.2 billion in Q2, as the headlines suggested.

Uber's cash on hand went up to $11.7 billion.

The company makes money hand over fist.

It added to the impression that Uber is simply burning cash, subsidising cheap taxi rides to grab market share, with no real idea of how to turn itself into a sustainable, profitable business.

Queiroz's move to work alongside Google CEO Sundar Pichai comes at a surprising time, as the highly anticipated Pixel 4 is expected to launch this fall.

Queiroz, who joined Google in 2005, has been involved in Google's hardware efforts for years.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella didn’t say anything significant at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked this week.

The CEO of a $1 trillion company showing up to your event is enough to make a statement.

And the statement is that Microsoft and Samsung are strengthening their partnership in a variety of areas, including to bring Android and Windows closer.

Before Nadella hit the stage, Shilpa Ranganathan, general manager of Microsoft’s mobile experiences group, video-conferenced in to show off some of the integrations.

That’s certainly noteworthy, but nowhere near as useful as the existing functionality — letting you access your text messages, photos, and notifications right on your PC.

Your Phone is still limited to select phones running Android 7.0 or greater.

The three properties in Montauk, New York combined are over six acres and include two houses and one guest house, the Journal reports.

Broadcom has swallowed Symantec for a bargain-bin price of $10.7bn (ÂŁ8.82bn) in cash, boosting the chip maker's enterprise security clout.

Word of Broadcom's intentions first surfaced in early July as the firm sought to broaden its software portfolio.

The deal looked good to go for $15.5bn until negotiations faltered when Symantec insisted on nothing less than $28 a share – which turned out to be too dear for Broadcom after due dil.

Symantec's stock price immediately plummeted while Broadcom was rewarded with a small uptick, reflecting Symantec's "damaged goods" reputation with the market.

But it appears the pair have buried the hatchet, yesterday announcing an agreement with almost $5bn knocked off the original price.

Broadcom reckons the deal is the next logical step following its purchase of Brocade and CA in 2017 and 2018 as it moves to a broader infrastructure technology role rather than processors, network controllers and Wi-Fi chips.

Following Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' swift move to count Tesla vehicles as part of its vehicle fleet in the European Union, FCA CEO Mike Manley believes the company will not face any fines this year or in 2020.

Automotive News Europe reported Wednesday on Manley's comments during a conference call about FCA's second-quarter financial results.

The Tesla deal saw FCA pay an incredibly large sum of money to stay compliant with the most recent EU emissions regulations.

Manley also said the automaker will avoid future fines as it introduces more electrified models and new internal-combustion engines that are more fuel-efficient.

Specifically, he was referring to mild-hybrid versions of the Fiat 500 and Jeep Renegade on the horizon, along with PHEV variants of the Renegade, Wrangler and Compass.

Combined, Manley said the company expects the electrified vehicles to make up 5% of the automaker's sales mix in Europe.

(Reuters) — Chipmaker Broadcom said on Thursday it will buy antivirus software maker Symantec’s enterprise security unit for $10.7 billion in cash to scale up its software business through deals.

Shares of Symantec rose 3.6% and Broadcom 2% in extended trading.

Broadcom last year bought U.S. business software maker CA for $18.9 billion and was reportedly in talks to buy infrastructure software company Tibco, which was taken private by Vista Equity Partners for $4.3 billion in 2014.

Its push to software came after a failed attempt last year to buy mobile chipmaker Qualcomm Inc for $117 billion, which was scuttled by the Trump administration, citing national security.

“M has played a central role in Broadcom’s growth strategy and this transaction represents the next logical step in our strategy,” Broadcom Chief Executive Officer Hock Tan said.

Through a string of acquisitions, Tan has propelled the chipmaker that was worth just a few billions to a market capitalization of about $108 billion in the 13 years that he has been at the helm.

WeWork is reportedly working on a weird corporate structure for its upcoming IPO that would give massive tax benefits to early insiders, but not to those who buy in later.

According to the Financial Times, the new structure means CEO Adam Neumann and other insiders will pay an individual income tax rate.

Anyone buying shares in the IPO will be taxed at a corporate and individual level.

The move follows some other curious manoeuvres by WeWork, namely Neumann selling his shares and borrowing against his remaining holdings to the tune of $700 million.

Uber is freezing hiring for software engineers and product managers across its US and Canadian workforce, the company acknowledged to Bloomberg on Friday.

The shift was reported by Yahoo earlier in the day.

The freeze does not apply to Uber's autonomous vehicle and freight shipping divisions.

The news comes a day after Uber reported second quarter operating losses of $5.4 billion—a new record for the company.

That figure exaggerates Uber's quarterly burn rate because it includes more than $4 billion in one-time charges related to Uber's initial public offering.

Still, excluding IPO-related charges still leaves around $1.2 billion in operating losses, worse than the $1 billion the firm lost in the first quarter.

The days of cheap ride-hailing may be ending.

Uber and Lyft reported quarterly financial results this week and indicated that their cutthroat competition to woo riders with coupons and other gambits is easing.

Lyft officials told investors they had raised prices on routes in some cities in June, and touted the company’s upcoming pricing algorithms, which they hinted might be able to more precisely predict what riders might be willing to pay for a ride.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said that his company’s rivalry with the other big San Francisco-based ride-hailing company had cooled—for now.

“We and Lyft are big-time competitors here and have been for some period of time, but for now we’re seeing generally, category positions that are stable,” he told investors Thursday.

“We are focused on improving profitability in this market.”

Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Uber considered buying its couriering competitor Caviar this summer but ultimately passed on the deal, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told CNBC on Friday morning.

Caviar was eventually sold by its owner, Square, to DoorDash in a $410 million cash-and-stock deal.

"You can expect us to look at every single deal out there in the marketplace," Khosrowshahi told David Faber and Jim Cramer minutes before Friday's opening bell, as Uber investors braced for a more than 8% decline following the company's disastrous earnings report the afternoon prior.

One year ago Samsung unveiled the mammoth Galaxy Home alongside the Note 9 at Unpacked 2018.

The device was pegged to be Samsung's challenger to other smart speakers in market such as the Google Home, Amazon Echo and Apple HomePod.

12 months later and it's still nowhere to be seen.

We didn't know much about the Galaxy Home, but it was partnering with Spotify and was said to include AKG, full-range speakers and a subwoofer.

It was also supposed to include SoundSteer, which would allow the speaker to optimise the sound and direct it wherever you were in a room.

While the Galaxy Home never received a hard release date, Samsung CEO DJ Koh comfirmed with CNET that it would be arriving in April 2019.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard murmurs of Honor launching a TV.

In July, Honor lifted the lid on its Honghu 818, a television chipset.

This octa-core processor is clearly more capable than your average TV engine.

With support for Motion Estimation/Compensation, HDR, Super Resolution, Noise Reduction, Dynamic Contrast Improvement, Auto Color Management and Local Dimming, it’s clearly smart, and if it’s anything like the products Honor has launched in the smartphone world, it will be competitively priced.
