Today's core language
In the Internet age, the traditional IT giants are not doing well. IBM is an example. It is reported that IBM is expected to ushered in a large-scale restructuring next month, cutting 111,000 people. On the other hand, Internet company Amazon confirmed the acquisition of Israeli chip maker Annapurna Labs to expand Amazon's network data center. In terms of age, Amazon can only be regarded as a junior of IBM, but in the Internet age, the more dynamic Amazon has obviously been overtaking, while IBM is bloated and lacks innovation. In the Internet era, what about the Internet of Things era? Which technology companies will become dark horses? Please pay attention to today's electronic core news.
First, the semiconductor
1. IBM will usher in the largest layoffs in history: about 110,000 people will be cleared. On January 25th, IBM employees will face the biggest layoffs in the company's history next month. If there are no other factors, IBM will pay a large repatriation fee in the first quarter. It is reported that IBM will lay off 26% of the next month, about 110,000 people, the reason may be related to poor management. As of press time, IBM has not responded to Tencent's inquiry.
2. Amazon's $350 million acquisition of the chip company AnnapurnaLabs. According to the New York Times website, Amazon spokesperson confirmed on Thursday that the company has reached an acquisition agreement with Israeli chip design company Annapurna Labs. It is reported that Amazon's acquisition of Annapurna Labs is about $350 million. Although the acquisition of Annapurna Labs represents Amazon's strides into Israeli technology, it is unclear what Amazon is doing in this transaction. Annapurna Labs has always had a tight tone for the products it develops.
Second, smart home
1, Xiaomi, Haier split the circle of smart home two camps emerged. In the domestic smart home field, the two camps led by Xiaomi and Haier are all in the middle of the race, establishing and perfecting their own ecological circle. From the perspective of product structure, brand influence and scale, it is hard to find in China. A comprehensive home appliance company that can be matched, the decentralization of resources will increase the difficulty of integration.
2. Want to join Homekit? First hit the MFi logo. Apple finally made clear the premise that other smart home devices and Homekits should be interconnected: these devices must first support the HomeKit protocol and become an authorized product of MFi. This means that Google products like Nest, if you want to consider the Apple user market, also have to label MFi.
Third, cloud computing
1. The public cloud service market in China will show rapid growth in the next three years. IDC research shows that in the first half of 2014, Alibaba Cloud first climbed the IaaS service market with a market share of 22.8%; followed by telecom operators, China Telecom and China Unicom ranked second and third. Ranked fourth; fifth is the first international cloud service brand to land in China - Windows Azure, and the leader of the international IaaS market - Amazon AWS. This result also shows that international brands have steadily entered the Chinese cloud computing service market and have been recognized by certain Chinese users. Traditional data center service providers, such as Capital Online, Dr. Peng and Lancome, also have a place in the market.
Fourth, the communication chip
1. MediaTek intends to expand the US market: challenge it in Qualcomm's hometown. At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this year, MediaTek executives said they had developed a US market plan, and if they succeeded in North America, they would be successful anywhere else. "If you want to be the most global company in the mobile space, you must sell chips in North America," said Xie Qingjiang, general manager of MediaTek, at an interview at CES.
Fifth, automotive electronics
1. Google is uncharacteristically publishing a driverless car project partner. Google, which has always regarded its driverless car project as highly confidential, has publicly announced the key technical cooperation partners of the prototype of the new driverless car product last week. Chris Urmson, Google's driverless car project team leader, unveiled the names of partners at the recent North American International Auto Show in Detroit, ConTInental, Roush, Bosch, ZFLS, RCO, FRIMO, Prefix and LG, these companies have contributed to this high-tech car that looks like a pod.
Sixth, intelligent hardware
1. From UAV to parts and components, Dajiang has a valuation of over 10 billion. At present, DJI's innovative products account for about 70% of the global civilian small drones market, and its sales market is mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States, accounting for 80% of its past total sales. It is reported that DJI Innovation has recently introduced a fundraising plan for strategic investment in the second round. Sequoia Capital, which is famous for investing in early high-tech projects, is negotiating with it. The overall valuation of DJI Innovation is 10 billion yuan. In RMB, Sequoia Capital obtained a 2% stake in the investment of 200 million yuan.
2. Prepare for Apple Watch, and Apple will dig Burberry executives.

This message was confirmed by the above information on LinkedIn. Chipperfield is involved in Burberry's digital retail activities and is responsible for the user experience and digital design of all channels, which is important for Apple.
