10 Things In Tech You Need To Know This Morning (AAPL, YHOO)
Happy St. Patrick's Day, kids. Here's the big news of the day:
<ol>
<li> Before Steve Jobs died, he told his top 100 staffers that he had no plan to do a TV because televisions are a crappy business <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">. </span></li>
<li> Late Friday, an employee at well-funded startup GitHub announced on Twitter she was quitting because of persistent harassment at the company <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">. On Sunday, GitHub </span>announced that it was suspending one of its co-founders<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.</span></li>
<li> Jony Ive did a long interview with the Sunday Times. <span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> (This feels like it's to drown out a new negative book coming out on Apple by a former Wall Street Journal reporter. The book is "Haunted Empire," and it's on a media tour starting today.)</span></li>
<li> Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, filed for an IPO <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">. Its revenue and earnings are smaller than we expected. Revenues in 2013: $188 million, up 185%. (Twitter by contrast got $665 million in the same period.) </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Net loss in 2013: $38 million (its net loss is declining).</span></li>
<li> The Dorian Nakamoto who was accused of inventing Bitcoin by Newsweek is now lawyered up. <span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> He unconditionally denies inventing Bitcoin.</span></li>
<li> Marissa Mayer's first redesign of Flickr was a flop, so she's re-redesigning <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">. The new look should be out in a few weeks.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> ISI analyst put out a note last night saying that Apple has the "mother lode" upgrade cycles coming this summer with a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone. This analyst isn't the most solid source, so be skeptical, but there is a lot of smoke around the idea of two iPhones right now.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> The NYT profiles Planet Labs, a startup sending satellites into outer space . It says there are a bunch of startups trying to go to space right now.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> Meet AOL's digital prophet, Shingy. He's a really nice guy who dresses to shock you. He works with advertisers, and chose the grandiose title for fun.</span></li>
</ol>
