1. Microsoft may acquire Salesforce.com. Hmm...First Salesforce is known for not really making money and paying employees by options and Microsoft is known for bad acquisitions including Skype. Thus, the deal is not likely to be great...
2. TOMS shoes combines charity and business. I admire their mission but I wonder if they are distributing the shoes efficiently. If they give the shoes to the same region every time then people would appreciate less. Also, do they modify the shoes so they last longer in developing nations?
3. McDonald stores in Australia are selling gourmet burgers. Wow...McDonald never ceases to amaze me. I still remember how McDonald turned itself around with healthier menus and coffee!! Wow, if this is the future, I am all for it :D
4. Only 17% of California homeowners have earthquake insurance. Hmmm...given the recent tremors, may be we should get the earthquake insurance.
5. Cigarettes are the most commonly found trash in oceans. We can solve this by further raising cigarette prices by including the clean up cost. We should also have a challenge in making degradable cigarettes. Yes, heavily fining litterers work as well.
