Reminder: Almost 90 per cent of the revenue of the company formerly known as Google — grandly rebranded Alphabet this fall, even if everyone, including me, is still going to call Google Google — comes from advertising. Mountain View’s annual revenue is around $69 billion at this point. It makes almost all (89 per cent) of that money-mountain from ads. It might like… Read More... →

Atlassian, the company behind enterprise software like HipChat, BitBucket, and JIRA, went public this week, raising $462 million in its initial public offering (IPO) and picking up a solid pop in its stock market debut.
