Clippy’s resume, Big Mac for Chicago, Lax gun laws

from Viewsroom Hosted by Reuters

Microsoft’s willingness to plunk down $26 million for LinkedIn proves the software giant is slipping back to its old habit of illogical deals. Add Uber’s creative method of scooping up more money and Dropbox’s pronouncement that it is cash-flow positive and it could mean a cold wind is starting to blow in Silicon Valley. McDonald’s move to Chicago is a meaty win for the beleaguered city riddled with crime and a ballooning budget deficit. And finally, why lax gun laws in the U.S. are hurting the country’s influence abroad.
