Tan told investors during the company’s third fiscal quarter of 2018 conference call Thursday that he thinks Broadcom will be able to tap into CA Technologies’ current software customers to sell its switches, routers, and fiber optic equipment. “Just as we have done with hypercloud players, we believe we can bring our compute offload solutions, our Tomahawk switches, Jericho routers, fiber optics, and our server storage connectivity portfolio directly to these same large enterprises that are buying CA software,” Tan told investors, according to transcripts.

Link: New Common Sense Media survey finds more positives than negatives in teen use of social media

‘“Overall, Common Sense said teens are more likely to view social media as a good thing in their emotional lives.

Link: When Concorde was the future

“Concorde was pitched at the business set of the 1970s, with all of its 106 seats priced at first-class levels.

Pop stars were frequent flyers: Concorde famously (or infamously) allowed Phil Collins to play both the London and Philadelphia sites of Live Aid on the same day in 1985.
