**Hot off the press 12/12/18**
“Publishers are expected to be paid based on how much time readers spend with their articles. Aesthetically, those articles will take on a conventional online format, rather than the recreation of print Texture currently uses.”
**Who has the United States Patent???

Good catch ! He’s using a 15x factor... I can’t believe it. How much could the $11 actually move North - on 15-20m in Revs ???
Wish we could get some Direction next door, ... better yet get a 15x over there.
3rd Xmas approaching... I’ll probably get avoided again
Avery are there any Recent Posts on Readr’s Twitter Page...
PIXL
Once again the proverbial word “WHY”...
Maybe Apple Eddy made a call...
Maybe Big Bad Bill made a call...
Maybe someone just wanted to throw a wrench in the mix... to slow-our-roll
Someone Caught wind...
“TIME” will tell!
PIXL !!
Interesting
Who can tell me who is “Dubbed the Netflix of Magazines”...
Who can tell me who has a U.S&Canada Footprint and who has a WorldWide Footprint that’s Relevant...
Who can tell me who has both an iOS & Android App that’s Relevant...
**Who can tell me who Apple would want to Acquire that’s Relevant...
I know what I would do with $1 Billion to spend on Services...
Hide and Seek Baby! Booooo x2
PIXL !!
I found the CONTENTs of this Article VERY Relevant to the Speculation on the Board regarding Apple’s sheer number of Hush-Hush Acquisitions... and Strategy.
Just a Great Article that speaks to the way Cook and Apple think and play the good old game of *Hide and Seek the Acquisition*
Could PIXL be next... could we already be a part of Apple News or in the Crosshairs ???
(The date of this Article is irrelevant as more recent Articles speak the same Language).
https://appleinsider.com/articles/14/03/01/why-apple-inc-is-keeping-the-identity-of-many-of-its-23-recent-acquisitions-a-secret
Hide and Seek the Acquisition Baby!
PIXL !!
Not sure... that’s a Good Question for the Board
102 and Counting... Texture made the list!
Big Money Flowing from the Apple Gang... look at #101&102.
If “Services” is Apple’s New Focus and their Pockets are Deep... Watchout33 !!!
“As of December 2018, Apple is publicly known to have acquired 72 companies. The actual number of acquisitions is possibly larger as Apple does not reveal the majority of its acquisitions unless discovered by journals. Apple has also purchased stakes in three companies, as well as made three divestments. Apple has not released the financial details for the majority of its mergers and acquisitions.
Apple's business philosophy is to acquire small companies that can be easily integrated into existing company projects.[6] For instance, Apple acquired Emagic and its professional music software, Logic Pro, in 2002. The acquisition was incorporated in the creation of the digital audio workstation software GarageBand, now part of the iLife software suite.[6]”

Who’s Next ?
Bundled Services Baby !
All you can eat !!
PIXL !!!
Oreva has a Rumor going around of a Second MINI IPO Q1... so they are still around don’t worry
Here’s something that’s NOT speculation...
Go ahead and Google 2 things -
“Apple Secretly Acquires”
“Apple Acquires”
Look how many companies were Purchased on the “Hush-Hush”...
Article after Article...after Article !!!
Rarely will Apple announce an Acquisition if the Company is Smaller... so guess what !!!
Now I’m gonna toss in a few quotes from a few Articles so I make sure to get it right -
“Apple said “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.”
“The stragic acquisition of an extremely lean, hard technology-focused team (of one) fits with Apple’s MO. It typically buys smaller teams to work on specific products rather than buying big staffs and trying to blend them in across the company.”
(what do we have 17 or so... and one more on the way... Perfect)!
Now from your other post regarding the .01/30m ratio... well I have the Texture Acquisition at a MINIMUM of $90m... and another article I can dig up in my Apple Archives shows a $120m MINIMUM!!!
So... .03-.04 MINIMUM!!!
“Texture has raised approximately $90 million USD, $40 million of which came from the publishers themselves, while the other $50 was raised in a funding round. So far, Texture has not put a valuation out into the public.”
Remember the Publishers/Owners were EXTREMELY HAPPY with the Deal... who is “EXTREMELY HAPPY” taking a loss ... NOBODY!
Minimum 90-120m !!!
And the fact the it’s “STILL UNDISCLOSED” IMO falls into the “HUSH-HUSH” category...!
Now with that Fantastic PR that NK released leaving to door open for the possibility of US still being PRIVATE makes me wonder... the Price Paid for Texture is Unknown... we need that number !!! Is it kept on the HUSH HUSH For Several Reasons ???
“How do I value the shares that I own in a private company?”- we need the Comparable!
The HUSH HUSH Baby !
Gotta ask WHY !
PIXL !!
Golden as in Golden Delicious...
Or
Golden as is Golden Oreo Cereal...
If we’re Golden... I’m Holden !
PIXL !!
Will we be eating Apple Pie... Walking Down the Yellow Brick Road... heading for the Spaceship...
or
Opening up our Favorite box of Oreo Cookies... inside the old Cookie Factory... outside Alphabet City...
Maybe both are on the Menu...
Only time will tell...
We’re good either way...
The Waiters carry Menus Baby !
PIXL !!
I Definitely Remember!
And I’m glad I’m not the only crazy one.
There’s more in the making IMO
PIXL
And we ARE International !!
I believe Texture was just in the US/Canada.
The Big Boys need that International Flavor !
PIXL
Funny how little brother is open for and trading without a PR... insiders at work ?
