IBM has struck a deal to acquire cloud software company Red Hat for $34 billion.
IBM will pay $190 per share for the software company, which it described as the world’s leading provider of open source cloud software, a more than 60% premium to Red Hat’s closing stock price of $116.68 on Friday. Shares traded upwards of $175 in June, but disappointing earnings combined with a volatile market had seen the price drop sharply.
Perhaps going to work in the morning wouldn’t be such a drag if the workplace was designed by People’s Architecture Office (PAO). The firm is responsible for off-the-wall ideas like a pedal-powered RV and ventilation shaft dwelling, and has now revealed an unusual office complete with running track, garden and a seating area meant to resemble a mountainside.
The office serves as the new Beijing headquarters for the Leping Foundation, a non-profit. It measures 1,100 sq m (11,840 sq ft) and, most notably, includes a running track available to any employees who want to stretch their legs. Above it is a suspended planter full of greenery. Staff are encouraged to partake in the gardening, and its vegetables and herbs, as well as produce from other hydroponic gardens nearby, are harvested and prepared on-site for lunch each day in an open kitchen.

The electric car-maker made a record $311.5m (£241m) in the three months to 30 September, as the pace of car deliveries accelerated.

Starting a restaurant may seem like a huge leap of faith, but there are some very simple guidelines you can follow to make your restaurant a success. Food is a universal joy throughout most religions, cultures, and nations, so if you have the desire to work hard and create some amazing food then why not have a go? Below are some tips to starting a restaurant:
Design the Perfect Menu
Before you begin you need to decide on the type of food your restaurant is going to serve. You may decide that you want to serve healthy food or maybe you want to serve Indian food. A good idea would be to conduct some market research to find out what type of food the customers would like. Find out as much information as possible. For example, ask people about their favourite restaurant dishes, what foods they dislike, etc. You want to make sure that your restaurant appeals to the target audience, so market research can really help here. Most successful restaurants only offer a small selection of meals each day; this not only cuts down on the cost of food waste to the owner, but it also stops the customer feeling overwhelmed by the size of the menu.
After years of saying women need to “lean in” to their workplaces in order to climb up the ladder, Sheryl Sandberg is now saying it’s time for companies to do the same, too.
In an op-ed penned in the Wall Street Journal Tuesday, Sandberg wrote that for over 30 years, women have been earning more bachelor’s degrees than men, yet they still remain underrepresented in organizational charts. The findings arise from the 2018 edition of the Women in the Workplace survey, carried out by Sandberg’s Lean In organization and research firm McKinsey, which examines the experiences of over 64,000 employees and 279 U.S. companies. Despite companies making commitments to gender diversity, the data shows that progress has largely stalled.
More and more, the internet is delivered wirelessly, but as bandwidth demand grows in each home — multiple TVs, smart devices, tablets and phones — current Wi-Fi standards are starting to fall short. Fortunately the FCC and wireless industry are prepared for this, and the former has just officially proposed opening up a wide swathe of spectrum to bring our Wi-Fi systems up to gigabit level.
Orange Is the New Black’s sentence is up. Netflix announced this week that the show’s seventh season, hitting the streaming service next year, would be its last. After that, it’s dunzo. 
For many viewers, this is sad news—the inmates of Litchfield have been a part of the conversation for a long time now. But for everyone else, and for the future of TV broadly, it’s a move that’s long overdue
According to recent research done by Harvard Business School, women are less than 10 percent of the entrepreneurial and venture-capital labor pool, Hispanics have been around 2 percent and African Americans have been less than 1 percent.
Empowering entrepreneurial equality is just one of the many reasons Kendrick Nguyen started Republic, an equity crowdfunding platform. The Republic CEO believes equity crowdfunding can overcome many of the challenges women and minorities have historically faced when it comes to raising venture capital for their startups.
Allow time and resources to work before your business is a success
It does not happen overnight. Regardless of how much money or resources you have put into your online business, it will not be a success within a single day. You have to wait for everything to work or take off once you have set the right mechanisms. Even after that, you have to keep working and managing those resources and mechanisms to make sure they are in their rightful place. Use the services of a good digital marketing agency to help you stay ahead in terms of streamlining your marketing tactics.
