Wish I held onto my Nuance stock from a couple years ago
One of my fantasy football leagues is with a bunch of Nuance employees so maybe I can convert my winnings into common stock?

Doubt it, and I doubt it had any impact on Microsoft's purchase. I just mentioned it because some people didn't know who Nuance is, but know about Swype, as it was a fairly popular keyboard before it was shut down back in 2018.
I don't know if Microsoft could implement any features from Swype into Swiftkey, as I don't know if Nuance still has the source code for Swype.
Amazon only has like 1/3 of that. Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet and Apple are the only other companies over $100 billion.
(Berkshire is Buffet's company, it hasn't bought enough stocks the last years. With Covid, they are too prudent in buying up companies.)
Nuance has naturally dragon speaking standard and industry specific versions.
Mostly they deal with ocr, natural language ocr, speech recognition and things of that nature.
(Ocr means converting scanned pdf text to editable document text.)
It's a good fit for office.

For some reason I thought Apple had more than anybody.Amazon only has like 1/3 of that. Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet and Apple are the only other companies over $100 billion.

Yes. Seems like I used a slightly old one. Apple is at double that nowadays.
That part (the scanning/PDF/OCR software etc.) was sold to Kofax; the car voice recognition was spun out as its own company Cerence like two years ago.
Could be that Apple isn't keeping their money at rest, but spending it on R&D or giving dividends to stock owners. I think in sheer profit they are the biggest company.
Big tech run the world dude, including governments. Governments just include people that want to be on these trillionaire company's good side.
No, they have. I just used a picture from 2019 because I couldn't find a more recent one with Amazon. They doubled up after 2019.
I'm still salty at Nuance for turning Swype from the best keyboard to a piece of shit. I was an alpha tester for Swype back when they were independent and they were doing some great things with the keyboard, then Nuance bought them and force integrated their "Dragon" stuff and fucked it all up. Took all of the feedback and stuff from us testers and threw it in the trash.
Big get for Microsoft, tho.

Damn. MS can buy Sony if they want to.Amazon only has like 1/3 of that. Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet and Apple are the only other companies over $100 billion.

This. I am so very bitter about Swype. In addition, it has never been adequately replaced on Android.
IOS's seemingly better keyboard is what may actually get me to make the jump
It's swype ability is still leagues better then any other Android keyboard.
Does MS have job offerings for cash truck drivers? I'd be interested.
Microsoft could buy half-a-dozen lower-tier-big-tech companies and still have enough left over to buy a random game studio in Europe. All while still having enough to give christmas bonuses that year.
Microsoft is just massive. If they really want something (and the company isn't ideologically opposed to Microsoft), they are going to outbid everyone and get it. Thats just the kind of "Fuck you" money Microsoft has. They can flex all over all the tech companies.
Apple's the odd one. Wonder what happened to the other $150 billion cash they had a few years ago.Amazon only has like 1/3 of that. Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet and Apple are the only other companies over $100 billion.

Apple is America’s richest company that isn’t a bank, with nearly $250 billion in cash
It’s so much money it would be almost impossible for Apple to invest it all productively.

They're either hiding it overseas in some secret account... or they decided to blow 150 Billion Dollars into low-profile aquisitions, R&D or chip production. Could go either way, really
i imagine a vault like Scrooge Mcduck. You swim in it to complete the transaction.
