What are the differences among all these different versions of Vivendi?
"VIV.PA - is Vivendi listed on a stock exchange in Paris VIVEF - is Vivendi listed on the OTC Other Exchange. VIVHY - is Listed on the OTC:Pink Sheets.  A company can be listed on multiple exchanges, they are known as a dual-listed company. It's a corporate structure in which two corporations function as a single operating business through a legal equalization agreement, but retain separate legal identities and stock exchange listings. Pretty much all DLCs are cross-border, and have tax advantages for the corporations and their stockholders. When a DLC is created, in essence two companies are created and have two separate bodies of shareholders, but they agree to share all the risks and rewards of the ownership of all their operating businesses in a fixed proportion, laid out in a contract called an ""equalization agreement"". The shares of a DLC parents have claim to the exact same underlying cash flows. So in theory the stock prices of these companies should move exactly the same. However in practice there can be differences between these prices. More info on OTC exchanges can be found here - keep in mind this info is from the company that runs these listings. Over the counter stocks are held to a FAR lesser regulation standard. I would recommend doing further interdependent research before pursuing any action."
What's wrong with WIX? I've heard some good and bad about it. I signed up for it because it's cheap concerning how I didn't know how well this would even do at all. I was going to move to Shopify if I got bigger and had more funds to start.  For the last response, how would I research how competitive the market is for organic search? Again, I'm such a noob and am starting from little knowledge, please bear with me here. Haha. Satya has amazingly turned MS around. They were the laughing stock of most developers for many years but have picked up a number of big name developers, released a lot of great developer tools and are starting to be relevant again. It's an amazing transformation and for the first time in my life I'm looking forward to what they do next. Did I have a reading comprehension fail?  What I got out of the article as the fact that they're shedding users, but nothing about *why*.    It is a fairly deep question, their games were incredibly popular, and addictive, a few months ago.  It could say something profound about the way people use casual games and social networks.  Or maybe it because Zynga's method of doing A/B testing on minor variations of the game, then choosing the version that captured more of the ~~victim~~ user's time and testing another minor variation the next day, doesn't make their games entertaining for long.  On the other hand, I'm pretty sure anyone who plays Farmville by choice is fundamentally immune to boredom. "Wait a second, I can't be the first to notice this,  near the top of the article: The internal contents, however, were often the exact same English words being read by their classmates buying high-priced US editions.  but later farther down: In cases where goods were actually produced abroad—  this brings up the very definition of *produced* for ""intellectual property"", to my mind the mere fact that it is printed outside of the country is simply a logistical convenience.  If in fact it was written by a U.S. author living in the U.S. then it *wasn't* actually produced abroad.  Same goes for U.S. *produced* software in foreign manufactured goods." I quit the company during the Nadella transition.  I was a Site Reliability Engineer, and my entire discipline was gutted and tossed at the company, as were the testers. Maybe it's been good for consumers, but the way it was handled internally, with an indefinite stream of reorganizations and middle management competition, just made it a terrible place to work.  When I left, I had been through 9-10 reorganizations in as many months. Every time I'd get a project or a service to work on, we'd get moved. Most of my coworkers left for Amazon, some left the field entirely. I hope it's better now, nobody deserves that.  Windows Server 2016 was one of the worst builds I've ever worked with, and I have been really happy to stop supporting the OS entirely. The docker gaps in particular in the windows ecosystem seem pretty significant, and languages that don't run on Linux seem antiquated and useless because of pressures from cloud platforms. The website likely has no differentiation. I am hoping, however, the service does.   I'm not looking to break down a fledgling business plan, I am just looking for information on how and where to build or buy a website that performs thusly:  Company creates account and posts the service they can provide, Consumer applies for said service, I deal with some required middle-man work which is at the cost of the consumer. For our company, we use Microsoft Enterprise E5 as it allows us to communicate easier, manage projects and information, assign tasks, etc.  As there's only 3 of us it works well but comes at a cost of £30 each per month.  As it sounds as though it's only you on your own you should check out Trello.  We were using Trello previously but communication between us wasn't great on there and it got too cluttered way too fast.  For setting personal goals and tasks it's perfect, especially as the basic account is free. Are you asking me for my review?  The iPad3 feels *generally* buggy and slow. The iPad2 is faster. It also felt like a proper evolution of the iPad.  The iPad3 doesn't. It doesn't feel like a better iPad2. It's noticeably heavier and slower, and mine has crashed twice in the last week. The fact that I have an iPad3 and iPad2 side-by-side leaves me disappointed.  The Playbook is lighter than the iPad3- it's about half the size. The picture isn't as nice. It doesn't have Skype. The user interface is nicer. It has a better spreadsheet and email client and ssh client. It doesn't require a separate SIM (it tethers to my phone). It has a good *feel* to it, and is comfortable in my hands. It hasn't crashed on me yet.  On my commute I use the playbook, and not the iPad3. The iPad3 gets used largely for Facetime and Skype while at my office.  I generally *enjoy* using the Playbook over the iPad3. It takes some time for folks to renegotiate contracts and adjust policies in the commercial realm.  It's never as easy as simply going to a different web page. The different buearus have slightly different ways of scoring people, different APIs to integrate with everyone's software, and take somewhat different things into account. That takes some time to change. Without giving away any important details needlessly, I was pointing out that there are some fundamental things that we will offer.   After speaking with a user experience strategist, we came to an interesting market research finding, which reported that the majority of service providers are registered to a multiple number of platforms. As well as this we are targeting a niche that will offer us the ability to be dominant, eventually phasing in new sectors/industries. I have encoded videos that we watch via Apple TV XBMC on our overpriced Sony Bravia LCD in one room and a cheap Acer LCD in another. They look amazingly different on these two screens. Same movie, same playback unit, same HDMI connection, different TVs.  The Sony presents a smooth display with few artifacts. Good motion, clean image on pause, etc. The Acer displays tons of MPEG encoding artifacts, palletized chunks in what should be smooth gradients, visible in motion as well as paused.  I'm just saying that there is a different in what you get when you pay more. The quality of the discs generated through this process is definitely higher than the quality of the discs produced through duplication. On the contrary, in the process of CD/DVD replication, each disc is paid individual attention and the result is no compatibility issues and no lags too.Some clients might take this as lack of professionalism, but on the contrary, there is no such issue related to those being replicated. Al igual que la fidelidad del cliente, la “lealtad” a una marca está cuestionada.  Cómo valora el público tus marcas está cambiando, garantía de desempeño y diferenciación se están volviendo más relevantes. Las variaciones en los hábitos de consumo y en las relaciones empresa-cliente afectan estas valuaciones.  El principal activo de tu marca es la garantía que le provee al consumidor sobre la satisfacción de sus expectativas. Proporciona seguridad en el proceso de decisión de compra, lo hace más fácil.  Antes la gente adquiría una marca “conocida” pues brindaba confianza en su desempeño y el costo de conseguir referencias sobre productos sustitutos era alto. Hoy la información satura la Internet y los medios de comunicación, las opiniones positivas y negativas se diseminan rápidamente en la web. La publicidad pierde credibilidad y solo satisfacer al cliente mejor que la competencia cada día te permitirá mantener el valor de tu marca. I have found that using the online version can help determine the correct product.  Try Deluxe online, you can upload the data from last year. When you get to the key forms see what happens if you don't switch.  Then switch to Premiere. Compare the results. Yes you are right. The cannibalisation comment was for opening up every pricing point.  The article is quite specific to app pricing published by an individual. It doesn't apply to say a food product or a durable being brought to the market.  A thing on the last comment. Wondows may sell three versions but the distinction is there and clear. A light version, a regular version and an enterprise version. They are labelled pretty much the same as Home, Professional and Enterprise. Good marketing or names to distinguish between the products. Different needs for different products. An app is priced much less and uses can be trivial (yet invovled).
