o Tech Companies Stress Unity, Equality in Wake of Trump Election
Two days after Donald Trump's historic presidential election win, the heads of several tech companies continue to react about the outcome and what it means to their future. Apple CEO Tim Cook reaffirmed his company's commitment to social progress and equality, even quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a memo to employees, published by BuzzFeed. "We have a very diverse team of employees, including supporters of each of the candidates," wrote Cook. "Regardless of which candidate each of us supported as individuals, the only way to move forward is to move forward together." At eBay, CEO Devin Wenig noted that his company was founded by an immigrant. "We will continue to advocate for principles and policies that support the needs of the global eBay community, and I will continue to speak publicly about inclusion, trade, and the positive role that technology can play in peoples' lives around the world," wrote Wenig in a note to employees published by Recode. And a blog post by Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith stressed unity. "Today is a day that finds some Americans celebrating and others commiserating about the electoral result," wrote Smith. "But it's also a day that reminds us of what makes the country special. It's a day that provides an opportunity to look beyond disagreements and divides, identify bold solutions to common problems, and find new ways to work together." All three notes are at the links below.

San Jose, Calif. -- Adobe, the San Jose-based developer of web publishing software, said on Thursday it will acquire Emeryville-based TubeMogul, developer of a video advertising platform, in a deal valued at $540 million. The company said it plans to launch a cash tender offer at $14 a share.

"Video consumption is exploding across every device and brands are following those eyeballs," said Brad Rencher, Adobe's executive vice president and general manager of digital marketing. "With the acquisition of TubeMogul, Adobe will give customers a `one-stop shop' for video advertising, providing even more strategic value for our Adobe Marketing Cloud customers." TubeMogul CEO Brett Wilson will continue to lead the business as part of Adobe's Digital Marketing business. The deal is expected to close by the end of February.
