Google Glass Will Be Made in the USA by Foxconn
Google‘s high-tech glasses will be manufactured in California, according to multiple reports, in the latest example of an American tech company choosing to build one of its products in the United States. Google’s highly touted computerized spectacles, known as Google Glass, will be assembled by Foxconn Technology Group, the Taiwanese industrial giant that builds many of Apple‘s products, at a plant in Santa Clara, California, according to reports in the Financial Times and Bloomberg. Google’s decision comes just months after Apple CEO Tim Cook announced plans to spend $100 million to build one of the existing Mac lines in the U.S. Apple’s plans were highlighted by President Obama during his 2013 State of the Union address. Obama has called for tech companies to increase U.S.-based manufacturing, and although there are signs of an uptick, there remains considerable debate about whether this is a long-term trend or a short-term byproduct of the U.S. economic recovery.

The decision to separate Time Inc. from Time Warner came after talks to sell most of Time Inc.’s magazines to Des Moines-based publisher Meredith Corporation ended without an agreement.

New York Times Co. To Sell Boston Globe Amid Changing Media Landscape
The Times they are a-changin’ — again. The New York Times Co., parent company of the Gray Lady, plans to sell The Boston Globe, the venerable newspaper founded in 1872 by six Boston businessmen. The sale, which has been expected, is another indication of the rapidly changing U.S. media landscape, as the Internet transforms traditional media companies and new upstarts rise to challenge them. The decision to sell The Globe (part of the New England Media Group) is the first major action undertaken by new Times Co. CEO Mark Thompson, the former head of British Broadcasting Corp. For the last several years, The Times has been shedding assets and developing a new strategy centered around video, mobile devices, social media, and international growth. In short, The Times aims to become the premier global news organization, one deeply rooted in technology. “Our plan to sell the New England Media Group demonstrates our commitment to concentrate our strategic focus and investment on The New ...
