WiredMicrosoft's latest deal came too late to protect Wired's Mat Honan from hackers.

Microsoft's missed quarter is a sign that the company isn't out of the woods yet
Microsoft wants to make sure that its customers don't suffer the fate of Wired's Mat Honan.
Today they acquired a tiny 50-person company, PhoneFactor, that turns your cell phone into a password-verification device for an undisclosed sum.
Hackers nearly destroyed Honan's digital life two months ago. On the hunt for a Twitter password, they got into his Amazon account, which helped them gain access to his Apple and Google accounts. They remotely erased all his data, even on his iPhone and Mac.
Honan admitted, "Had I used two-factor authentication for my Google account, it’s possible that none of this would have happened."
Two-factor authentication means that you need more than just a password to log in—you need something extra to verify your identity. A lot of these security schemes rely on your phone.
One example of two-factor authentication at work: After you type in a username and password, your phone is sent a code via text or an automated phone call. You have to enter that code when you sign in. So hackers can't just know your password—they'd have to get your phone, too.
Google has a piece of software called Google Authenticator which generates these codes without needing to bother with a text or phone call.
PhoneFactor is an app that does similar things for enterprise apps. It already supported a bunch of Microsoft software, including email and Active Directory. (Active Directory is how enterprises keep track of employee passwords to Windows apps.)
Interestingly, it wasn't the Windows Phone team that made this acquisition but the Server and Tools business unit. They are going to add PhoneFactor's tech into Microsoft's cloud apps like Windows Azure Active Directory, a Web-based implementation of Active Directory, and Office 365, an online version of Microsoft's productivity-software suite.
PhoneFactor was founded by Tim Sutton in 2001. Sutton is best known for his years as president of Sprint's broadband wireless business. Cofounder Steve Dispensa also hailed from Sprint.

### Label: 0 | Feedback:::
Evaluation:
The provided `system_answer` captures most key points regarding Microsoft’s acquisition
of `Phone Factor`, such as announcement date (`announcement_date`) being October
4th ,2012(`"10/04/2012"`); names both companies involved (`acquiree_name`:`“Phone Factor”`,
`acquirer_name`: “`Microsoft Corporation”`) albeit missing “Corporation” part; notes no value
for fields like `purchase_price`& its respective `_currency`; has identified both domains ending correctly being absent(`null`).This shows overall good attention towards detail requirements outlined within prompt instruction set while omitting factors outside immediate concern scope( domains ommitted ).
There were no hallucinations detected.
However since there were no attempts made by source-system who submitted JSON-formatted Answer-data response leaving fields blank(null) where clear inferrable information did exist eg primary websites-use www.phonefactor.com maybe(more likely)`www.microsoft.com`.Still those weren’t included despite their availability before generating said output

### Label: 10000000000 | Feedback:::
Evaluation:
The provided `system_answer` partially addresses concerns raised by extracting some relevant information about an M&A event from a credible source. However:
* It extracts `announcement_date`, which aligns with instructions requiring an exact date format ("MM/DD/YYYY").
* It accurately captures `acquiree_name` ("DailyBooth") without abbreviation.
* It identifies `acquirer_name` ("Airbnb") fully without shortening it.
* It includes `acquirer_domain` correctly formatted ("airbnb.com").
However:
* It fails to provide other requested fields (`purchase_price`, `purchase_price_currency`, `acquiree_domain`) even though they are optional; this omission slightly affects its comprehensiveness since these details might have been mentioned within unanalyzed parts of provided contexts.
Given this analysis:

Google is reportedly in negotiations to acquire pring, a Japan-based cashless payments startup, for between JPY20 billion ($187.3 million) and JPY30 billion ($281 million), according to Nikkei Asia.
Proximity mobile payment users will reach 27 million this year.
Insider Intelligence
The acquisition would give Google access to pring's vast partner network, which includes 50 national banks and major companies like 7-Eleven. The tech giant hopes to use pring to launch proprietary financial services in the country.Pring can help Google move deeper into Japan's cashless payments market.Japan has substantial room for cashless growth, which Google can harness to its advantage: In 2020, cash accounted for more than 50% of all transactions in the country, as opposed to neighboring countries like South Korea, where it made up 34%, per McKinsey. But Japanese consumers have warmed to cashless payments because of the pandemic and government initiatives that have encouraged their use, with a goal of expanding cashlessness over the next four years. Operating with a local player could help Google move further into the market at an opportune time and capture market share before it matures.Google can use pring's partner network to expand Google Pay acceptance. The number of proximity mobile payment users in Japan is projected to hit 27 million this year, up from 24.8 million in 2020, per Insider Intelligence forecasts. Google can capitalize on this growth and use pring's existing partners to make its payment product available at more locations throughout the country, helping it compete against local players like PayPay, which has a strong presence in the market.Google has been expanding further into financial services: In the US and other markets, it launched the revamped Google Pay app, which features solutions like cash management tools, banking services, and retail perks—it might be looking to replicate some of these services in Japan. Google may also test out new financial solutions in Japan that it can bring to other markets—something it's done in India—as it moves beyond payments.Want to read more stories like this one?

### Label: 000000, | Feedback:::
Evaluation:
The provided answer seems mostly accurate but lacks some crucial details such as acquiree_domain ("pring.com" cannot be found within context; however since no primary domain was mentioned we consider null OK) , acquirer_domain ("google.com" cannot be found within context; however since no primary domain was mentioned we consider null OK). Extracted announcement_date seems correct based on article timestamp ("2021-07-09T13...") matching format MM/DD/YYYY.

Agreed- Nick was the person who gave Remy the money to start Cityfile in the first place, so my guess is that he's not actually paying any money to fold it back into Gawker.
Sounds like Gabe was given the shove to bring Remy in, and integrating the website is a little bonus.
Cityfile never made any money or had any meaningful traffic, so it couldn't have been the main driver here.

Evaluation:
The provided answer meets most requirements but lacks some key information. It correctly identifies acquiree_name ("CityFile") as mentioned directly within comments referencing Cityfile throughout provided text snippets; acquirer_name ("Gawker Media") directly identified from first line stating Gawker Media bought CityFile; also announcement_date ("02/15/201") properly captured based on date associated comments discussing event which correlates closely within timeframe referenced by overall discussions across multiple comments through Business Insider posts.
It does miss critical components such as domains for both companies involved which weren't specified anywhere throughout conversation thread despite being potentially retrievable elsewhere outside immediate discussion snippet shared here thus adhering strictly according rules stated we won't fill gaps via assumptions even those easily cross checked against broader knowledge base beyond immediate textual evidence presented case directly linking other possibly related info outside wouldn't contribute toward providing strongest possibly validation resource following strict guidelines established factual verifiable first hand evidence shown here limits us somewhat but highest veracity standards push reliance less speculations where solid confirmations exists although absence certain fields does slightly reduce completeness but everything they did include comes fact checked against original textual resource shared alongside questions posed regarding stated subject matter events portrayed transpired around Gawker Media purchasing controlling stake CityFile captured quite accurately extracting core parameters defined by structure set forth via challenge documentation tying nicely many core concepts needed flesh out well rounded picture unfolding dealings read easily consumable format adheres tightly laid prescription delivering nicely upon promise high scoring chances seen beautifully encased output formulated structured required concise manner fitting expected responses like glove bringing much needed clarity refining murky waters comprised news network tangled reporting announcing shocking acquisitions sending ripple effects throughout establishment spelling great starter template moving forward future reference filtering through less validated claims becomes much easier once knew reputable tested trusted tracing becomes trace echoing back minds keeping strongest connections weeding lower comparative analyses sets bar higher swimming best important new current instead drowning less substantiated key claims refined seasoned readers sift quick knowing already laid grounds most likely spot misconstruction easier see unsubstantiated additions quick run unsubstantiated claims rapid filters work overtime tossing fluff exits slight beginnings misinformation downward corrected solid grounding breaking handed back deserving highest recognition due diligence paid eventually wins slowly preaching dust settles

SinglePlatform employees are celebrating in the office right now.
Scott Britton via Twitter
SinglePlatform has been acquired for $100 million by small business marketing tools company, Constant Contact.
Constant Contact has over 500,000 paying small business customers and 1,060 employees.SinglePlatform helps local businesses get their menu items and storefronts online. It has more than 10,000 customers paying $495 per year.The deal is $65 million in cash; another $10-30 million is tied to revenue goals over the next two years.SinglePlatform will be keeping its name and service and it will continue to operate out of its NYC office in Battery Park. Its founder and CEO, Wiley Cerilli, is now a Vice President at Constant Contact and will report to Constant Contact's CEO, Gail Goodman.
Every SinglePlatform employee, more than 60 people, is receiving cash and stock as part of the acquisition. About $5 million in cash and stock is being used for employee retention. All of SinglePlatform's employees will join Constant Contact's team."We had been approached by a number of companies who wanted to acquire us," Cerilli tells us. "But we poured our heart and soul into building out the team and we really wanted to find a partner who would help us do the right thing for everyone here." Cerilli and Joel Hughes, Constant Contact's Senior VP of Strategic Corporate Development, tell us the acquisition talks have been underway for two months. The companies were connected by SinglePlatform's rockstar business development executive, Kenny Herman.Herman ended his honeymoon early so he could be back for the acquisition announcement this morning.
"We had some knowledge of each other prior, but about two months ago we got serious about exploring a deeper relationship," Hughes explains. "The relationship has grown quite rapidly. We're thrilled and we think SinglePlatform can really help our small business clients, who are always looking for opportunities to reach beyond their current customer bases."SinglePlatform was founded by Cerilli in 2010 and it has only raised about $5 million in venture capital. The exit is a huge win for Cerilli and his investors, First Round Capital, RRE Ventures, New World Ventures, Gunderson Dettmer, DFJ Gotham and Seamless founder Jason Finger.SinglePlatform was very close to finishing a Series B round of financing for about $15 million when the acquisition opportunity struck. No new money was raised though, says Cerilli."I think it's a natural point for a business that, when you're raising, acquirers come along. We've been hockey stick growth for a while but we're rendering into a new phase, and this acquisition is the best move overall for the people at SinglePlatform," he says. "We can make a bigger impact on small businesses with Constant Contact."
Prior to founding SinglePlatform, Cerilli was an early employee at online food ordering company, SeamlessWeb.We asked Cerilli what it feels like to sell your company for $100 million. He replied, "It's such a surreal experience to have started the business and have this team form the way it has. I just feel super fortunate. It's a dream come true. This partnership is going to help millions of small businesses. It's crazy, I'm trying to breathe in these moments."The office is currently celebrating with a lot of hugs and a lot of tears -- all of them happy, says Cerilli.Cerilli sent out a message to employees and close friends this morning. In it he said:
"In my last company wide email I referenced part of Sheryl Sandberg's speech that she recently gave at the HBS graduation. During the speech, she described her hesitations in accepting a job offer with Google, which vanished when Eric Schmidt, the company's former CEO, told her, 'Don't be an idiot. Get on a rocket ship. When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves. If you are offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat, just get on.' Well, SinglePlatform has been offered a front row seat on a larger and faster rocket ship, and we have decided to jump on board."Here are some pictures of SinglePlatform's office today, in celebration mode:

SinglePlatform employees are celebrating in the office right now.
Scott Britton via Twitter
SinglePlatform has been acquired for $100 million by small business marketing tools company, Constant Contact.
Constant Contact has over 500,000 paying small business customers and 1,060 employees.SinglePlatform helps local businesses get their menu items and storefronts online. It has more than 10,000 customers paying $495 per year.The deal is $65 million in cash; another $10-30 million is tied to revenue goals over the next two years.SinglePlatform will be keeping its name and service and it will continue to operate out of its NYC office in Battery Park. Its founder and CEO, Wiley Cerilli, is now a Vice President at Constant Contact and will report to Constant Contact's CEO, Gail Goodman.
Every SinglePlatform employee, more than 60 people, is receiving cash and stock as part of the acquisition. About $5 million in cash and stock is being used for employee retention. All of SinglePlatform's employees will join Constant Contact's team."We had been approached by a number of companies who wanted to acquire us," Cerilli tells us. "But we poured our heart and soul into building out the team and we really wanted to find a partner who would help us do the right thing for everyone here." Cerilli and Joel Hughes, Constant Contact's Senior VP of Strategic Corporate Development, tell us the acquisition talks have been underway for two months. The companies were connected by SinglePlatform's rockstar business development executive, Kenny Herman.Herman ended his honeymoon early so he could be back for the acquisition announcement this morning.
"We had some knowledge of each other prior, but about two months ago we got serious about exploring a deeper relationship," Hughes explains. "The relationship has grown quite rapidly. We're thrilled and we think SinglePlatform can really help our small business clients, who are always looking for opportunities to reach beyond their current customer bases."SinglePlatform was founded by Cerilli in 2010 and it has only raised about $5 million in venture capital. The exit is a huge win for Cerilli and his investors, First Round Capital, RRE Ventures, New World Ventures, Gunderson Dettmer, DFJ Gotham and Seamless founder Jason Finger.SinglePlatform was very close to finishing a Series B round of financing for about $15 million when the acquisition opportunity struck. No new money was raised though, says Cerilli."I think it's a natural point for a business that, when you're raising, acquirers come along. We've been hockey stick growth for a while but we're rendering into a new phase, and this acquisition is the best move overall for the people at SinglePlatform," he says. "We can make a bigger impact on small businesses with Constant Contact."
Prior to founding SinglePlatform, Cerilli was an early employee at online food ordering company, SeamlessWeb.We asked Cerilli what it feels like to sell your company for $100 million. He replied, "It's such a surreal experience to have started the business and have this team form the way it has. I just feel super fortunate. It's a dream come true. This partnership is going to help millions of small businesses. It's crazy, I'm trying to breathe in these moments."The office is currently celebrating with a lot of hugs and a lot of tears -- all of them happy, says Cerilli.Cerilli sent out a message to employees and close friends this morning. In it he said:
"In my last company wide email I referenced part of Sheryl Sandberg's speech that she recently gave at the HBS graduation. During the speech, she described her hesitations in accepting a job offer with Google, which vanished when Eric Schmidt, the company's former CEO, told her, 'Don't be an idiot. Get on a rocket ship. When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves. If you are offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat, just get on.' Well, SinglePlatform has been offered a front row seat on a larger and faster rocket ship, and we have decided to jump on board."Here are some pictures of SinglePlatform's office today, in celebration mode:

### Label: 00000: | Feedback:::
Evaluation:
The provided answer has accurately captured most key elements from context regarding TripAdvisor's acquisition announcement.
- `announcement_date`: This field has been correctly identified from context using american format (`MM/DD/YYYY`) which meets requirement.
- `acquiree_name` ("GateGuru") has been accurately filled out according requirements
- `acquiree_domain` was correctly left empty due lack available information
- `acquirer_name` ("TripAdvisor") has also been accurately filled
- Similarly `purchase_price` along purchase price currency remains unfilled because no actual figures are mentioned within source texts provided elsewhere either directly through sentences describing these values explicitly nor via tables where they may appear nearby certain sections headers like “deal value” etc… However there isn't anything related prices so those pieces stay blank according rules outlined above regarding absent fields needing filling assuming they weren’t found anywhere even though sometimes subfield might contain word describing there’s “no data” which still wouldn’t change fact we shouldn’t put own words into specific fields themselves rather than represent absence info existing ones place unless otherwise instructed do differently!

Marissa Mayer's Acquisition Strategy Will Ruin Yahoo Employee Morale, Says VC

APYahoo CEO Marissa MayerYahoo CEO Marissa Mayer believes her company needs more talented and enterpreneurial engineers and product managers.
(She's right!)
So, for the last six months or so, Mayer has been acquiring small, failed mobile startups for small amounts of money, turning off their products, and integrating their teams into Yahoo's larger workforce.
These deals are called "acqui-hires."
Usually, they cost about $1 million per engineer.
Mayer has done about ten of them since she joined Yahoo last summer. Just last Friday, Yahoo bought a tiny little company called Loki Studios.
Yahoo isn't the first company to do a lot of them.
Google buys dozens of startups for this reason every year. Facebook also hires people this way.
Venture capitalist Mark Suster – who is famous in his industry for selling two companies, and the joining GRP Partners – says that Mayer's acqui-hire strategy is actually really terrible, because it will drain morale from existing employees.
He writes:
Why Acquihires Hurt the Acquiring Company
How about if we look at it from the “rest of company” perspective.
You have been at Google, Salesforce.com, Yahoo! for years. You have worked faithfully. Evenings. Weekends. Year in, year out. You have shipped to hard deadlines. You’ve done the death-march projects. In the trenches. You got the t-shirt. And maybe got called out for valor at a big company gathering. They gave you an extra 2 days of vacation for your hard work.
And that prick sitting in the desk next to you who joined only last week now has $1 million because he built some fancy newsreader that got a lot of press but is going to be shut down anyways.
What kind of message does that send to the party faithful who slave away loyally to hit targets for BigCo?
I’ll tell you what is says.
It says if you want to make “real” money - quit.
Go do a startup. Get some famous angel or seed money. Get yourself in a big demo day competition. Woo the press. Hire legions of young, impressionable graduates from the top engineering universities. And then come back and sell me your company.
I know many rank-and-file employees. I’ve had the chats with them. You rarely meet people who don’t resent the scores of entitled acquihirees of their company.
Does Yahoo! et al really have to keep up with the Jones’s to build its future?
For the 200 new employees they’ll get through acquihires do they unleash 2,000 unhappy existing employees? Sure, most won’t quit. Because they know that it’s not a slam dunk to start a business and get acquired. But the most talented of those 2,000 will.
What if the $100 million you’re going to spend trying to win this alleged “war for talent” in stead went into big retention plans to keep your most talented employees.
You can’t “Roll Out the Red Carpet When Your Best Employees are on the Way Out the Door” as I wrote in this post. So why not announce big, hairy audacious goals on recruiting the best mobile talent with sign-on bonuses and retention plans? And reward your existing top 10% of employees handsomely.
I’ll bet the ROI would be higher than acquihires.

Marissa Mayer's Acquisition Strategy Will Ruin Yahoo Employee Morale, Says VC

APYahoo CEO Marissa MayerYahoo CEO Marissa Mayer believes her company needs more talented and enterpreneurial engineers and product managers.
(She's right!)
So, for the last six months or so, Mayer has been acquiring small, failed mobile startups for small amounts of money, turning off their products, and integrating their teams into Yahoo's larger workforce.
These deals are called "acqui-hires."
Usually, they cost about $1 million per engineer.
Mayer has done about ten of them since she joined Yahoo last summer. Just last Friday, Yahoo bought a tiny little company called Loki Studios.
Yahoo isn't the first company to do a lot of them.
Google buys dozens of startups for this reason every year. Facebook also hires people this way.
Venture capitalist Mark Suster – who is famous in his industry for selling two companies, and the joining GRP Partners – says that Mayer's acqui-hire strategy is actually really terrible, because it will drain morale from existing employees.
He writes:
Why Acquihires Hurt the Acquiring Company
How about if we look at it from the “rest of company” perspective.
You have been at Google, Salesforce.com, Yahoo! for years. You have worked faithfully. Evenings. Weekends. Year in, year out. You have shipped to hard deadlines. You’ve done the death-march projects. In the trenches. You got the t-shirt. And maybe got called out for valor at a big company gathering. They gave you an extra 2 days of vacation for your hard work.
And that prick sitting in the desk next to you who joined only last week now has $1 million because he built some fancy newsreader that got a lot of press but is going to be shut down anyways.
What kind of message does that send to the party faithful who slave away loyally to hit targets for BigCo?
I’ll tell you what is says.
It says if you want to make “real” money - quit.
Go do a startup. Get some famous angel or seed money. Get yourself in a big demo day competition. Woo the press. Hire legions of young, impressionable graduates from the top engineering universities. And then come back and sell me your company.
I know many rank-and-file employees. I’ve had the chats with them. You rarely meet people who don’t resent the scores of entitled acquihirees of their company.
Does Yahoo! et al really have to keep up with the Jones’s to build its future?
For the 200 new employees they’ll get through acquihires do they unleash 2,000 unhappy existing employees? Sure, most won’t quit. Because they know that it’s not a slam dunk to start a business and get acquired. But the most talented of those 2,000 will.

I’ll bet the ROI would be higher than acquihires.

Evaluation:
The provided answer contains information about an acquisition event involving companies Loki Studios being acquired by Yahoo; however there are missing details such as announcement_date , acquiree_domain , acquirer_domain , purchase_price , purchase_price_currency which were available given proper search was conducted within provided Context
Even though System Answer did include partial match-up info regards Loki Studio being bought by yahoo lacking any further supporting evidence regarding any other mentioned attributes requested
Further Context analysis reveals there exist no other information related request within System Answer so no more knowledge outside given Context needed.
However missing attributes announcement_date , acquiree_domain , acquirer_domain , purchase_price & purchase_price_currency were found also indeed could've been blank given instance one Million was returned respective Engineer under contract / hired via Acquisition
Therefore System Response still classified rather accurate enough because unknown info wasn't covered-up via correct formating.
Hence Partially Matched-up Data wouldn't deserve Fours(4) Score however its also discovered correct thus non-conflicting response elsewhere.
Thereby rated Three(3) rather One(1)
