Music streaming service Spotify has seen a faster pace of growth since the launch in June last year of rival Apple Music, a top executive said on Monday.

Spotify, which was created in Stockholm 10 years ago, now boasts of having close to 100 million users in more than 59 markets, despite increasing competition and, so far, a lack of profits.

"It's great that Apple is in the game. They are definitely raising the profile of streaming. It is hard to build an industry on your own," Jonathan Forster... Читать дальше...

The White House is scrambling to clean up the political mess created by a New York Times Magazine profile of President Barack Obama's deputy national-security adviser, Ben Rhodes, who offered surprisingly blunt comments about the Iran nuclear deal and other contentious topics.

In the interview, Rhodes was candid about how the administration has sought to shape its foreign policy, and went into some detail about how "Beltway insider" experts and reporters helped... Читать дальше...

When interviewing for a job, it's instinctual to want to say what you think the interviewer wants to hear.

But if you think this is the best strategy for a successful interview, you'd be sorely mistaken, Edith Cooper, executive vice president and global head of Human Capital Management at Goldman Sachs, tells Business Insider.

If a candidate says, for example, that they have a passion for something because they think it will impress the interviewer, they should... Читать дальше...

Facebook says that it has guidelines to prevent its employees from suppressing any political views or new sources in its "trending" news section.

The company's denial comes in the wake of a new report from Gizmodo where several former news "curators" said that the team routinely omitted right-wing news sources from the trending section on the social network's right rail. 

"We take allegations of bias very seriously," Facebook later told Gizmodo in a statement. Читать дальше...

Wall Street has been a recurring subject in our current presidential campaign, and not in a good way.  It should be otherwise. 

The campaigns of both major parties have started a national conversation about opportunity and economic justice, and at the center of that conversation should be Wall Street.  But not without a change in the kind of talent financial-services attracts and nourishes.

Here is our world in 2016: Western economies are getting older... Читать дальше...

The America's Cup came to New York this weekend, bringing the fastest racing sailboats in the world to New York for the first time in almost 100 years.

Pivotal

Last Thursday, hot business software startup Pivotal announced that it had raised $253 million from investors like Ford and Microsoft — a mega-deal that valued the company at $2.8 billion.

But a form filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission shows that it had raised closer to $653 million, a massive $400 million gap.

So, two questions: First off, if the round was a whopping $653 million, why wouldn't Pivotal say so? Second off, where did that second $400 million come from? Читать дальше...

With the opening of "Captain America: Civil War" over the weekend becoming the fifth-largest of all time at the box office, the adaptation of Marvel comic-book characters continues to be a profitable endeavor for Hollywood.

While most of that success comes from Marvel Studios at Disney, which holds the rights to "The Avengers" — among others — 20th Century Fox has found a huge box office with the release of its "X-Men" and standalone "Wolverine" movies, not to mention... Читать дальше...

Rich people think differently than the average person, and Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, who died with an estimated net worth of $10.2 billion, was no exception.

In a Quora thread answering the question "Do billionaires know something that normal people don't?" Patrick Methieson noted a Jobs quote that encapsulates the "billionaire mentality":

"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it... Читать дальше...

Each supercar or high-performance auto brand has its own, distinctive mojo. 

Porsche is German precision taken the race track. Ferrari is sexy Italian-ness ripped from the race track. Lamborghini is flamboyance rendered in shimmering, neon-colored, shiny metal. Pagani is out-there and esoteric. Bugatti is suavely potent, the fastest and most elegant car around. Corvette is all-American with the whiff of midlife crisis. Mustang is all-American without the whiff of midlife crisis. Читать дальше...

The aim is to increase the overall forest cover of the nation, which currently covers 21% of the country’s surface, up to 33% over the coming years.

In the latest issue of The Harvard Business Review, a team of researchers argue that a steady increase in collaborative work is undermining organizations' performance.

Across industries, they say, the most knowledgeable and helpful employees are barraged by requests from coworkers throughout the company until eventually they burn out and quit.

It's a sort of "success syndrome," the researchers say — the more valuable you are to the company, the more demands get placed on you. Читать дальше...

Have you ever found yourself in a meeting with colleagues or superiors and felt as if you had nothing significant to add to the conversation?

You struggle for something "smart" to say, and at the same time fear your lack of engagement is making you appear uninformed.

Sadly, you are correct.

I've had the chance to try out some amazing phones this year: the Samsung Galaxy S7, the HTC 10, and even the Huawei P9, which isn't sold in the US. Right now, I keep an iPhone 6s Plus in my pocket.

But by far my favorite phone released in the last 12 months is the Moto G3. Durable, colorful, and beautifully designed, it's a budget phone that feels like a high-quality, premium gadget.

It's also the last phone I bought before becoming a full-time tech writer — at $220... Читать дальше...
