Xerox Cedes Control To Fujifilm, Ending Its Independence (bloomberg.com)
mikeebbbd writes: According to Bloomberg, "Xerox, a once-iconic American innovator that became synonymous with office copy machines, is ceding control to Japan's Fujifilm in a deal that creates an $18 billion company." Essentially, it's merging with Fujifilm; a former joint venture operating in the Asian-Pacific area essentially will become the parent company... So much for the company that actually invented the modern graphical user interface later popularized by Apple and Microsoft. "The agreement marks the end of independence for a U.S. company whose roots trace back to the start of the 20th century," reports Bloomberg. "The joint venture will cut 10,000 jobs in Asia as part of the restructuring as the Japanese company struggles with an 'increasingly severe' market environment." While the new company will have a combined revenue of $18 billion, Xerox was acquired by Fujifilm for $6.1 billion.
Thanks for all the R&D over the years.

See subject: Your MASSIVE FAIL in this life is you're nothing more than a chattering little do-nothing "ne'er-do-well" online & you know it...
* Is that the best your "phantasyland FAKE NAME" (for your fake lie of a so-called 'life') can manage?
When a FAKE NAME do nothing like YOU does better than I have? Then talk (you're all talk & no action)...
You can't help you're an immature little BUTTHURT no-mind, lol! I blew you away in TONS OF PLACES and easily dust your no-mind bullshit blatherings.

P.S.=> The TRUE PRICE of your UNIDENTIFIABLE FAKE NAME do-nothing selves like you that I can ALWAYS CASH IN ON (lol) is that I can use FACT/TRUTH on them to SHATTER their all TOO fragile delusional egos that they actually know A DAMN THING in computing, lol... apk
Suppose this dissolves the confusion about "Fuji Xerox" (which is actually a joint-venture between the two companies and been around for a while; Fuji and Xerox were (prior to today) independent comapnies) and the FXPal lab (which was owned by the aforementioned joint venture.)
great now I will have to Fuji my documents...
Ok, that's not going to fly.

This transaction closes another chapter in the Big Blue Book of Missed Opportunities: https://www.forbes.com/sites/c... Just one question: How much Xerox paid to their Top Executives (in the 70's and 80's) for squandering their world changing technical discoveries?
Xerox, AT&T Bell Labs did incredible things. They innovated and they are the benchmarks I use whenever someone calls a company or individual innovative. And they usually fail when compared to those two greats.
They created AND implemented their ideas - they didn't just talk big like what most so-called innovators do today.
.. more of america dies off ...
Yep, we're getting greater by the day.
I'm thinking the finale to the French Revolution complete with guillotine will be our only solution to our runaway government of assholes, unless our nazi dictatorship comes and take the guns away from our morons next.
Wait, that will be tomorrow's headlines!
I wonder what Xerox does these days. Do you still have anything like PARC? I know offices still use Xerox machines but still I would think business in that area would still be much smaller than it used to be with the emphasis on paperless. No one use copy machines at home anymore they do everything digital.
why the fuck didnt trump stop this?!?! america first my ass.
PARC did not invent the first GUI and it was not much like the ones Apple and MS eventually came up with. Mostly PARC ripped off their mentor Doug Englebart at Stanford.
Tired of this meme. Xerox was a crappy company that could not invent its way out of a box.
... Excellent ... seriously though, the writing was on the wall when they hired that woman and started shedding the R&D while refusing to lower prices on their wax based printers because "we are the only ones on the market and people will pay for our patents".
I know some people working at Xerox, the company became all about following process (6-sigma) and profit and anything innovative that didn't make a profit right away was spun off and then those spinoffs got VC funding and made incredible profits.

C.D. Reimer is a renowned Slashdot collaborator, as he puts it himself; "Because of the quality of my posts and my article submissions, I'm a highly rated commentator and moderator."
But does anybody ever wondered what "C.D." stands for? Well, it stands for Creimy Dumpty of course!
Creimy Dumpty sat on the wall,
Creimy Dumpty had a great fall.

...when Trump talks about how he's going to "make America great again"?
Asking for a friend.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
I am sure President Donald J. Trump would be very proud of the death of yet another, once very successful American company

Interesting that in the US, a building older than about 5 years is considered 'old' and ready to be torn down and replaced with something new. Yet a company, that (let's be honest here) hasn't done anything of any real note in about 10 years is something to be sad to lose. Nostalgia is a funny thing...

RIP Xerox. Many hours were spent as key-OP on the Docutech, 5100 and 5090, among others. The digital printing innovations made may of us a lot of money.
