ComRo Tot TMC3000 by Jerome Hamlin (1982), ComRo Inc., New York, NY. The Comro Tot mobile programmable multilingual personal robot is fully programmable, and can also be operated using radio-control. It has a four-wheeled mobile base, both arms are functional, and its head rotates, enabling it to perform a wide variety of tasks including serving drinks. It’s based on a SYM-1 6502 computer, and like Comro 1, can talk using the Votrax SC-01 speech synthesiser. The body is fibreglass painted white. A TMC3000 was the top prize in a sweepstake run by Warner Communications, called the “GREAT Robot Giveaway” (final image); runners-up won a Comro Tot T-Shirt. Tot also made an appearance at the “Robot Exhibit: History, Fantasy and Reality” at the Avenue of the Americas in 1984. “WORDS failed Tot. It was only days before he was to usher visitors into the new exhibition at American Craft Museum 2, and all he could do was flail his arms or blurt out the wrong time. ''He's not outputting speech properly,'' said his creator, Jerome Hamlin. ''His battery must be low.'' Running out of whatever it is that passes for patience in a robot, Tot advanced - right arm raised - toward the museum's director, Paul J. Smith. ''Is he handing me a glass of water?'' Mr. Smith asked hopefully. ''No,'' Mr. Hamlin answered, ''this is an attack.'' The assault turned into a simple feint, so Mr. Smith walked off, unharmed.” – PAST AND PRESENT ROBOTS GATHER FOR EXHIBITION, by David Dunlap, The New York Times, Jan 12, 1984.

In 1984, "The Tot robot, manufactured by the now-defunct company Comro, puts a California sea lion through a series of tests during a demonstration at the New York Aquarium at Coney Island. The aquarium said at the time that they had plans to study the feasibility of incorporating a robot into its marine mammal shows." – Betamax and Chill But One of You is a Robot and the Other is a Seal, Paleofuture.

"It's So Cold in the D" turns 15 — the truth behind the accidental Detroit anthem we can't stop singing

By WWJ Newsroom

January 20, 20234:56 pm

DETROIT (WWJ) -- When it comes to Detroit artists who have made an impact on music and culture, there are truly too many to name.

But there’s one local rapper that Metro Detroiters quote regularly — especially during the winter months — who has never really gotten her due.

We’re talking about T-Baby, who had a massive viral hit 15 years ago this month with her now-iconic song, “It’s So Cold in the D.”

And if you tell us you didn’t just sing the hook as you read that — we don’t believe you.

The unbelievably catchy and quotable song was originally penned as a tribute to T-Baby’s late friend Mason Graham, who was fatally shot while trying to break up a fight at Universal Coney Island on Detroit’s east side in 2006.

The music video, was made with a shoe-string budget of just $300, hit YouTube in January of 2008, and went on to rack up an impressive 11 million views.

NOTE: VIDEO CONTAINS PROFANITY

In the years that followed, variations of the “It’s So Cold in the D” catchphrase have been included in tracks such as Eminem’s “Detroit vs. Everybody” and Big Sean’s “Story by Snoop Lion,” and the song has been performed in-concert by the likes of New Kids on the Block and Usher during tour stops in Detroit.

"It's So Cold in the D" received new life in 2011 when it was included in an episode of MTV’s “Beavis and Butthead” reboot, and the resurgence later resulted in a 2015 remix of the song (though nothing beats the original.)

NOTE: VIDEO CONTAINS PROFANITY

But even with all of its popularity, T-Baby says she received so much online hate after releasing the tribute — which she intended to be a commentary on violence in the city — she took an extended hiatus from YouTube and music to avoid the negativity.

Additionally, the rapper and artist, who grew up Latonya Myles on Detroit’s east side, has never really been given much in the way of compensation or credit for her original song.

Most artists who perform or reference it do so without permission, and despite holding a copyright on the “It’s So Cold in the D” phrase, it often appears on t-shirts, mugs and even candles with little to no money going back to T-Baby.

Though she has continued to have a social media presence and create music through the years, T-Baby says she still keeps mainly to herself, and doesn’t put a lot of trust in others.

But regardless of how people feel about the song itself, T-Baby created something that most artists have a difficult time achieving: staying power.

The song is now used on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, meaning a whole new generation is discovering the viral hit.

In another 15 years, you can bet that on a freezing winter day, Detroiters will still be turning to one another and uttering the phrase, “It’s so cold in the D.”

But if we don't start to give T-Baby the credit she deserves right now...well, there's really nothing colder than that.

Deutsche Telekom Stock Review

Deutsche Telekom is a Germany-based company that provides integrated telecommunication services. It operates through five segments: Germany, United States, Europe, Systems Solutions, and Group Development. The Germany segment provides fixed-network and mobile telecommunications services to consumers and business customers. The United States segment provides telecommunications services in the United States market; and the Europe segment offers fixed-network and mobile operations of the national companies in Greece, Romania, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, and Austria.

IPO

A major turning point in the world of telecommunications took place in November 1996, when Deutsche Telekom went public. It was the largest IPO in history and the capstone of years of intense effort by Goldman Sachs to establish a presence in the German market.

The company's offering marked a significant step in the development of an Anglo-Saxon shareholder culture. It was also the first telecommunications company to be listed on the Frankfurt and New York stock exchanges, as well as the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

It was the largest ever IPO and it was oversubscribed five times. Shares traded at nearly 20 percent above the issue price on their first day of trading.

In addition to its traditional services in Germany, the company provides telecommunications services throughout the rest of Europe and the United States. Its businesses include fixed network and broadband, mobile telephony, and information technology services.

Today, the company is one of the world's leading telecommunications companies with operations in more than 50 countries and a broad range of products and services. It has a worldwide network of around 248 million wireless and 26 million wireline customers.

The company has been in the forefront of telecommunications innovation, investing extensively in digital technologies to develop innovative new products and services for its customers. Examples include the Internet of Things, 5G technology, video conferencing, and artificial intelligence.

For a company like Deutsche Telekom, it is important to have a diverse product portfolio that appeals to different kinds of users. The company is also known for acquiring and selling companies to generate growth and streamline operations.

Despite its success, the company has faced several challenges in the past few years. It has lost customers to larger rivals, including AT&T and Verizon Communications Inc VZ.N, and it has also experienced a drop in revenue and profits.

However, the company's management has made efforts to turn its fortunes around, launching new business models and making strategic acquisitions. It is a leader in the telecommunications industry and it continues to seek ways to grow its business and create value for shareholders.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Deutsche Telekom is a diversified telecommunications company with a strong position in Europe and a booming US business. It operates in a number of different sectors, such as payments and commercial real estate tech.

In the US, the company is primarily focused on mobile services. Its subsidiary T-Mobile USA has an excellent record of growth and is a significant competitor to AT&T and Verizon. In addition, it owns Sprint (NYSE:S), which is set to become a major player in the U.S. telecom industry once the merger is complete in 2019.

The company has not made many major acquisitions, but it has done a few small ones over time. These smaller deals, such as the purchase of a Romanian carrier, the sale of T-Mobile Netherlands and its acquisition of Austria’s Telecom Austria, have improved its market position and scale.

Its US telco operations, T-Mobile USA and T-Mobile International, have been growing at very strong rates. These companies have a large customer base and are expected to continue expanding.

T-Mobile US is the second largest wireless service provider in the United States with a customer base of 120 million, behind Verizon. It has a very competitive pricing model and a great reputation in the industry.

However, the stock has not performed well in recent months. This is largely due to the fact that many investors are not aware of the fact that the German government owns 57 percent of the company. It has been criticized by a few legislators who think that the government should reduce its holding before the deal can be completed.

As a result, the stock has been down with other European stocks. If the Euro continues to weaken, this would likely help the stock and also its U.S. assets, which have been irrationally punished by European investors because they are included in a European stock.

To counter this, the company has been increasing its dividend and repurchasing some of its own shares, which are now trading at about a 50% discount to their value. These dividend increases and the repurchases should allow for further growth.

Shareholders

One of the largest shareholders in deutsche telekom stock is the German government and its agency, Kreditanstalt fuer Wiederaufbau (KfW). KfW owns 17.3 percent of the company's shares. It has been buying more shares and reducing its stake in a series of transactions.

Another large shareholder is the United States investment group Blackstone. It purchased 4.5 percent of deutsche telekom stock for $3.3 billion. It is hoping that the purchase will help the company achieve its long-term financial goals and boost shareholder value, according to the company's announcement.

It also plans to use the money to fund future dividend increases. The dividends are a key part of the company's plan to reinvest in new technologies and networks.

The company also recently rolled out an overhaul of its corporate strategy to focus on digitalization and adapting its business models to the changing needs of customers. The changes will make it a software company that sells telecommunication services, rather than just a hardware manufacturer.

This is a big shift from the days when telecommunications networks were made up of monolithic blocks of network elements. Today, companies like DT are disaggregating their technology and moving it into the cloud. This allows them to connect with third-party networks and use their infrastructure to provide telecommunications services.

In the case of telecommunications, this involves billing-software and other backend systems. These backend systems are responsible for collecting and analyzing customer data to make pricing decisions.

If these systems are not able to comply with GDPR, will they be subjected to enforcement action or sanctions by U.S., EU, or German authorities? If not, will they be the target of new private actions for fraud and/or breach of contract?

To protect its data, deutsche telekom stock has "binding corporate rules" that it has promised to abide by. These rules are "binding" on all of the company's subsidiaries and any of its other companies that can be required to comply with them or have already adopted them on a voluntary basis.

But what if deutsche telekom stock's subsidiary T-Mobile USA doesn't subscribe to these "binding" corporate privacy rules? Does it still have to comply with the "binding" rules, or is there something in the corporate law that prevents it from doing so?

Dividends

One of the coolest perks of being a shareholder of this German company is the opportunity to participate in its annual dividend payout. The company pays out an impressively large sum each year, and it has a long and distinguished history of making its shareholders happy. Despite its size, the company manages to stay on top of its game thanks to some innovative corporate strategies and a healthy dose of luck. In a nutshell, there's a reason why this stock has been a KfW staple for so long. The company is also one of the few surviving German telecoms. If you're on the hunt for a good value telecommunications stock, deutsche telekom should be at the top of your list. You'll be rewarded with top-notch service and competitive paycheques, not to mention a hefty chunk of the local economy.

After all, it's not every day that you get a free piece of the country's largest phone company, let alone one of the most innovative and coveted German telecommunications companies in the business.

### Google’s Acquisition of Android: A Strategic Move to Dominate the Mobile Software Market

In 2005, Google made a seemingly modest acquisition that would later prove to be one of the most transformative moves in technology history: the purchase of Android Inc. for an estimated $50 million. At the time, few could have predicted that this small startup, led by Andy Rubin, would lay the foundation for what would become the world’s most dominant mobile operating system. Android’s journey from an obscure platform to the leading mobile software illustrates not only Google’s strategic vision but also its ability to innovate, scale, and create a ubiquitous ecosystem that continues to shape the global digital landscape.

#### **The Vision Behind the Acquisition**

When Google acquired Android, the mobile industry was still in its nascent stages. Feature phones dominated the market, and smartphones, though available, were far from mainstream. The landscape was largely controlled by a few players, with proprietary operating systems like Symbian and Windows Mobile. Apple’s iPhone and iOS, which would later revolutionize the market, had not yet been introduced.

Google’s acquisition of Android was a forward-thinking move aimed at securing a foothold in the emerging mobile space. Google recognized that the future of computing was mobile and that controlling the operating system would be crucial in maintaining its dominance in internet services. At the time, Google’s primary concern was that a fragmented mobile landscape, dominated by closed, proprietary systems, could limit the reach of its search engine and other services.

Android, with its promise of an open, customizable platform, fit perfectly into Google’s vision. The idea was to create a free, open-source operating system that could be adopted by any hardware manufacturer, allowing Google’s services to be seamlessly integrated into the mobile experience of millions of users. This approach would not only democratize smartphone access but also ensure that Google’s core services remained at the center of the mobile internet.

#### **The Evolution of Android: From Concept to Market Leader**

After the acquisition, Google quietly worked on developing Android, unveiling it to the public in 2007. The timing was significant, as it came just a few months after Apple introduced the iPhone. While Apple’s iOS was a closed, tightly controlled system, Android was positioned as the antithesis: an open-source platform that encouraged customization and innovation.

The first Android phone, the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1), was launched in 2008. While it received mixed reviews, it laid the groundwork for what would become a revolutionary shift in the mobile industry. Google’s strategy was not just to create a competitive operating system but to build an entire ecosystem around it.

One of the key ways Google improved Android was by fostering a robust developer community. The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) was made freely available, allowing developers to create apps for the platform. This openness led to a rapid expansion of the Google Play Store, which quickly became a major selling point for Android devices. The availability of a vast array of apps allowed Android to cater to a wide range of users, from tech enthusiasts to everyday consumers.

Google also adopted an aggressive strategy of partnering with multiple hardware manufacturers, allowing Android to be used on a diverse range of devices at different price points. This strategy was in stark contrast to Apple’s, which controlled both the hardware and software of its devices. By contrast, Android’s flexibility allowed it to penetrate markets worldwide, particularly in developing regions where affordable smartphones were in high demand.

Another critical factor in Android’s rise was Google’s iterative approach to improving the platform. Each version of Android brought significant updates, ranging from user interface enhancements to performance improvements and new features. Google also worked on optimizing Android for different types of devices, including tablets, smartwatches, and TVs, further expanding its reach.

Security and user experience were other areas where Google focused its efforts. Over the years, Android introduced features such as regular security updates, encryption, and privacy controls to address the growing concerns about mobile security. At the same time, Google invested in making the user experience smoother and more intuitive, with updates like Material Design in Android Lollipop, which provided a more consistent and visually appealing interface across devices.

#### **The Creation of a Dominant Ecosystem**

Perhaps the most significant aspect of Google’s strategy was the creation of an interconnected ecosystem that extended beyond smartphones. By integrating Android with its suite of services—such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube—Google ensured that Android users were constantly within its ecosystem. This not only provided a seamless user experience but also drove user engagement with Google’s services, which in turn boosted the company’s ad revenue.

Moreover, Android’s open nature encouraged the development of a wide range of compatible devices, from smartwatches to smart TVs, further entrenching the platform in consumers’ lives. The introduction of Google Assistant, Android Auto, and Android TV expanded the platform’s reach, making it a central part of the connected home and the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape.

Google’s strategy of fostering partnerships also played a crucial role in Android’s dominance. By working with manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and Huawei, Google was able to ensure that Android was the default operating system on a vast majority of devices globally. This partnership strategy, combined with Android’s adaptability, allowed it to capture over 70% of the global smartphone market by the mid-2010s.

#### **Challenges and Future Prospects**

While Android’s rise to dominance has been impressive, it has not been without challenges. Fragmentation remains a significant issue, with many devices running outdated versions of the operating system, leading to security vulnerabilities and inconsistent user experiences. Additionally, Google has faced regulatory scrutiny in various regions, particularly in Europe, where it has been fined for anti-competitive practices related to Android.

Despite these challenges, Android’s future looks promising. Google continues to innovate, with developments in AI, machine learning, and augmented reality likely to play a significant role in Android’s evolution. The company’s efforts to unify the Android experience across devices, improve security, and enhance user privacy demonstrate its commitment to maintaining Android’s position as the leading mobile platform.

#### **Conclusion**

Google’s acquisition of Android in 2005 was a visionary move that has reshaped the mobile industry. By embracing an open-source model, fostering partnerships, and continuously improving the platform, Google has transformed Android into the world’s dominant mobile operating system. As Android continues to evolve, it remains a cornerstone of Google’s strategy to stay at the forefront of the digital age, influencing how billions of people interact with technology every day.
