Facebook is worth more than Amazon. Following yesterday's earnings report, Facebook shares hit an all-time high in after-hours traging at $75. Price had been very stable this morning as well, confirming yeserday's pop. Shares opened $75.96 a share, then set a new record at $76.74. Now, shares are trading at $ 75.13.

In other words, Facebook's market capitalization is now around $190 billion, which is above Amazon's market capitalization of $165 billion.

With $2.91 billion in revenue and earnings of $0.42 per  share, the company beat the analysts' expectations. When you see Facebook's earnings chart, it seems like there is no end in sight. Facebook is a great example of a tech company that has performed very well since going public.

It could have bigger consequences on the stock market. Investors could become bullish on other tech stock due to Facebook's good performance.

Facebook is a much different company than it was when it went public May 2010. At the time, most of its users were browsing the social network on their laptops, and the company's ad offering wasn't as effective as it could be. Now most users go to Facebook on their phones, and the mobile ads are performing very well.

But if you look back even futher, nobody would have thought five years ago that Facebook would be worth more than Amazon, around hlaf of Google and Microsoft. One last number, Facebook is now worth more than eight times Twitter.

Rackaspace- the publicy-listed enterprise cloud services company that competes against the likes of Amazoin's AWS, Microsoft and Google_has been in the spotlight after announching May that it has hires bankers to help consider offers to parter with or be acquired by another company. However, it could choose a third option: taking itself private.

Following the likes of Dell in turning away form public market accountability while it focuses on developing its business in a fast-changing tech world, we have heard from a source that Rackspace has been negotiating with a private equity firm to borrow capital for the deal, with a plan to make an official announcement as soon as this week ( keep in mind that we're hurtling to a public holiday in the U.S.).

"The pressures of being a public company are much," another source within the company noted.

A Rackspance spokesperson says the company does not comment on rumor or speculation. In other worlds, we have not been able to confirm what the source has told US.

But it's an interesting option that does not seem to be off the table even if you read the documents Rackspace ths filed.

While Rackspace hired Morgan Stanley to evaluate offers from third parties, it's also been consulting the board on "other alternatives which could advance Rackspace's long- term strategy," as the 8-K notes.

Taking the company private, as another opportunity, "has gained sufficient traction" among the board, our source claims.

The option of going private has come amid at least three acquisition bids, including offers from HP and IBM, the source continues. The HP offer was for up to $43/share. As a point of comparison, right now, Rackspace is at $33.66 with a market cap of Just under $4.8 billion.An offer at that premium would value the company at over $6.1 billion.

The second source confirmed to us that HP was a name floated for a partnership.

The IBM offer fell through, our first source says_detail that the not been confirmed by IBM directly, even if the bigger sentiment has been seemingly bolstersed by other public statements its executives have made.

Other companies that have been suggested as optential buyers ( or pratners) include CenturyLink, Cisco, Dell and EMC. Citigroup analysts have estimated that a CenuuryLink offer, were one to be made, could come in at around a $44/45-per-share premium.

If our source is accurate, the news makes come sense simply in the context of what is happening with the company right now.

Rackspace has been busy building out open source platform layer called OpenStack on top of its hosting business to differentiate itself and compete better aagainst the Amazons of the world. It offers Open Stack solutions across a range of infrastructure-as-a-service products, including dedicated, "Bare Metal" configurations such as this recent OnMetal addition.

Offering OpenStack and effectively open sourcing its infrasturcture means less engineers and less engineering costs, and it lest Rackspace spend more on support, our source noted. "Rackspace's whole angel is 'managed could 'versus AWS/Azure's 'unmanaged could."

But building out a business in a tech area like could-based hosting, which has become very commoditized, is a tough business.

Infrasturucture is cheap and other companies that compet with Rackspace in the business of offering could service continue to Lower prices. All of this has contributed to 57%, or over $44, since a high in January 2013.

You could argue, however, that some of that drop has been too harsh undervaluing Rackspace, given that the company's been seeing growing revenues and improving margins (both of which were up in the most recent quarter ). This is both why the company is an "attractive takeover traget," as source says, but also possibly why the board has thought the offers being made were too Low.

It's also a fair enough argument for taking the company private_ to move Rackspace away from the "fickle" public market consensus, as one observer has described a potential delisting scenario.

The last time Rackspace was private, as a startup, it counted companices like Sequoia, Norwest and Red Hat among its investors.

An HP bid some have noted, could be in line with a wider strategy at HP to invest heavily in building more could services. HP, along with IBM and Red Hat, have been amoung those endorsing OpenStack.

Our source had ssaid that an announcement could come this week. The 8-K from warns against expecting quick decisions ( indeed, it's been 1.5 months since that announcement was made). "The company has not set a timetable for completion of this process," the company writes, "and does not intend to discuss or disclose further developments with respect to this process unless and until the Board approves a specific partnership or transaction."

Update: We've tried to make clear that we're reporting an unconfirmed source here, but an intersting aangle nonetheless. Dealreporter has taken that one step further and published a note with a far more skeptical view of the idea that Rackspace could potentially be taken private. It says it received a note with some similar wording and disputed the veracity of the source.

protagonist, but here goes. In the past week, Tinder's fromer VP of Marketing Whitney Wolfe filed a complaint with the California court claiming that she eas sexually harassed and discriminated against at work, stripped of her co-founder title, and unfaairly pushed out of the company.

The challenge in telling this story, as is very common with startup origin stories, is that the truth may be far murkier than it seems.

Text-message evidence presented in the complaint appears to show abhorrent behavior from Tinder co-founder and CMO Justin Mateen, who has since indefinitely suspended from the company.

Mateen declined to cooperate with TechCrunch on this story.

It doesn't mater to me whether Justin and Whitney were in a relationship, friends, broken up, or merely coworkers; there is absolutely no excuse for the things that Justin said in those text massages. And that's not the only time we've seen bad behavior from him.

But without defending his actions, it's important to look at the different pices of this puzzle, especially as that case involves accusation against not just Justin, but also Tinder as a company and its majority shareholder IAC.

I've spoken to mumerous sources who were present at the beginning stages of Tinder, most of whom wish to remain anonymous of the lawsuit. ( Tinder offcially declined to comment on this story.)

It's Friday, with about 2 hours left in the West coast work day. Are you working? like actuslly working? Probably not.

So Let's watch freaking rockets get shot into space instead!

After a bunch of delays, SpaceX is scheduled to launch six satellites into the sikes for ORBCOMM, a company that help companies use satellites for everything from asset monitoring to wireless communciation.

And since we live in such wonderful times, you get to watch things get shot into space from your couch. Live! You don't evenhave to wear panst! Lncredible.

Here's the stream, which, annoyingly, I can't embed. Launch has been pushed back about an hour, with takeoff currently set for just after 4;00 PM Pacific. Theyre having some last second technical diffculties, so there's a non-trivial chance today's mission will get scrapped _but they're currently convinced they'll get things patched up in time.

Update; Mission aborted! They had pressure issues they could't resolve in time for Launch.

( Interesting side note: This isn't the first time ORBCOMM has Launched with SpaceX_at the end of 2012 , the Launch of one of their prototype satellites ended up in a orbit when one of the nine engines on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket failed. The end result? After about 50 hours of floating around in ( the wrong part of ) space, it all spir aled back down to earth. All in all, the lost cost ORBCOMM [or at least their insurance plan] around $10 millionbucks.)
