If you're a user of DuckDuckGo, here's a quick way to get to the full-text of the WSJ article: !gn "Microsoft Buys German To-Do List Startup 6Wunderkinder" (!gn is the Google News !bang)
Microsoft also bought Sunrise calendar recently, who a few weeks ago announced compatibility features with Wunderlist. An interesting play from Microsoft. I wonder if it's one individual within the company who is pushing in this space. I also wonder if they will shutter both companies and integrate, or do what Facebook did with Instagram etc.
US based headquarters cannot transfer money from foreign sister companies back to US without paying tax, so they buy foreign companies. Wunderlist seems like one of many todo list apps: https://www.wunderlist.com/

I feel like, if your goal is to get bought by Apple, Google or Microsoft (or a pharma company, for that matter), it would be wise to incorporate in a country where they can use their offshore cash to buy you. Maybe Americans can start getting in on it.

Offtopic: Speaking about Microsoft, I just noticed a "Windows 10" advertisement in my Windows 7 taskbar next to the clock. Windows update silently installs and launches new applications (two executable) and one of them comes with enabled Telemetry. 23MB big ad-program is located in C:\Windows\System32\GWX\. Check your Windows 7/8 taskbar. Source: http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/31/microsoft-starts-prompting... https:/…
And oh crap, one of my favorite startup quotes was "Nobody got rich making a Todo list App." That is in danger of being falsified :-)
It is interesting to consider Microsoft's putative strategy here which is that the mobile "OS" is still searching for the right mix of capabilities to completely replace laptops.
