#2And yesterday we were all talking about how it was such a shame that they did the whole Greplin to Cue jump. At least they're doing good for themselves now. I can definitely see how this would fit in with apples calendar, email, tasks and all that other stuff to aggregate your schedule.

#3When Google acquires a company, the company usually is open about it "Yay we were acquired by Google". When Apple acquires they announce they are shutting down. Interesting difference.

#4That announcement yesterday looked a little sad and morose, but a company like that doesn't just go out of business, given all the interest in analysis of real-world user behaviour. Congrats all!

#5Even though they pivoted to calendar app, I still loved their search functionality. It was the fastest, most relevant search I'd ever used and was genuinely useful. Cheers to Apple on the great acquisition.

"The company will not be shut down post-acquisition, though it did recently shut down its app."

#8Clearly naming your startup after an Apple SVP is a good idea. I'd like to introduce my next startup - Schiller
I kid - congrats to the Cue folks

#10Figured as much. Cue's abrupt and terse announcement had a very Appley vibe to it.
