Absrtact: 2012 A lot of people, companies or products of the success of our very deep impression, but there are some failures let us sigh. Here are the 2012 biggest winners and losers: First, the winner is Yahoo's new CEO Marissa-Mayer (Marissa Mayer

We were deeply impressed by the success of many people, companies, or products in the 2012, but there were some failures that we lamented. Here are the biggest winners and losers of the 2012:

The winner is Marissa Mayer, Yahoo's new CEO, and the loser is Sean Parker, the founder of Napster, and airtime of Facebook's social video chat site. Mayer is bringing Yahoo to real success by leveraging brand affinity and interpersonal relationships to revive "faltering" products such as Yahoo photo-sharing services Flickr, building and strengthening relationships with new partners. Although Parker's current social video chat site airtime still exists, few people in the chat room know or care about airtime, a product that has caused annoyance to users from the start. Airtime is a "high-profile" short-lived product that is likely to be forgotten in 2013.

Second, the winner is Microsoft, and the loser is Apple's ipad 3 buyer. Microsoft was seen as a winner in 2012 because Microsoft successfully launched a fundamentally redesigned operating system this year, updated its Windows Phone platform, added more hardware, and most market analysts expect the Windows Phone platform to "grow healthily". The ipad Retina (also known as ipad 3) is a really good tablet, but those who bought the tablet this March were happy to be unable to make it, because only eight months later Apple launched another more powerful alternative.

Third, the winner is Apple, the loser is social game business Zynga. It would be wrong to assume that it is significant, if only from the daily rise of Apple's share price, and, more significantly, from a variety of metrics, Apple's hardware sales are strong. Tim Cook, in addition, has apparently entered the role of chief executive of the world's most innovative company. Social gaming company Zynga now no longer has the growth of social gaming on Facebook and even on mobile phones. In addition, Zynga today confirmed that it would stop operations in Japan, which is now consolidating its operations and cutting some unprofitable sectors.
