It’s a theory anyway, laid out in an article I just did about Google’s “Search plus Your World” on The Daily Beast.
Is Google trying to leverage its way into Facebook’s data?

Further evidence that the rise of Android is driving Apple fans out of their minds
Check out the video below or view it on flickr. It’s from CES in Las Vegas. A guy from Samsung is showing off a window display that turns a glass window into a computer display. With the touch of a finger you can flip the “blinds” open and shut, change the color of the blinds,… Read more »
Samsung crushing it at CES
Business Insider: “Samsung is Already the Big Winner at CES.” Business Insider: “Wow, Samsung Beat Apple to a Voice-Controlled TV.” TechCrunch: “Why Samsung is the new Apple.” Funny, because supposedly Apple was going to “win” CES without even attending.
“I compare it to someone unleashing the contents of 20 prisons, a dozen mental institutions and a NAMBLA convention into a 1000-yard radius.”
That’s a friend, who is on his way to CES, describing the show. Sounds about the same as my experience, which is why I stopped going a few years ago. It’s too crowded, you can’t get anywhere, you spend all your time schlepping around, wandering through halls gazing up at flat-panel TVs or standing in… Read more »
More thoughts on Samsung
Someone on Google+ responded to my post, “Enough with the Samsung bashing,” by saying that I have no idea what goes on inside Samsung and therefore I should not assume that they’re not a bunch of thieving cloners. A few thoughts on this. You’re right, I have no idea what goes on inside Samsung. Neither… Read more »
Apple’s new TV isn’t even out yet and Lenovo has already copied it. Amazing.
Lenovo is showing off a 55-inch TV that runs Ice Cream Sandwich. Somehow they managed to time travel into the future, get hold of Apple’s TVs, copy it, and travel back in time to put out their clone. Look at the music icon in the bottom row. Looks exactly like the iTunes logo. They even… Read more »
Enough with the Samsung bashing
Samsung Electronics did about $140 billion in revenue in 2011. They’re the biggest tech company in the world by revenue. They make everything from cameras to telecom gear to TVs. They are also the second-biggest semiconductor company in the world and even make the microprocessors for Apple’s iPhone and iPad. Samsung has 160,000 employees, and… Read more »
An angry note from a reader
Just got this email regarding an article I published in December about America losing ground in supercomputing. In the print edition the article appeared under the headline, “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” Hi. Your article in Dec. 5, 2011, is disturbing to me. “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” Why do you feel the need to… Read more »
Ray Ozzie has a new startup and can’t explain what this one is doing, either
The name is Cocomo, he tells the Boston Globe. Something to do with collaboration and mobile. My guess is that three years from now a beta ships, and six years from now Ray will still be trying to explain what the stuff actually does.
Tech startups are too expensive and I’m taking a step back, says man with same name as man who claimed there was no tech bubble
Marc Andreessen tells the Wall Street Journal he has “taken a step back” from investing in tech startups because some deals are “definitely on the expensive side.” Turns out Andreessen hasn’t made any big investments since July. Which is weird because last July someone using the same name as Marc Andreessen told the New York… Read more »
