I love Kotlin and her twin sister Swift. They're both beautiful and allow you to code apps for the desktop, server, mobile, watch, TV, IoT, and everything in between. They're here to stay and they're a joy to use. Jump on the

They lack the ecosystem and the army of developers to build it. Apple and Google are the best positioned at the moment with tvOS and Android but they're lacking vision. Samsung could enter the arena and then Huawei, LG, Sony, etc. I ne

Sure, Youtube would be the first app no doubt about it, I'd like to see Casey Neistat on TV every night, but now imagine instagram, snapchat, twitter, facebook and all social apps on your TV. Phones will still be widely used on the go,

Start with an Apple-TV-like device that we can plug to our TVs and allow us to browse the web from our couches. Compete with Google and Apple in that arena and let us developers build tools for the world to enjoy the computer ten feet away,

That's exactly the wrong mentality in the business. How much does it cost to allocate a million dockers for a million developers to play? A million dollars? Take it as a huge advertisement billboard that will pay a million fold when th

An important thing, besides mobile payment, will be web payment. So start a viral campaign to show people how to put their email account on their web page and ask buyers to pay their shopping carts using this Google Pay app. Use your phone

I love this idea, it can be even bigger than Paypal. Three suggestions: First, make it a mobile app as a simplified gmail with just the recipient, the amount and a memo. That's it. In version two add the pic, avatar or whatever people

I insist they're missing a huge market segment between a $10 raspberry and a $500 mac mini. A billion units of a $99 Apple-TV sized computer. The Mac Nano.
