I agree. However, G-Glass is a bigger cross between fashion and tech than regular smartphones. IMHO the G-Glass should just be a monitor+camera for your phone. I think manufacturing it will be much easier and the the size of the system will

it's on the side of their head and its very small and hardly noticeable. This is on your face. In front of your eyes and it's very noticeable. They need to partner with fashion brands and put this on real fashionable glasses/sunglasses. Ima

I heavily agree with your rant. Many apps are just brushing old ideas with new social, mobile or html5 coatings. Ignoring the fact that the idea is still the same.

mmm.. yes that is true. It will be interesting to see which paradigm wins or we might have all of them exist side by side. Apple is betting on separation of mobile and full size computers. Windows and Ubuntu are betting on the same OS on a

I love how they are saying less processing power is better. If netbooks taught us anything is that sacrificing too much processing power for battery life ends up with frustrated users. Why not just use a Ultrabook? Everything is in the clo

I agree that more time will be spent on casual games but the big blockbuster, multiplayer, RPG games will still have their market. the IE for xbox is just part of the movement on Xbox to turn it into the entertainment center of the living r

You are 100% correct. The big blockbuster games will become like movies and the casual games will be like tv shows. Blockbuster movies flop all the time like "John Carter". On the other hand we are going to have freemuim multiplayer games

There is no technical difference between a laptop, console, desktop either. But who would want a tablet that is as thick as a laptop, with fans and 1 hour battery life. You can't just stick a i7 and quadcore GPU in a tablet. Your iPad is go

I don't understand why people compare tablets and phones to console. It's like you have never played a console game before. Console gaming is about big screens, epic scenery. people having fun together. xbox is turning into the living room

I disagree with the 2nd paragraph. Amazon is not a SV company but the are loved by SV. I think the problem goes waayy back to the original ideological differences of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. However one thing that might make SV loyalists

You heavily under estimate the network effect. If that was true, terrible sites like eBay and Craigslist would have been replaced a long, long time ago. specially ebay which is hated among even it's most loyal sellers refuse to leave ebay,

Skype and Facebook are very close to each other. Skype powers Facebook video chat and you can use FB in the Skype client. Also Skype is owned by Microsoft, arguably Facebook's biggest ally.

Yes I agree. There are 2 big problems with education. 1) The society requires you to have a degree. A self taught programmer will likley get paid less than a college educated programmer. Even though the self taught one is more skilled. 2) C
