Peleton's new bike is $2500. I'm surprised they're still going strong. The pandemic may have helped them a lot.

iPhones are still selling very well. The Apple Watch has been a massive success. People subscribe to various services. Apple identified that people owning a Watch for fitness reasons may also be interested in a fitness subscription integrat

I have said this for years: all the building blocks are here. What's missing is the integration, UX/UI polish, and of course, the resources to do so. If enough public administrations are on board with this, then this could be game

The Wall Street Journal newspaper asked Mr Hastings if he had seen any benefits from staff working from home. "No. I don't see any positives," he replied Not even a tiny bit of positive? I would be curious to know Netflix&#

I'm honestly shocked that sellers can send us emails. Like, why does Amazon share that information with sellers in the first place?

I'm not American, but when I think of America, that is what comes to my mind: the optimism of creative thinkers. The way that folks at Apple thought about computer is beautiful: they could be much more than tools for technical people.

First one is: don't believe your thoughts. Observe them with detachment, even if the thought starts with "I". Especially if the thought starts with "I". Thoughts don't define you! Don't let them capture yo

Amazon's search engine is pure garbage and for a company this size, and with their status, it's quite embarrassing. Just a quick example: I saw some nice furniture on Amazon by a brand named Rivet. Turns out this is one of their i

10 years is an eternity in tech. Even today, AMD is very competitive against Intel and I think JLG's point was that Apple's move to ARM will boost the entire ARM ecosystem significantly. Qualcomm and Nvidia won't miss a chanc

SIP is ubiquitous and works pretty well. It's probably at the core of all these video conferencing apps. You can do audio/video calls and IM with it (using SIMPLE). The problem is being able to call people beyond your SIP servers.

Microsoft, weirdly, didn't know what to do with Skype. For a company focused on productivity, that's a little strange.

To each their own. I found the keynote to be engaging and it was different from the usual same kind of presentation that we've had with Jobs for decades.

Drake reasoned that if planets like Earth orbited stars like the sun, then those worlds might be populated by civilizations advanced enough to broadcast their presence to the cosmos. His logic made sense: For the last century, Earthlings h

I think we're reaching the end of the era of app stores. Apps often are single purpose information silos. You need an app to do every little things. My guess is that eventually, we'll have an OS with a different user experience wh

Difficult question: how do you make people in power agree on a solution? Not even universities managed so far to standardize their IT infra. Most universities probably already standardized on Microsoft's ecosystem of product and solu

Windows, Office and Win Server (AD) make a combo that is quite difficult to replace. But if these cities are smart, they would pool their resources together to fund common tools. All the bits and pieces are already here. What is needed is a

In September, I wrote a post about how Howard Stern is getting ripped off by Sirius. I made the case that Howard Stern is making $90 million a year when he could be making 2-3x by cutting out the middle-man and doing a subscription podcast

Watching porn is healthy and normal. I'd say pornography has been normalized over time, but I'm not convinced it's inoffensive. I won't polarize it and say it's bad. It is what it is, but I don't know if it c

If these graphics are impressive today, imagine what will be possible in 500 years. We'll hit a point where simulated worlds will be indistinguishable from the real world. But then, if simulated worlds can reach this level of fidelity,

I think you can create an account without using Gmail as the email. For example, you could create a Google Account with joe.smith@outlook.com if you wanted to. At least, that was possible some years ago.
