i can understand her optimism, but how are they going to take market share away from google? according to google finance, google has about 20k employees bringing in 5.7B each quarter, and yahoo has about 14k employees bringing in 1.8B/quart

the other thing to keep in mind is that apple makes 30% of every app sold. they can afford to sell the phone for less price up front, if they know they can make that money back by selling apps.

my ex-roommate worked at coghead. he says the company hadn't been doing well for a while (funding issues) and him and few of the originals had been running it on their own time.

yes it is. http://investor.google.com/webcast.html listen to the '2008 Q3 Earnings Conference Call' where they talk about this. they also reveal some other very amazing details about the insides of google, like how they are protecting th

yes, if this team means that they are planning on going out and getting their own advertisers.

if google couldn't make this concept work, i'm not sure who else can. i'd like to hear why evernote has more a chance of getting somewhere with this concept than google did.

now i understand that it's very hard to develop good software (marketing software none-the-less), but could this kind of thing, in the long run, hurt the big advertisement companies?

with the economy the way it is, i think a lot of these companies are gonna have to start focusing on their own business models. google is competing very hard both on the marketing and product innovation front and is snatching away market s

what it's gonna come down to is the price of the phone. if the Pre can not compete in terms of price, it will not fair well. this is the same thing that happened to the ipod. there were a lot of competitors, who essentially had a very si

Email is not going anywhere soon, it has its place, but for sending messages to friends, social networking has already won. i think you meant to say text messaging, not social networking. go to any middle school or high school, it's all ab

i like plex more because it recognized my media much more accurately than boxee, has an indicator for a played video, and also lets me manage cover art. the one thing that boxee does well is the apple remote controls (more intuitive), but

i would think it would take more resources and battery power to constantly ping a server, rather than just run a low priority task in the background. think about it, you'd have to constantly ping the server, if a notification came in about

i think what you are saying is true.

isn't this what "open social" is all about? i mean you can't carry your karma (actually a pretty weird concept to me), but a person that chooses to associate with you, gets to see your profile, your friends, your pictures, and whatever oth

everyone keeps talking about what sun should or should not do. no one talks about how they will actually do any of it. sun is barely surviving; they don't have the money to do much.

agreed that sun needs to make some bold moves (besides changing the stock ticker from SUNW to JAVA) in order to get out of the mess they are in. the changes that the writer suggests are bold and do require a new team and a lot of capital.

i honestly think that this was mainly setup in anticipation for the yahoo-google ad deal. yahoo would've been able to bring all the yahoo games to lively with a fresh new interface. the whole idea behind lively was that you can use lively

i believe the reason hulu is able to monetize is because they know the industry well. these guys already have the contacts and the content in place. i think youtube will rise to the top eventually when the show creator realizes that s/he
