When YouTube is TheirTube
CNN hosted a YouTube debate for GOP presidential candidates this week. I’ve not paid much attention to any of the debates, from either party, YouTube or otherwise, given that so little is revealed given the constraints of the debate format.

Just Stop Digging….
Sometimes I wonder why corporate chiefs just don’t state the obvious when it is in fact obvious… as opposed to trying to spin it. Paula Wagner, of United Artists, said this about the studios first major film, Lions for Lambs:
“Wagner said that “Lions” represents everything that the revitalized UA stands for, and that [...]
Google Group Chat
Group chat has been added to GTalk , nice. It would be really useful to embed this in Google Groups for a persistent chat room function.
Facebook Foodfight
“I’m seated in a good spot, between Jeff Nolan and David Spark. Spitting distance opposite me is Dave McClure, another favorite of mine.

OLPC Stumbles Badly

Having said that, if [...]
Microsoft’s BFD
Hey, it’s their description of the offer.
I am disappointed that we’re almost 2 years from the date that Apple first started shipping Intel chips in their computers and Microsoft has yet to come out with a universal binary version of Office; opting instead to roll the Intel compatible version with a big feature upgrade. How [...]
