Google si-a delistat intentionat competitorii
20 martie '15Pentru ca pot:
Google would “automatically boost” its own sites for certain specialized searches that otherwise would favor rivals, the FTC found. If a comparison-shopping site was supposed to rank highly, Google Shopping was placed above it. When Yelp was deemed relevant to a user’s search query, Google Local would pop up on top of the results page, the staff wrote.
De aici.
Apple vs Elvetia
11 martie '1528.6 milioane de ceasuri a exportat Elvetia anul trecut. Valoarea totala = undeva spre 40 miliarde USD.
Cele mai optimiste prognoze vorbesc de 20-30 milioane de iWatch-uri vandute de Apple in primul an de la lansare.
Haters
10 martie '15The design is great; the user experience seems so very meh. This is not an aid to living. It is a supercomplication.
Most of this is not Apple’s fault. Watches are great to glance at for a second — Apple has done well to call its brief notifications Glances — but rather annoying to hold to your face for longer. Your wrist gets tired. The screen is tiny. Your phone is beckoning, and it’s right there in your pocket.
Peering at your watch is not cool; culturally, it signifies that you are bored and restless with where you are, and are wondering whether it’s time to go. Talking into your watch is certainly not cool. If someone forced me to use this thing, I’m sure I would find myself unstrapping it from my wrist most of the time, which defeats the purpose.

10 martie '15A brief note on our company
Gigaom recently became unable to pay its creditors in full at this time. As a result, the company is working with its creditors that have rights to all of the company’s assets as their collateral. All operations have ceased. We do not know at this time what the lenders intend to do with the assets or if there will be any future operations using those assets. The company does not currently intend to file bankruptcy. We would like to take a moment and thank our readers and our community for supporting us all along.

We should be thanking Apple for launching the $10,000 "apple watch" as the new gold standard in douchebag detection.
