Short note on a few changes I've made lately ... For those who syndicate my blog, I changed the look .. got bored of that Apple ish look and installed a much cleaner one. I also wanted to improve the reading experience a

Simple and effective use of retail space

Anyone with a degree in statistics and probability could identify how Facebook trading will open tomorrow?

The infographic below was designed by Sortable. It shares the latest Apple profits, revenues and cash in hand, along with the company’s reach - 30% of smartphone users in the U.S. have an iPhone. Along with an impressive iPad market share (62%) and an astounding number of employees (over 30,000), don’t forget one of Apple’s most valuable properties - the App Store. You’ll currently find 600,000 apps and counting in the store, and 895 new apps are added every day.

Old school flashback! Google couldn’t wait for April Fools’ Day to prank the web with its 8 bit version of Google Maps, temporarily replacing its standard version. Not as good or real as the Google Chrome Multitask Mode,

Google again at the edge of innovation how come no one ever thought of this before? I just tried it out, and I think this increases my performance by 100% should I get a raise? <iframe width="600" height="305" src="http:

Google officially rolled out its Google Wallet mobile payment system Monday. Is still in its infancy, but the system already shows a lot of promise. It uses a technology called NFC (Near Field Communication) to securely send your payments digitally. The only phone in the US that supports NFC is the Google Nexus S, available with t mobile and Sprint, and there are high hopes that the iPhone 5 will support it too. Right now, Google Wallet only works with Citi Mastercards and the Google Prepaid Card. Visa and Google announced a worldwide agreement to support the Visa payWave app, but it will still be up to the financial institutions and banks to add support.

Pretty funny Google+ videos showing how it has no immediate competitive advantage ... initial reaction is "do we really need another social network"? in this video it shows that if you dig down, the usability is actually quite nice ... but people would have to give it a chance first, and as you can see in this infographic: they don't.

Why did we need, another social network? Doesn't Facebook work alright? A new thing for me to learn This could take all night, Look out! What is this google + I don't Need google + There's another +1 and another +1 What is this google + Hey, Why's this red thing here? Go away google + You want me to put my friends in circles But circles are for squares Everday's like Sophie's choice Trying to choose which friend goes where But No Parents, or Ex boyfriends... Can get in without invites And when I drunkenly post that he's cute I can edit it later that night whoa I kinda like google + Can't believe I'm on google + Oh another hangout, and another hang out I dig my google + Hey, old high school friend You can't join my google + Friends add me, without me adding them That feature's really nice Randos Uglies my pot dealer and all these friend's I've never liked No one knows, my circle names, So even good friend's get handpicked Do you make it into my main feed or do I add you to my circle of pricks I'm in love with google plus I'm judgemental on goggle + and Another douchebag and another loser You didn't make my google plus Hey, Now I'm a facist pig Thank you google plus! </div

Google+ now finally open to the public "might" make me change my perception. Google+ (plus) launched early July on an invite only basis, which seems to have heavily skewed towards a geeky male US based audience. At the moment, Google+ really has nothing to offer in the social end ... yes, the way you organize friends is better (IMO) than Facebook, and ... ... ... well, that's it ... You might have heard me claim that it will compete against iCloud in the quest to conquer your hard data (photos, videos, music, files) but that's another post on its own. The first Google+ infographic was released an the numbers pretty much confirm it: 26 million users, 100% of which work in software engineering, web development, advertising, or related careers. Should be interesting to watch it shift (or not) now that Google+ is open to the public.

Buzz words come and go faster than bad news, another year went by and now it's all about Apple iCloud, Google+, mobile payments, cloud computing, NFC, IPTV everything is moving so fast, it's exciting, we want to be part
