A week without Google? →
I wish the author had come to a better conclusion. Though it’s surprising to see someone who is so attached to searching.
Apple's Hold On Hollywood →
parislemon:
Yet another subtle, but important advantage Apple has over competitors: their products are all over popular television shows and films — and Apple doesn’t pay a dime for such placement. The creative talent uses them because, well, they use them.
I mean, did you see Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol? It’s one big iAd — but again, not paid for by Apple. (Though Pixar alum Brad Bird...

Yes… Zooey Deschenel ruined rain more than I already hated rain before. :(

The strange saga of Sarah Phillips, who went from message board commenter to ESPN gambling columnist and hid her identity from editors, scamming many of the people she met along the way.

Koblin on sports: incredible, as expected.
The best part is the description Phillips gave her new website: “Think of South Park...

Josh Constine:
While Google keeps cramming its search results pages full of tools and social content, today Bing confirmed with me the full roll out a redesigned search results page that completely clears the left sidebar, and replaces the tabbed header with a cleaner set of links. Bing Facebook integration is also more subtle now, instead of plastering names and faces beneath...

Groupon CEO: Company Needs To "Grow Up," "Stop... →
I am so glad that I didn’t get the slightest itch to jump in on the Groupon IPO.
It wasn’t that there are a ton of copycats to their business model. To me, its that it is a fad. It will probably be around for quite a while, but just not as some weird and profound company that it seemed it was a couple of years ago.

Thankfully this terrible and stupid law seems to be on its way to being shot down.

parislemon:
While many people are linking to Forrester Research CEO George Colony’s “Apple = Sony” post (fine, I will too), I’ll focus on Josh Lowensohn’s breakdown of said post (which is actually longer than Colony’s post).
Lowensohn, like myself, apparently read the post and wondered what the point was. Colony wasn’t saying anything new. Nor was he diving deep into something that many people...

Facebook Says “Yo Google and Apple, HTML5 Apps... →
parislemon:
This post should have actually been titled “Why Facebook Needs To Build Their Own Phone”.
Everything I hear indicates that Facebook’s once big HTML5 dreams keep getting pushed and pushed and pushed. It’s a noble cause, but it’s also one they have to take up, since they don’t control the key platforms: iOS and Android.
All the finger-crossing hasn’t worked. And Facebook grows...
