POPS US teens "starring in their own Reality TV shows"

by adamc 12-8-2006

Lifecaching, here we come. We're really moving towards a point where everything you do is "produced" for distribution to your own customized network.

POPS 10 Worst Internet Acquisitions Ever

by adamc 11-22-2006

Ever heard of "MySimon"? CNET paid $700 million for it in '99. What about the online greeting card site "BlueMountain.com"? Excite@Home paid $780 million for it. So many billions of dollars down the drain.

POPS Google Shares Climb Above $500!

by adamc 11-21-2006

I'd have to save up just to buy one share!

POPS Will Yahoo buy AOL? Sell to Microsoft? Merge with eBay?

by adamc 10-30-2006

I just can't imagine either of those first two options.

POPS Microsoft and Facebook sign exclusive ad deal

by adamc 8-23-2006

They rushed to get this done after the blockbuster MySpace-Google deal a couple of weeks ago. Unlikely to be as lucrative as that, but Facebook is definitely a solid network with a natural base of incoming users.

POPS MSN and Yahoo to make IM clients interoperable

by adamc 7-13-2006

Anything to try to take on the monster that is AIM.

POPS Next from Microsoft... "Reailty Acquisition Devices"

by adamc 5-31-2006

A bit confusing at first thought, but I can see where he's coming from. I also like the idea of "life caching" -- in a few years it will be possibly to record almost every moment of your life with your mobile device.

POPS Microsoft and Google Grapple for Supremacy

by adamc 5-10-2006

Interesting piece comparing the Microsoft-Google war to past battles in different markets. People really are of the greatest value -- fluid collaboration between the right people is more powerful than anything.

POPS The fight over the search box default in IE7 intensifies

by adamc 5-1-2006

This is a big one -- if 80% of users are suddenly given a search box at the top right of their browser and their searches default to MSN, that could change the search-ad business on its head. Sure it will be easy to change, but a majority of people won't get around to it.

POPS ETech 2006: The buzz is all about Clipboard (Microsoft's version, that is)

by adamc 3-7-2006

I missed Ozzie's presentation (was flying in at the time) but all the talk has been about his "Clipboard" demo. Seems to be a big focus on web-PC integration. Going to have to learn more to see how it relates to the Clipmarks experience.

POPS Napster head faults Microsoft for Apple's continued dominance

by adamc 3-2-2006

"the competitive landscape would be far different 'in the next 12 to 24 months.'" Wanna bet?

POPS Microsoft: Our engine better than Google soon

by adamc 3-1-2006

Most interesting here is Holloway's statement that Microsoft's goal "would go beyond finding URLs and instead focus in on the specific information sought by Internet users." Starting to sound a lot like Clipmarks.

POPS Web Browser for the Nintendo DS

by adamc 2-16-2006

While Sony and Microsoft have been leading the console charge, Nintendo have been quietly (well, relative to the others) building out a powerful gaming-media-web platform. Keep an eye on their WiFi network (e.g. they just inked a deal with McDonalds).

POPS US search companies aiding and abetting Chinese propaganda machine

by adamc 2-15-2006

Harsh words, lets see is Capitol Hill is serious enough to alter the policies of US search firms.

POPS Windows Vista Sidebar feature

by adamc 2-2-2006

Apparently users will be able to view photos, RSS feeds or small apps called gadgets.

POPS Apple's iWork now #2 to Microsoft Office

by adamc 1-23-2006

Funny CNET's article title has iWork emerging as a "rival" to Office. Not sure a 2.7 percent market share is grounds to be considered a rival. That said, I bought iWork last year and Keynote is my favorite program of all time. It's an incredibly intuitive tool for graphical prototyping.
