POPSTechnology for Breakfast via @kmaverick Just checked out this eye opening story recommended by @kmaverick. Aside from reminding me that I am often guilty of the same habits noted, the theme of the article underscores a big reason why the traditional newspaper business is suffering so badly.

POPSMIT develops camera-like fabric. But... Okay, pretty cool...but why is the "dream" of brilliant inventions like this always geared towards military use? How about a jacket that can help sight impaired people to navigate around obstacles better for starters? C'mon MIT, you're better than that.

POPSGoogle buys Zingku mobile social networking service This sounds like a buy vs. build decision for Google. Unless i'm missing something Google's tech team working with mobile developers surely could have created this piece of technology; perhaps the development time would have been too long for their liking? Either that, or a patent issue? Regardless, not sure that Zingku's service could have made it as a stand alone community, but as a piece of the total mobile package to come, it makes a lot of sense for Google...and of course, for Zingku ;)
