What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
With the new Activation Lock feature in #iOS7, there is no point in stealing any #iPhone now. You just can’t resell it at all.
#Android will continue to dominate the market as consumers will continue to be more sensitive to price than quality.
UK Office of Fair Trading’s report on Children’s Online Games, the principles can be good for all games. http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/consumer-enforcement/oft1506.pdf
If you think the new #Google home page look for your #Chrome is annoying, select another search engine in settings and it goes away! Nice!
On the topic of #DoNoEvil, #Google forked open source projects like #Webkit and #MySQL, it’s not just about being open, it’s about control.
#Google has finally put their home page directly on #Chrome. Do no evil? It is the only browser I am not allowed to set my home page. Evil!
#KindleFire will continue to remind us how fragmented #Android can be. Great device, cheap price, will have many users. Bad for #Google.
#Microsoft bought #Nokia for 7.2 billion, now 4.7 billion for #Blackberry to go private looks very expensive.
#Pandora’s current CEO is from #Microsoft. Do not be surprised if we see another acquisition like what happened with #Nokia.
It has been a long time since a tech giant revised their quarterly estimates up. Well done #Apple!
#iTunesRadio 11m active users in less than a week, #Pandora 72m after 6 years. Who will step in to buy Pandora? #Microsoft or #Google?
Adding a Power Cover Keyboard to claim a double battery life for #Surface2 is kind of cheating. Just like bringing my power adapter.
