~100 years since self-winding mechanical watches. ~30 years since automatic quartz watches. Casio ones last for years. Smartwatches can't?
#Apple bashing journalists claim #Beats headphones are sub-par. Fact: 64% of $100+ headphones market, $1.5B revenue and growing. What's par?
Google paid $3.2B in cash for #Nest & Fadell. $3B for #Beats, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre is a much better deal. Well done #Apple!
Do we need an analyst to tell us that #TouchID will be used widely by #Apple? They spent $350m on it and they will use it everywhere!
#Microsoft, please focus on quality. #OneDrive sync taking up 4.73GB of RAM to sync just 1.3MB of changes, reminds me why you are losing!
Analysts, what do they know? When was last time #Apple made a bad purchase? This might be a music industry changing move! Just like iTunes.
#Whatsapp's 450m active monthly users all over the world was priced at $19b, how should we value #Wechat's 355m users mainly in China only?
Can #HDAudio really save iTunes? Or is it just about price now? #Apple did it with appstore and drove software price down, how about music?
@FHTechTeam Mike, whilst my tweet was more of a rant, I am hoping to raise awareness to the fact that security is extremely important.
@Fasthosts tech support just replied that un-secure FTP is the only way and "has always been the case". They were hacked and won't learn!
@Fasthosts still limit some users to only use old FTP which sends usernames + passwords in plain text on the open internet. This is stupid!
General public are not confused about #privacy issues with online services, free or not. It is just a good headline to beat down #Microsoft.
How can #Evernote fight off #Microsoft #OneNote? It is basically Microsoft Word "Lite" as a Office trojan to all platforms.
#Microsoft to release Office for #iPad. Too late and wrong strategy. They should have released it 4 years ago and it should be #Freemium!
Sounds good to say privacy is in their DNA, etc, but I can't see how being "adopted" by Facebook will ensure no change whatsoever. #WhatsApp
Of course he is going to say that privacy is the most important and it will not change. Until it changes! #Whatsapp http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26624282
Lack of status indicator on #iCloud file sharing is annoying. Apple should learn from Box, OneDrive, etc and stop assuming a perfect world.
Xeros Cleaning, washing clothes with polymer beads instead of water. Interesting technology. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf3JgesMe9Y
#CarPlay is a major feature release for Apple. How many Android docking kits have you seen for cars?
If #Facebook fully integrate #Whatsapp into its platform, they might get blocked by China.
Which one is a better deal? $16B for Whatsapp or $8.5B for Skype? #Facebook keeps buying big user pools at high premium. Remember Instagram?
To me, at this stage anyway, #Bitcoin is less important as a currency, but much more significant as a distributed digital trust system.
#Bitcoin's volatility shows just how new the technology is. But fast forward 10 years, can probably reduce banking sector headcount by 90%!
Now think again on what will happen to #Nest. They will just keep #TonyFadell and get rid of everything else.
#Moto is the best illustration of why you can't trust #Google or #LarryPage. It is hard to imagine they didn't plan this all along!
#Lenovo is having a Happy Chinese New Year! Nearly a 10 Billion discount on getting #Moto.
#Google cross license with #Samsung, strategic protection of Android ecosystem, but is it fair to other partners? Can others do the same?
#Google didn't buy #Nest. They wanted and bought #TonyFadell. #Motorola and ex-Darpa-chief could have built any thermostat for $3.2 billion.
#Nest users are smart enough to know that #TonyFadell can't promise your privacy. He doesn't own the company anymore! Trust #Google, or not.
It is hard to say if #Chromebook is a real threat to #Microsoft. It can still be a fad like #Netbook which was around for less than 5 years.
