Anyone want to bet on how long will #GoogleDuo be around for? #Google, why can't you just buy #Snapchat already? https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2016/08/meet-google-duo-simple-1-to-1-video.html
#Cisco to cut 14000 staff, about 20% and shift towards software. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-cisco-systems-layoffs-idUSKCN10S05D
Nice! #Apple bought this a year ago. Mobile can't easily have bigger lens, but more lenses. http://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-buys-israeli-camera-technology-company-linx-1429037790 https://x.com/TheNextWeb/status/764710971617271809
By 2040, 35% of all vehicles sold will be electric. Is that too late? 24 years to go and not even half the market? https://x.com/wef/status/764710662069166080
Tom Cruise did it in #MissionImpossible 4. Now you can too with #LG vacuum cleaners. I am so getting one for my mum! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOGgizbOdVM
Start saying goodbye to #Flash content. #Adobe bought #Macromedia for $3.4bn 11 yrs ago. #Apple helped to kill it. https://chrome.googleblog.com/2016/08/flash-and-chrome.html
Clever and evil marketing from #Google, it makes running out of space seems like an #iOS only issue. We know better! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEK37MBTUPk
800 #Apple engineers are working hard to extend its lead on having most widely used camera. https://www.flickr.com/cameras https://x.com/CNET/status/762589170862792704
It won't be easy, but #Yahoo! can still grow with Verizon. AOL is still around after being bought by Verizon in 2015 https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-marissa-mayer-interview-issue/
The Official #Olympics app sucks. Make sure you download the Official #RioOlympics2016 app instead. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rio-2016/id808228096?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

#1Password trying again on what #Xmarks and #LastPass already tried and failed. Will #LogMeIn snap them up as well? http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/03/1password-2-99month-plan/
#GoogleGlass was ahead of its time. Most new tech needs a killer app to drive adoption. Forget medical use,etc. If only they had #PokemonGO!
#Samsung spent 5 years to make Iris scanner, but will it be hacked? Will it work with coloured contact lenses too? https://www.wired.com/2012/07/reverse-engineering-iris-scans/
#Apple & #Beats aren't known for making low quality products. If they choose to go all-in on wireless, just follow. http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/07/28/bluetooth-headphone-sales-surpass-others-for-first-time-with-apples-beats-in-top-spot
Is it really that hard for #Samsung to imagine a phone without the 50+ years old 3.5mm audio jack? #Beats might know a little about this.
Is there such thing as a Microsoft Word-Killer? #MicrosoftOffice is alive and well. Should have bought #Evernote! http://fortune.com/2016/08/01/salesforce-quip/?xid=soc_socialflow_twitter_FORTUNE

#Yahoo! and #AOL together at last. I hope Verizon will keep #Flickr, Yahoo Weather and Yahoo Mail. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/25/business/yahoo-sale.html
Somehow, when I think of #ARM, I think of #BBCMicro with Jock bit by bit human "scanning" our school logo into it. @jockbu
Every now and then, we ask this again. Is #RISC or #CISC winning? Trivia: #ARM - Advanced RISC Machines, originally Acorn RISC Machines.
If it wasn't for all the regulatory issues, #Intel would have made the move on #ARM. Will it end up in Chinese hands like #Supercell?
