LinkedIn’s Devolution?
LI’s decision to drop their age-requirement from 18 to 13 is bound to cause an uproar. Leaving how paramount it is to protect children aside (if that’s even possible) while there are indeed aspiring business / entrepreneurial professionals, etc. (under … Continue reading
Questionable…
Unless the collective brain-trust (does this include and/or exclude Ballmer?) knows something that the overall market does not (i.e., consumers who have thus far essentially rejected the Microsoft-Nokia alliance) the rumors of a Windows-based, Samsung handset make little sense. (Source) … Continue reading
With ‘Friends’ Like That…
Going right to the source, i.e., posting to Mark Z’s Wall is certainly one way to get Facebook’s attention (especially, when they’re essentially ignoring a security issue and the person that’s raising it, etc.) (Source) CNET: http://goo.gl/9BLFZ1

Buying Direct.
ZTE’s new Smartphone built on Mozilla’s Firefox (the latest entrant into an ever-crowded field) will be sold direct-to-consumer via eBay. Let’s see if said tactic proves fruitful (aside from whether this handset will be a success). (Source) BBC: http://goo.gl/cPU6fP
Up Next.
The Apple rumor-mill has begun in earnest regarding the supposed (upcoming) debut of the iPhone 5S next month… given the post-Jobs slide the firm has experienced (under Captain Hook) this period could prove to cement his legacy (positively or negatively) … Continue reading
