“Nearly 32% of US households only have cellphones, double the percentage from ‘08.”

- This is about what I would have expected. But it’s a tremendous shift for cable companies and telco who can’t really offer triple play anymore because it’s not valuable.

“The best software has a vision. The best software takes sides. When someone uses software, they’re not just looking for features, they’re looking for an approach. They’re looking for a vision. Decide what your vision is and run with it.”

25% of my LinkedIn contacts changed titles or jobs in 2011. Great email idea from LinkedIn. I clicked at least 15 times. I wish they had this on the home page. Profile images are much more engaging than the daily text digest.

Amazon's Silk is a backdoor attack on Google

Google’s whole play of promoting Android in order to aggregate user behavior patterns to sell to advertisers is completely subverted by Amazon’s intermediation.
