Patrick McKenzie (founder of Bingo Card Creator) great advices about running a side-business effectively, finding your niche and making the most of your time.

Palm is about to die. Their stock price went down by 30% yesterday; analysts are now talking about a price target of $0. I think they had a solid product but they made too many mistakes when they couldn’t afford any.

I’m pretty sure Apple, Google and Microsoft are making lots of mobile manufacturers really, really nervous.

Great debate, two different point of view: running a startup vs. running a business. A must watch!

An amazing story told by Tandy Trower.

People are saying it’s a hoax but if it’s not, it’s amazing.

After having spent one week with a Nexus One myself, Jeff Lamarche is right on every single point,

Overall, it’s just a general lack of attention to detail that defines the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One, and that lack of attention to detail exists on both the hardware and software side. The Nexus One isn’t a bad phone by any stretch of the imagination. Had it come out three years ago, it would have been revolutionary. But you do have to train yourself to Android’s idiosyncrasies much more so than the iPhone. If you’ve never owned or used an iPhone, you’ll probably find the Nexus One to be a very adequate device and will assume that the minor annoyances are just part of owning a smart phone. If you’ve owned an iPhone for any length of time, you’ll likely feel, as I do, that it’s a rather half-baked device with some good ideas but generally weak execution.

Google is a big clunky Microsoft-like company with strategy taxes, and they don’t trust the web or developers, or each other, and their internal politics drive most of the decisions they make. To compete with Twitter is an easy sell inside Google, but to actually have the will to be cut-throat about it, that’s another thing. It’ll probably have to pay homage to Google Wave (remember that?) and therefore will have some elements that are completely incomprehensible. Twitter likely won’t get killed, because Google’s product will likely fall far-short of what’s needed to get us all to think they can be trusted.

Not surprising why they keep focusing on the platform.

Apple just posted the keynote video. I’m gonna watch it. I first got the news from a live feed but nothing comes close to watching Steve Jobs doing the pitch of its new product.
