Still a lesson here in running lean. Unfortunately most of the time when you get certain kinds of funding they cant wait to blow the place out full of desks for the dog and pony show that "something" is happening!
I think it's satire-esque.
I think sitting like that is for people who dont really "work" - or maybe I am mad because I invested in a 2k stand up desk only to be sent thousands of miles away on a job.
Plus I feel like sitting like that would fill the office with farts and stuff.
The article is whatever - Being in the handset market is a business google doesn't want to be in short term or long term.
I argue that they are moving toward the connected aware home and devices that will make handsets obsolete - as well as the cost of dealing with the new radios that will come into play in hardware when GSM is decommissioned across the united states.
Then global export issues across handsets is a whole other thing.
I would like a return of ghetto blasters. Those things are cool and I have one wired up to an ipad cut into it to play tunes.
I have a google glass too and I don't wear it so much in public. You can't really see it with a hat - probably mounted in real glasses and long hair or a hat is best.
I'd hold up for the contacts over the eyes, this is sort of a half step that will be great proving ground - but ultimately too invasive into life - like at a partttty!
I dont think anything has happened yet to trigger a bootcamp incident of people getting beat out of their life savings to learn how to code FORTRAN for CGI apps on gopher where anything needs to be regulated.
Point me to some of these scams, I'd say yes - it's gone the way of Devry Institute - although like anything a fool and his money is soon parted and if you really want to learn, you'll do it at a bootcamp, and a bad college or on your own impetus regardless of cash outlay.
GSM is over by 2017/2018 for carriers stateside. Where will the patents for these topologies and compression schemes be then? That is proverbially around the corner corporately.
I would wager that it means a ton of these patents arent useful anymore.. the stuff coming out of google X will pretty much make these old patents kinda uselesss.
Even the very nature of the cell phone is rapidly changing and Google Glass is a useless halfstep with contacts coming right around the corner which will be the real hardware killer.
Patch was kinda rocking at first for me - especially when I was over in Broooklyn. It was showing up in my feeds or when i went searching for stories in some states.
Then AOL got them and suddenly I saw no posts from The Patch on my feeds - for like all of 2013.
So they can cash out
