I understand what you're saying, but I don't think Google would do much of anything to tie the Ouya to its 'corporate behemoth' mission. Besides, I believe that Google's immense power could improve Ouya's standing by backing it thoroughly.
Very impressive! If I were Google, I'd buy the company immediately. With Google's backing, they could go into production with more speed, maybe even using the Nexus Q's USA-based manufacturer. I think once they've release the first Ouya, Google should start working on putting in more Google TV and Nexus Q features.
It seems to me that Mayer is just trying to create her own Google. The issue here is that while it's all well and good to improve email and search, and that should be done, there are much more important things to be done. Reinvigorating Flickr and focussing on giving the little talent that remains there latitude to make great things should be higher on the list.
In my mind, Yahoo has lost already. It's in the bin with Myspace and Aol. So I don't think that Mayer can pull it out of there by refreshing Yahoo Mail and search. But let's see what she can do.
Seems more like an elitest social network than anything. That might not be such a terrible thing- after all, Facebook started out only allowing people with .edu email addresses. Metafilter now charges a one-time fee of $5. I'll be interested to see what happens with App.net.
I'd agree. The problem with most of America is that it's a prudish culture which shies away from real discussion of sexuality. Health class still champions abstinence, and only a spare few adults will actually talk with children about sexuality. (Namely, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBXl3QWT3LU)
The thing is, homosexuals can be attracted to heterosexuals. For instance, there's a large section of porn for gay men dedicated to displaying straight men in sexual situations, usually with other men. (Source: http://www.amazon.com/Billion-Wicked-Thoughts-Largest-Experi...)
