AT&T has launched Aio Wireless, a new data-centric, pre-paid brand aimed at the no-contract market recently marked out by T-Mobile USA.
The business is launching in the three US cities of Houston, Orlando and Tampa, before rolling out more widely over the next year. Aio will open stores under its own brand.

Interesting to see Google adding some of the enterprise capabilities to Chrome OS. I can understand the kiosk value proposition much more than the home laptop replacement one. Not clear me why I need this OS in my home. I have two that work well enough at about the same prie point.
Google Now for iOS is finally here. No surprise, it’s well done and lovely. But why no Push Notifications?
Exactly. Huge letdown. Not as useful with the push notifications.
There are millions of people who believe that evil lies at the core of humanity. I don’t think so. To me, it’s simple math. It’s an equation that was caught on tape at the Boston Marathon finish line. All you have to do is take the number of people who rushed into a dangerous situation in order to help save the lives of strangers and subtract the number of people responsible for that situation. There’s your winner.

I don’t blame the platform. They have to constantly adapt their strategy and if you’re going to bet on them, expect the worst all the time, that way you won’t be disappointed. Always wonder if you’re getting in your partner’s way of monetization.
The influence of Kidd, one of the greatest passers in N.B.A. history, has been profound, according to people with ties to several players. When Kidd speaks, Anthony listens.
You can feel this when you watch the Knicks. Prig and Felton too. Surrounding Melo with players who pass the ball has been a big part of the Knicks success this season

Commodity based, e.g. Gold
Politically based, e.g. Dollar
Math based, e.g. Bitcoin
Path Founder: ““I have two iPhones, one for day and one for the night. When the day phone runs out, the night phone takes over. I never have to worry.” One way to solve the battery life issue.
So how long before Google shuts this one down? The problem with killing off their “under used” apps is people are less likely to get attached to new services for fear they will disappear like Reader.
Stated a bit more clearly: Samsung makes more money off of Android than Google makes from all of their businesses combined.
This simply does not seem like a tenable situation.
Who is in the driver seat of Android? Samsung or Google
