• Nexus 7 Display is Bad, You Guys

    Interesting if not pretentious post on Gizmodo:

    Looks like Google didn’t pay enough attention to the Steve Jobs memo that the key to a successful Tablet is an outstanding display. If high image and picture quality is important to you, then you might want to skip the Google Nexus 7 and wait for a Tablet with a better display, or wait and see if Google can correct the problem.

    How dare you Google, making a $199 tablet with worse display than a $500 one?

    In other news: BMW is more comfortable than a Honda. Surprise, surprise.

  • Apple Continues Being Apple.

    9to5mac:

    The Company sold 26.0 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 28 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 17.0 million iPads during the quarter, an 84 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 4.0 million Macs during the quarter, a two percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 6.8 million iPods, a 10 percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter.

    The iPod continues being the abandoned older son who got outshined by his younger brother. But this is amazing number.

    And you’d expect Wall Street got excited by these numbers right? Especially now there’s dividend available in the packaging?

    No. Apple share is down, down, down. This happened still even when everybody knew Apple share is embarassingly undervalued. Well, you’ll be nuts for asking Wall Street to use some of that thing called logic.

  • More Yahoo for Loeb

    Kara Swisher at All ThingsD:

    Hedge funder Dan Loeb of Third Point has bought another 2.5 million shares of Yahoo, for about $40 million this week, bringing his total to 73 million shares, according to a regulatory filing. Loeb

    So i guess no call to Stanford from Loeb verifying Mayer’s degree then.
