Zuckerberg: “Guess What? Nobody Wants To Make Lists.”

If you don't want friends and colleagues knowing that you are a secret leather fetishist (or whatever) at night, you should probably set-up an entirely separate profile...no risk of accidentally clicking the wrong box, or sharing with the wrong list.

Why I Turned In My iPhone and Went Android

One day every phone phone will be a smart phone, and the majority will run free and open source operating systems like Android. The only way Apple can compete in the long run is to open source their mobile OS and push i-tunes, app store and whatever other cloud offerings they can come up with.

Google Buys BumpTop: 3-D Multi-touch Tablet Interface on the Way?

I wonder if BumpTop have any patents, or if they can demonstrate “prior use” re: Apple patents. If so, may be useful to Google.
