Once upon a time, the Internet was an international network connecting universities. Then, it was used to connect other institutions. Finally, it hit homes and everything changed. I found this January 1994 recording from NBC’s Today Show over at Swiss Miss and it suddenly striked me: do you ... Read more
My God, Facebook is great! I never understood exactly why, but it seems the social network has become the new Google-killer and, here they come, the horsemen of internet giant’s fall, hitting with their opinions. Now, why would they think that? I’m not a Facebook heavy user, but ... Read more
I was reading this FastCompany article, I just couldn’t miss the lack of integrity in Steve Jobs‘ words. I know, it’s ironic especially because of what he’s saying.

If you’ve seen Babylon A.D., then you might have seen Google’s product placement. In the South European country Vin Diesel lives, he watches the news using a live streaming news service provided by Google. It’s like Google has it’s own TV network.
