@MochiBits true that! hoping competitors like Azure and Google Compute Engine ramp up.
So Instagram, Pinterest, Heroku, Netflix went down from Amazon EC2 failures. I thought “the Cloud” was supposed to be robust/resilient?
what the heck, there are 5 minute YouTube ads now? Who is going to sit through that?

USD299 is a little too much for Nexus Q, I think. And I would prefer to stream from devices, not the cloud. (crappy PH networks) #io12
With the size/form factor, price point, and focus on Google Play content, the Nexus 7 seems to target the Fire more than the iPad. #io12
Device-specific App Encryption for paid apps. #io12 That’s an interesting approach to curbing piracy, but decryption still happens on-device
stroughtonsmith Where Siri is an AI, Google Now just creepily knows everything about you, what you do, and what you like. Um. #io12
Google Now in 4.1 — It’s Big Brother + Skynet, all in one! (but at least it seems really convenient.)
Quite the competitor, really. RT @tomslominski: Are they Sirious? #io12

Siri is cool, but Microsoft is providing a developer API for conversations with 3rd-party apps. Verb-based and no “AI”, though. #wpsummit
Oh cool, the new Windows Phone 8 emulator is based on Hyper-V. Shared core and all that. #wpsummit
chpwn Wow, compiling .NET to native code on their servers? That’s an interesting idea.
I think NFC is a much better approach to “real-life data + links” than QR codes. Hoping for broader adoption #wpsummit
