The New Gmail Compose Window: I Like It

Vimeo, Circa, Instapaper All Look Good

But she does not have the money for Pinterest. She gave it away.

I am not that sure about Quora. It might be too expensive.

Vimeo would be a must in my book, and Circa would be a great foray into mobile.

I don't think Path is for sale.

Flipboard and Circa are both interesting. News is a major consumption item on mobile, just like on the web.
"Search is a core daily habit for all of us and a fundamental user behavior, the top priority for Yahoo," she said. "We'll focus on reshaping Search, driving smart distribution deals and making organic investments to grow our market share. There's a clear upside potential here, and it's time now to execute against it...... Mayer will likely be courting search start-ups that can beef up Yahoo's algorithmic chops in the ad-tech space."
When Mayer takes on Page on search, sparks will fly.

She has a better chance of competing with Google in the ad space than search. A number two position in search is pretty good too.

I am not familiar with Criteo, but if it is like Google AdWords, that would be swell.

Apple: Challenged

Nexus 4 At $299: Really?

$299 competes with $600, handsomely so. For the longest time I have wondered, if Android is free, why are Android phones the same price as iPhones?

Nexus 4

Now only if the Nexus 4 could show up on MetroPCS and Republic Wireless.
