alexleiphart:
I’ve never been satisfied with a to do app, whether it be on my iPhone, iPad, or Mac. What I’ve discovered the problem to be with all of them is the fact that they require regular maintenance and thought. It often reaches the point where tending to my to do list becomes another item on my to do list.
For instance, take Things–one of the more popular prosumer to do apps. In...

Google- →
It turns out Google is a virtual ghost town compared with the site of rival Facebook Inc., which is preparing for a massive initial public offering. New data from research firm comScore Inc. shows that Google users are signing up—but then not doing much there.
Visitors using personal computers spent an average of about three minutes a month on Google between last September and January,...

Patrick LenzL Where Clear Fits In →

Microsoft Office for iPad and the iPad 3 keynote →
An interesting theory over at The Loop. Although I’ve come to loath Microsoft Office many people still live and die by the software. It will be a huge win for Microsoft if they release it.

Sarah Lacy talking about Google+ on PandoDaily:
We simply don’t need another social network, no matter how great your circles are or how badly Larry Page wants to have one.
Agreed. The problem, which Google really, truly does not seem to understand is that at the end of the day, they’re solving a problem which has already been solved. They may think it hasn’t, but it has.
