Patrick LenzL Where Clear Fits In :

What I found, however, is that because of the sheer speed of using Clear it’s perfectly usable as a pure list-making tool to complement the full-blown OmniFocus experience.

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.

The TechBlock: Olloclip vs iPro Lens Review:

While I am a fan of the Olloclip, because of its caseless design, this is a very good review of two nice products.

thenextweb:

Storify for iPad is a great first step towards expanding the service outwards from its niche service position and it’s a highly polished first effort. Whether you’re creating stories around tech news or your favorite foods, Storify wants to be your tool. It will be interesting to see if this effort pays off in the long run, but even this initial stage of the plan it’s well worth trying out. (via Storify Launches a Slick and Friendly iPad App)

Friday Night Heights

Friday Night Heights:

$60M high school football stadium is over the top, even for Texas

I am really into the TV show, Friday Night Lights (via Netflix) and this article seems like it is ripped out of a script.

Suite anticipation: Microsoft Office for iPad expected in coming weeks.:

Although I have grown a strong distaste for Office over the past year, I think this will be great for the iOS community. Especially all of us who work with iPad’s in regular offices.

parislemon:

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.

It’s the same problem Bing faces in search against Google. It’s a fine product, but in order to get people to use it, it has to be far better than the incumbent. Bing isn’t, so it will never beat Google (despite Google’s best efforts to back that thang up). Google+ isn’t, so it will never beat Facebook (or Twitter, for that matter).

But Google is trying to cheat this system. By shoving Google+ in our faces, they think that they can make their product catch on without the need to be above and beyond better than the incumbent.

I think we’ll see that this approach still won’t work. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter work because they evolved based on how users were naturally using them. Google+ is trying to make the users evolve to fit into the network they created. It’s unnatural.

PeteSearch: Why Facebook's data will change our world:

Everyone is on Facebook. I know, you’re not, but most organizations can treat you like someone without a phone or TV twenty years ago. The medium is so prevalent, if you’re not on it’s commercially viable to ignore you. This broad coverage also makes it possible to answer questions with the data that are impossible with other sources.

Seth's Blog: Too far from the center?:

The center has nothing to do with geography any longer. The center is a state of mind.
