Surface & iPad Collision Course

Surface & iPad Collision Course

By Adron Hall on November 19, 2012

Ok, I’d been looking around for a Surface I could try out. Even though I have my doubts about Windows 8 and especially RT I also am excited about a lot of the features that these operating system(s) have. But amid the parts that I hate and parts I hate, there is the simple fact […]

Has Apple Peaked?

Has Apple Peaked?

By Zoli Erdos on September 25, 2012

You probably think I am out of my mind – well … hm… no comment.  But yes I agree it’s close to madness  to discuss Apple’s decline right on the heels of a record-breaking iPhone 5 launch and a stock price that despite some correction is still a rocketship.  But bear with me for a […]

Best Buy Smarter than the Apple Store

Best Buy Smarter than the Apple Store

By Zoli Erdos on May 26, 2010

“There is an App for that” – is the mantra nowadays, and I really hoped for one,  to solve the major task of telling me where I can buy an iPad.  Anywhere, in any physical store along my long drive from San Francisco to Pleasanton. In the real-time, always-on age it should not be a […]

Google Maps Experiment with Hotel Prices – Just Remember to Check In

Google Maps Experiment with Hotel Prices – Just Remember to Check In

By Zoli Erdos on March 23, 2010

How many times were you looking for the right hotel at the right price, close enough to your conference, customer or just a particular location? Finding the right one typically includes juggling multiple sites – hotel search, price comparisons, many with teaser prices that turn out to be unavailable, maps, reservation systems…etc.   Not for long, […]

Google Buzz is Going after FourSquare and Gowalla! (Pics)

Google Buzz is Going after FourSquare and Gowalla! (Pics)

By Mark Fidelman on February 21, 2010

Further evidence that Buzz is going into the geo-targeting business.  For the first time, I was asked to make a recommendation about a location I was visiting.  I’d Buzz’d from here in the past but this was the first time I’d been asked directly.  Next step towards killing FourSquare and Gowalla are to add social […]

Resistance is Futile: Google is Unstoppable

Resistance is Futile: Google is Unstoppable

By Zoli Erdos on February 11, 2009

Two seemingly unrelated items: Today Hitwise reported on how Google Maps is catching up on Mapquest, which once was the king of online mapping.   Perhaps more important than just the numbers is the source of traffic:  61% of Google Maps traffic comes from links placed in organic Google Search results.  Contrast that to Mapquest, […]
