Another Fun Data Point
When Apple’s market cap hits $400 billion, they’ll be worth more than Microsoft and Google — combined.
They’re now less than $20 billion away from that happening.
Big numbers.

Rope-A-Dope, Indeed
Sometimes you want so badly to say “I told you so!” after months of getting kicked in the ass, that you do so without really looking into what you’re writing about. Or even thinking, really.
Such is the predicament Dan Lyons finds himself in today.
The artist formerly known as Fake Steve Jobs wrote the following this morning immediately after hearing about Google buying Motorola:
Awesome.

Google TV’s TV Integration
If you don’t have Dish Network, your experience will be far less integrated — typing “Modern Family” into the Google TV search box will bring up future program listings and web results for the show, but won’t show you that you have a local recording sitting right there on your DVR. You also won’t be able to schedule recordings — selecting a future episode of a show brings up a box instructing you to… program your DVR! It’s an extremely disjointed experience, to say the least.
I see Google TV as more of a proof of concept for cable providers. Until the cable/satellite companies start integrating the Google TV technology directly into their set top boxes, the experience (of TV/DVR integration) will continue to be spotty as Google keeps trying to catch up with new hardware.
