I agree with this part of the article:
While amidst recent market turmoil its stock is down 16% from its recent high of $747 to about $629 as of Thursday, I suspect that just means now is a good time to buy.
I disagree with the rest of it though…  For example, this here is some complete non-sense:
Google has a Microsoft-like lock-in
While trying to investigate a bit into the rumor of Google buying Skype, I ran across this rather lengthy post. In there, I stumbled upon a thought which is simple and rather obvious, but which I haven’t had yet:
Google isn’t a search engine company; it brokers connections between people and corporations for profit.[…] Search is just one, albeit dominant.
Yesterday I read the Slashdot post discussing the power of TinyUrl web service to affect accessibility of web resources.  Most of today, the TinyURL web service is down. (Switching to conspiracy voice):  Coincidence?  I think not!
I’m glad to say that this blog gets more comments these days than it ever had. This is probably due to several reasons – frequent posting on my side, improved web design of the site, recent comments list on the sidebar, email notifications for replies to your comments, etc. Most of these improvements were introduced via different WordPress plugins.
Today I am adding yet another one, which will, hopefully, bring in even more comments by making the web site a little bit more personal. I’ve installed the Easy Gravatars WordPress plugin, which shows the author’s picture near the comment. Pictures are taken from the Gravatar.com web service, which was recently acquired by Automattic – the company making excellent WordPress software and running WordPress.com web service.
If you don’t have an account at Gravatar, no image will be shown near your comments. But if you do, your comments on this site, as well as on any other web site that uses Gravatar.com will become more recognizable. So, I suggest you go register and upload the image of yours – it’s really simple, straightforward, and free.
So, let’s see faces now behind all those comments…
P.S. : I mentioned avatars before on this post.
Well, nobody knows for sure yet, but Slashdot (yes, again Slashdot) links to this article which has a few quotes from Sun officials. Â Interestingly enough, it’s hard to say if Sun will support the open source platform
Jonathan Schwartz, president and CEO of Sun, wrote a blog post congratulating Google on the day of Android’s launch.
or if it will insist on keeping mobile market defragmented
Sun also shared statements that Rich Green, executive vice president of software at Sun, made during Oracle Open World this week about Android. “We’re reaching out to Google and are anticipating they will be reaching out to us to ensure the software and APIs will be compatible–so deployment on a wide variety of platforms will be possible,” he said.
Green also said that Sun wants to work with Google to prevent creating a fractured mobile development environment.
