Talking out loud to control the Google Glasses via voice recognition is “the weirdest thing,” Schmidt said in a talk on Thursday at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.

People will have to develop new etiquette to deal with such products that can record video surreptitiously and bring up information that only the wearer can see, Schmidt said.

“There are obviously places where Google Glasses are inappropriate,” he said.

Weird and inappropriate. Such a perfect product by Google!.

Apple’s WWDC conference has sold out in a record 2 minutes after going on sale. The company announced yesterday that its annual conference would take place in June 10-14th, 2013 at San Francisco’s Moscone West this year.

Here’s the full chart of WWDC sellout times over the years:

• 2008 – 2 months
• 2009 – 1 month
• 2010 – 8 days
• 2011 – 10 hours
• 2012 – 2 hours
• 2013 – 2 minutes

That was really quick!

A proof to all haters who think developers’ interest in iOS and OS X is in decline.

Rob Enderle for TGDaily:

Granted, Apple is still one of the most profitable companies in the world, even if it has lost more value in the past several months (nearly $300B) than most corporations are worth.

For example, HP, which is a much larger company, boasts a total market cap of only $43B. Meaning, you could almost buy 8 HPs at its current worth for the amount of value Apple has lost and, as an investor, you’d probably be far happier having invested in HP over the last 6 months than in Apple.

The whole article is nonsense. The reason Apple’s stock price went so high was about the same as why it dropped dramatically; analysts and investors playing games and making guesses while investors winning or losing on their ‘bets’!

Apple isn’t “broken” to get fixed.

Some good ideas have a lot of bad implementations before someone comes in and does it well enough to win big.

So true. Apple’s iPhone is a good example of this.
