Por que a los preadolescentes no les gusta Facebook

Some 13-Year-Olds Tell Us Why They Think Facebook Stinks JILLIAN D'ONFRO Last week, we learned some big news from Facebook's earnings report: Teens don't want to spend their time on Facebook anymore.  Although Facebook CFO David Ebersman said almost all teens in the U.S. have an account, the daily engagement of younger teens has dropped.   Why? We decided to touch base with some younger teens to find out why they personally think that Facebook stinks.  We interviewed them separately, but both of the 13-year-olds, Lucas and Aiden, brought up the same issue almost immediately:  "Well, a lot of the moms are getting on Facebook," Lucas says, "And that definitely has something to do with...

Tablet norcoreana sorprende

On North Korea’s surprisingly amazing tablet you can play Angry Birds and read Dickens By Lily Kuo The Samjiyon tablet isn't likely to be sold out. AP Photo/Vincent Yu “After a few days of intensive use I can say that this is one of the few cases in my career as a consumer when I got more for my money than I had expected.” Rüdiger Frank, a professor at the University of Vienna and frequent visitor to North Korea, bought a Samjiyon SA-70, the only tablet made in North Korea, at a shop in Pyongyang last month, for €180 (about $240). He has now posted a lengthy review of the device, named after the location of a Korean-Japanese battle in 1939. And he has some remarkably nice things to say about it. + When...

Cómo Silicon Valley puede matar el emprendedorismo

How Silicon Valley can kill your startup In the last year I have lived in San Francisco, Toronto, New York City and Vancouver, where our team currently resides. Our team comes from a small city in Canada, called Saskatoon, where startups are few and far between. Dealflow, angel investing, strategic partners, mentors and basic startup information is scarce. The angel investing group that once was has disbanded and is just getting started again. The fabric and tools necessary to scale, be disruptive and understand the true ideology of what it takes to build a startup, dramatically pales in comparison to the ‘Valley’ and ‘Alleys’ of the world. It was evident that if our team wanted to build a start up, grow past a regional market and...

La guerra termonuclear judicial que anticipaba Steve Jobs: Todos contra todos

Judgment day for Android: Apple, Microsoft file lawsuit against Google, Samsung This is what Steve Jobs meant when he threatened to go nuclear against Android. Yesterday, on Halloween, a consortium of companies including Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Ericsson, and BlackBerry filed lawsuits again Android manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, LG, Huawei, Asustek, and ZTE, as well as other Android manufacturers. All the lawsuits target Google as well, if only indirectly, and one mentions the company by name, saying its core money-maker, Adwords, violates a 1998 patent. Yesterday, the latest smartphone marketshare reports showed that Google’s Android mobile operating system has attained a record 81 percent share, and that Google’s app...

Internet, el enorme mercado donde todos vamos a estar

Here's Why 'The Internet Of Things' Will Be Huge, And Drive Tremendous Value For People And Businesses EMILY ADLER - Business Insider The Internet Of Things represents a major departure in the history of the Internet, as connections move beyond computing devices, and begin to power billions of everyday devices, from parking meters to home thermostats.  Estimates for Internet of Things or IoT market value are massive, since by definition the IoT will be a diffuse layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that overlays entire consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. The IoT will account for an increasingly huge number of connections: 1.9 billion devices today, and 9 billion...

Otra (fuerte) adquisición de una startup en la nube

CSC just acquired cloud startup ServiceMesh CSC just acquired cloud management startup ServiceMesh for an unspecified sum. ServiceMesh is a Santa Monica-based startup that aims to give large enterprises a bit more control over the cloud. The company raised $15 million in venture capital from Ignition Partners in 2011 to compete with giants like IBM and HP. It was founded in 2009. CSC has not revealed the amount it paid for ServiceMesh, although we hear from several sources familiar with the matter that it’s in the $325 million range. The press release announcing the acquisition is filled with someincomprehensible jargon. Simply put, the buy-up will help an IT infrastructure giant like CSC work with clients...
