Free gift! Or, put another way, how to get a small downpayment on what is probably a bad investment of your time. Research in Motion is looking at you — developers, developers, developers — and, if you port your Android app to QNX in 10 days or less, they are graciously willing to [...]

In 2005, Facebook commissioned an artist to paint murals at its headquarters and cheekily offered to pay him in company stock rather than cash. They somehow persuaded him to take the stock: that decision means he’ll soon be worth around $200 million.

When the iPhone 4S shipped last October, smartphone pundits declared it dead on arrival because it “lacked” 4G LTE, a four-inch display, Near Field Communication (NFC) payment functionality and a range of other checklist features that infest offerings from other vendors, especially Android devices. That string of crowd-sourced wisdom turned out to be [...]

When you ask the public for at least five billion dollars, you have to start answering a few questions. And in the case of Facebook’s long-awaited filing for an Initial Public Offering, some of those answers were truly revealing.

Here’s a powerful realization for you to act upon — if you don’t take your expensive, absolutely life critical smartphone into the bathroom, it can’t fall into the toilet. Seriously, keep your business out of your business. That said, though iPhone owners are somewhat less likely to diddle in the loo, smartphone users [...]

Google has unveiled two main changes to its personal data [...]

No good business model goes unpunished or so it must appear to Redbox. There is no question that bits encoded on plastic disks (a.k.a. DVDs, Blu-ray) will die sooner rather than later — it only remains to be seen how the remaining dollars get squeezed out.

Spotify continues to go from strength to strength. Proving its freemium model is the correct one for the business.

Spotify has now racked up more than 3 million subscribers. It hit 1 million in March 2011, 2 million in September 2011, and [...]

If you’ve got files stored on Megaupload and you haven’t got a back-up, you need to cross your fingers. The companies that physically host the files have agreed to keep them online for two more weeks, but after that they could start hitting delete.

A long time coming. Consumers first heard about shared data plans from both AT&T and Verizon back in June 2011, but many of us have been hoping the carriers would come to their senses at least since the iPhone hit the scene and revolutionized the smartphone segment back in 2007. Of course, the [...]
