Google has killed Google Shoot View, a controversial app which saw Google Street View turned into a shooting game. But is/was Google Shoot View a bit of harmless fun or something altogether more sickening?
If for no other reason, Motorola deserves credit for staying the course. Granted, it’s the wrong course, but they’re not backing down. Whereas, Hewlett-Packard is already pivoting hard and Dell chose discretion over valor, the Libertyville, Illinois company won’t let itself be swayed by either reason or market realities.
In the desktop computer space, depending on who’s doing the calculation, Apple takes from 50 to 65 percent of the profits. And, the same can be said of the smartphone market where the company garners the same share of the spoils. So, when Google’s chairman tells the world’s digirerti that Android leads iPhone, those folks are quite naturally skeptical.
Google+ is still alive, barely. But will it ever give Facebook a run for its money. Why don’t we ask Mark Zuckerberg what he thinks.
Welcome to Androidland, a retail experience posing as a theme park. And all of it powered by Google Android. Prepare for indoctrination.
Google is reportedly working on creating its own one-day delivery service that it will make available to partner retailers. While hardly a killer blow, it certainly ups the challenge for Amazon.
Chrome is now the second most popular Web browser behind Internet Explorer, with Firefox dropping to third. There is no way I would have predicted this happening when Google tentatively launched Chrome in 2008.
Max Mosley is the new Barbra Streisand. In rallying against Google he has only managed to bring more attention to himself.

Liquid Robotics has sent four of its unique unmanned maritime vehicle (UMV) Wave Gliders on trips across the Pacific Ocean. Two Wave Gliders will be going to Japan and the other two to Australia. Along the way they will collect over two and a quarter million discrete data points from the following onboard sensors:
Google Music has officially launched, with everyone in the U.S. now invited to sign up and begin using the service. But is it worth doing so?
Google has publicly launched BigQuery, a cloud-based data analysis service. It could be another example of the scaling of cloud computing slashing costs, though security and privacy issues have already been raised.
Too often the words “open and free” can be summarized with a single word, “infection,” thus presenting an increasingly dire situation that Google and its Android partners ignore at their peril.

When it comes to competing in a new market, you can try to be better or you can try to be different. Google has decided on the latter for its TV service with a tie-up with a hardcore porn company.
Google’s Chairman called Siri a “competitive threat” to its search business. Of course, this comment was made to the U.S. Senate Antitrust Subcommittee but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a grain of truth in that statement along with a lot of hyperbole.
