Here we go again, another petty fight between two tech giants over some silly and pointless matter that will make consumers lose in the long run. Google and Microsoft are quickly becoming the new Mac vs PC (can’t Microsoft get along with anyone?) and don’t stop bickering.
It has become a custom of mine to talk about Apple’s mobile operating system before or right after it is released. I wrote about iOS5 features, my thoughts on iOS6, and now, with the release of iOS7 around the corner, it is time. I will split the features I would love to see in iOS7 into two categories. The first one is “Things we will most likely see” and the second, “There is not a freaking chance Apple will do this and they will remain stuck in their old and outdated ways”.
This is really not a post intended to start a debate about iOS vs Android or whether Windows Phone or BlackBerry stand a chance of making a comeback. In fact, that is the very point of the brilliant ad for the Lumia 920 you can see below.
While the world of technology seems to be slowing down, Google is quite obviously owning all the buzz on the web with its new glasses, or should I say Glass. (Not sure anyone has yet figured out how to refer to this product.)

In the world of social networking, among the three leading sites, Facebook is very unique. No, not because it is still dominant or because it is the only one that changes its UI every 35 seconds.
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Nuance, the company behind the engine that powers Siri on iOS devices is taking a crack at bringing mobile advertising into the world of voice. As you may have noticed, mobile advertising is expected to absolutely explode in the coming years based on pretty much every single analyst on the planet. Now, this makes a whole…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) OK, I caved. I told myself I would not write about the ridiculousness that is Google Glass until I can actually see a practical use case for me and other normal people. And when I say “normal people”, I am excluding guys like Scoble who can’t stop talking about the potential of Google Glass. Is he wrong?…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) So you might have heard, RIM, scratch that, BlackBerry (they changed the name of the company) announced BlackBerry 10 earlier today. Besides the fact that the company surprised everyone by actually launching this thing (finally) and by not messing up the launch in any way (besides a little interview that we will ignore for now), the…
