There is a shirt company that is making sensors that go into your clothing. They will watch how you sit, run or ski and give data on that information.
The problem with Microsoft is that it's so committee-driven and slow.
The problem with Flipboard is that it's an app, not the Web, and I keep hoping someone will show me a really well-designed Web app that shows me that the Web can still win.
Apple knows a lot of data. Facebook knows a lot of data. Amazon knows a lot of data. Microsoft used to, and still does with some people, but in the newer world, Microsoft knows less and less about me. Xbox still knows a lot about people who play games. But those are the big five, I guess.
I get a lot of email, so if you're sending me an email, if you want to rise above the clutter, put something on it: say, 'Hey!'
The people who can step up my experience are those who have a common set of experiences with people I know. Think about it. How often did a total stranger come into your life to make your evening better? Not very often. But the friend of your friend? That happens all the time.
I was first in line for the iPhone, but I'm not a fanboy of any company - I'm in favor of anything that's best of breed.
Photography let me show other people how I saw the world. Math required me to do work that made my head hurt.

I've seen this over and over again: people love it if you step up their experience. No one turns down an upgrade to business class in a plane.
Apple, at its best, isn't a technology leader.
Facebook is studying emotional reaction to things and bringing you fewer of things you don't engage with and more of what you do.
Highlight just hasn't proven to be very addictive to either me or my friends. We talk about it often. I keep running it.
I do not see Windows Phones anywhere in the world except Seattle.
