by on 28. Mar, 2010 11:06AM in News, Roundups

There’s no doubt about it: Android, our favorite little brown robot, means serious business. In Las Vegas, the perfect place to lose all your money (or make some of it playing blackjack), CTIA 2010 steamrolled all other smartphone competitors with the Sprint EVO 4G, Samsung Galaxy S, Dell Aero, and the PTT-based Motorola i1. And of course, there’s Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt not stabbing each other at a cafe, some new reviews, and more….

Either they were having a friendly discussion or are simply taunting themselves or the press. According to one lucky Gizmodo tipster, Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt were having coffee at Calafia in the Town and Country shopping center in Palo Alto, California. What exactly were they talking about? We’ll leave the guessing up to you, but all we know is that this occurred earlier today. And what’s that black thing on the table? Look closely.

by on 17. Feb, 2010 5:43PM in Android, Did You Know?

This is a good addition to the Did You Know? fact section of LaptopMemo.

Hell Indeed Freezes Over: Google’s First Superbowl Ad

by on 07. Feb, 2010 9:53PM in Google, News

When Google CEO Eric Schmidt tweeted “Hell Freezes Over”, we expected something. Hell has indeed freezed over as Google’s first Superbowl ad was aired just minutes ago to over 90 million Americans (accompanied by beer, food, and whatnot).

The ad is titled Parisian Love, which is basically a love story, and pushes Google’s search engine technologies to the limit. It starts at “study abroad paris france”, then moves to “impress a french girl” and eventually goes all the way to “how to assemble a crib”; the ad shows how much Google can fit perfectly into people’s lives. I’ve embedded the video after the break.

Google CEO resigns from Apple board today over "conflict of interest"

by on 03. Aug, 2009 12:24PM in Apple, Google, News

Google CEO Eric Schmidt has resigned from the Apple board today over “conflict of interest”.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs recently stated that:

“Unfortunately, as Google enters more of Apple’s core businesses, with Android and now Chrome OS, Eric’s effectiveness as an Apple board member will be significantly diminished, since he will have to recuse  himself from even larger portions of our meetings due to potential conflicts of interest.”

It makes sense though. You can’t have your own operating system that could challenge Apple and think you’ll still be welcomed on their board. You’ll have to resign. Anyway, Apple has to deal with another problem: Windows 7. And now Chrome OS.

But you can be sure that this will be a very long and interesting war, don’t forget Apple recently rejected the Google Voice app for “suspicious reasons”. And the FCC investigation over the Google Voice app. And Google’s Chrome OS. And the Andriod OS.

It’s a good strategic decision for a company like Google that could challenge Microsoft and Apple in the OS market.

Or is it??
