Steve Jobs made it clear - "Adobe’s Flash products are 100% proprietary. They are only available from Adobe, and Adobe has sole authority as to their future enhancement, pricing, etc. While Adobe’s Flash products are widely available, this does not mean they are open, since they are controlled entirely by Adobe and available only from Adobe. By almost any definition, Flash is a closed system." You can read full story here

Next month I will go to Bremen, Germany for a long weekend. Recently we bought some cheap flight tickets via Ryanair from Kaunas > Bremen. What do you recommend to do there? Probably some great pubs? :-)

Last March 12 manufacturers were responsible for 34 Android devices though only two, the HTC Dream and HTC Magic comprised 96% of total traffic. This year, that 96% was shared between 11 devices. The Motorola Druid has the most traffic, at 32%. What does it mean for advertisers or Apple? AdMob stats show: "Android ad traffic in the U.S. was 46% in March of this year versus iPhone's 32%. Android's ad traffic has grown 32% per month, rising from 72 million requests in March of last year to two billion last month. " Although the fact that advertisers in the U.S. have elected to put more ads on Android than iPhone is a good indicator as to the desirability of that platform, Apple is still ahead of Google overall. Apple indicated that the company had sold 8.75 million iPhones in that three-month period.  Android sold seven million in the whole of last year.  You can download full report here

It took me time to figure out, how to "minimize all active application" on windows seven. Show desktop icon is now near the clock on the right...  So Microsoft, why did you move show desktop icon in windows 7? :-)

Any chance you'll have a couple of spare plasma TVs lying around anyway, and a couple of windows you can fit them into. Then, with a Wiimote, your view out the "windows" will be altered depending on your movements, tracked via a (albeit awkward-looking) necklace.

How does Google do at SEO for google.com? Google does: it is one of the most linked domains on the web (during 2008). Interesting facts: Google doesn't have any team members that works on SEO things ;-) And Google optimizes for the user experience. Funny thing is that In the SEO report CArd: 1) search result presentation 2) URLs and redirects 3)On-page optimizations Many google products missed basics ;) Like no right meta tags, LOTS of duplicate content , like all working examples of Google books without redirects. Title tags - without real simple product name. One great rule you must know - product logo, should link to the RIGHT page. Most of the google pages doesn't have it either. BAD example - Google mobile adds logo, linked to the 404 error page :) Here is a video straight from Google to you:

I like Kevin Spacey a LOT. And here is probably the best video (not the best with him) about twitter, and tweets.

What will facebook would look like for older people? Like pensions style? :)

Azerbaijani puts adds on facebook to promote the song "Drip drop".

Recent new from twitter - new service called "Promoted Tweet" Initially, the ads will start with search: Advertisers will be able to buy keywords, and when those keywords are searched for, the Promoted Tweet will appear at the top of the search results.  This form of advertising will work across all Twitter applications and clients The implementation won't be especially annoying, especially the first part.   This seems like a no-brainer--we're surprised it took so long. It seems that As long as the Promoted Tweet appears at the top of the search stream, people will immediately get used to it.

Recent stats from "Experian simmons" shows huge online growth in video. Which takes more and more DVD rental users.: "Online streaming video and downloading technology enables instant gratification, which is something that U.S. consumers seem to relish to the fullest. For the past year and a half, online video streaming and downloading activity has been on a continuous rise, with 31% more U.S. adults today watching streaming video online and 30% more U.S. adults downloading movies online." We also can see the decrease of 14% in the number of adults who rented DVD/Blu Ray disks through a retail store, we can safely say that consumers are embracing online video in rapidly increasing numbers. Since the end of September 2008 until now, the percent of American adults downloading video to their mobile phones has increased by a relative 385%.

Opera today announced that its browsers are now used by more than 100 million people worldwide, saying that the distribution between mobile and desktop users is a nearly even split at 50 million a piece. While 50 million desktop users means just a tiny fraction of the browser market for home users, 50 million mobile users actually represents a dominance in the mobile browser market and still we are waiting for it's app available on iPhone which will be huge success. 

Thinking about your web user database, or when you use CRM, or calculating average conversion rates - always remember, that The average is irrelevant. Great post by Seth godin : "When you can't figure out the best way to treat all your customers, the best way to price things, the best thing to offer, realize that the problem is almost always this: you're trying to treat everyone the same. Don't. Break them into groups with similar attributes, and suddenly the path becomes a lot more clear."

It's worth it to publish.  Rule 1 : Life is not fair -- get used to it! Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping -- they called it opportunity. Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are.
