  • Doc Searls Weblog · Won and done

    This tells me my job with foursquare is to be “driven” like a calf into a local business. Of course, this has been the assumption from the start. But I had hoped that somewhere along the way foursquare could also evolve into a true QS app, yielding lat-lon and other helpful information for those (like me)…

    AMD, and NVIDIA before it, has been trying to convince us of the usefulness of its GPUs for general purpose applications for years now.

    I would like to applaud Apples 32nm migration plan. By starting with lower volume products and even then, only on a portion of the iPad 2s available on the market, Apple maintains a low profile and gets great experience with Samsungs 32nm HK+MG process. via AnandTech – The iPad 2,4 Review: 32nm Brings Better Battery…
