iPhone finally here!!!!!!

People would literally murder for this thing, I'vv seen people line up a mile away to get it, its insane. I told myself that I was going to wait 6 months, that way all of the chaos will be over. If you get one and it doesnt work like you thought it did you should have waited to 6 months to get all the kinks worked out. Some people were paying people to wait in line for them. This happens everytime a hot product comes out.

Microsoft vs. Apple

The rivalry between Microsoft and Apple is going to heat up even more with the release of the iPhone on saturday. If you take a look at Apple's stock it is above the $100 mark and Apple is growing a lot faster than Microsoft. It looks as if Apple will surpass Microsoft if they continue to grow at this pace. Apple already surpassed Dell after Michael Dell and Steve Jobs had there war of words. The Apple TV was also a pretty neat product, but if failed to beat TiVo (keep trying Apple) I almost guarantee that the iPhone will sale like hot cakes, because there has been so much media coverage on the iPhone. On Microsoft's side I think there failing to release innovative products, for example the zune they released the zune in november of 2006 and to date it has sold a little over a million units. The iPod has 74% of the digital music market. If Microsoft released a successful product like the xbox for example they can better compete with apple in the consumer electronics market. Both companies are very innovative in there own way, and I think there is plenty of enough room in the market for innovation.

Gonna have to wait on the iPhone!

I mentioned earlier on my blog that I will be getting the iPhone on release day, but I'vv made the harsh decision to wait 6 months because I'vv been hearing some not so good reviews, one being the iPhone's difficulty because of the touch screen and the difficulty of making phone calls. I advise all of you to wait and maybe test one out in an apple store and see if you like it. Its a tough decision to make, but hold in there and dont let the extremly appealing commercials get to you.

Geni.com

I always have to talk about new startups and this one is truly interesting. Its called Geni.com and it lets you build your own family tree and connect different members of your family, Geni.com recieved $10 million in venture capital so it probably needs to do something remarkable to turn there investors a profit. There are no advertisments on the site which presents no valid business model because its a free service. Check it out:

Yahoo! is Making A Turnaround.

If you haven't notices Yahoo! has been making a lot of new decisions probably because they notice that Google is growing at an incredibly larger rate and Google is taking in a lot more in revenue. Jerry Yang the co-founder of Yahoo! has taken over as CEO replacing Terry Semel who reaped over $500 million in rewards when Yahoo! wasnt even doing that well. Yahoo! also is acquiring sports website Rivals.com, so as you can tell Yahoo! is going full steam ahead in hopes of better competing with rival Google.

SpaceX

Elon Musk the founder of paypal has started a new venture called SpaceX Technologies which plans to develop a more affordable way of traveling in space and they eventually would like to travel to mars. I think it is very interesting that a dot com entreprenuer is developing space technology. I think in the coming years you will see a lot of space travel. So good for Elon Musk and I hope his venture is successful.
