A great video with Eric Schmidt CEO Google

Eric Schmidt has perhaps the best job on the planet right now. Leading a company that seems to do NO wrong. Stock price is OUT OF CONTROL high yet stable, new products are rolling out regularly and with clear focus. Google is entering the Web 2.0 space gradually... not too quickly (as the space is still being defined). Now they are finally ready to offer the online Web 2.0 office suite (and start selling it to business). Again this company seems to do no wrong.

This is an interview with Eric lasting about 35 minutes. I well spent 35 minutes... he is very intelligent and has great on stage presence. Seems to know his stuff for the most part, but most importantly seems to understand his companies (what some might find complicated) offerings. Google is a new breed of company, not in the traditional Microsoft, IBM, Oracle style. They are the biggest Web 2.0 company right now and show a continued push to remain the leaders.

Now THATS what I call a mouse!

Usually Apple Computer seems to set the design bar. And usually it's pretty high. They've done it with desktops, laptops, monitors, mp3 players and even mobile phones... but one they can have had problems with has been the mouse. I have always disliked Apple's mice over the years, it's like they let their interns do the mice while the pros do everything else. So how can Apple do a nice mouse, easy... just take a page from Logitech! Now this is a great looking, head turning, eye opening mouse! Very good job Logitech... not sure how it feels but you got the drop-dead-gorgeous design right. (maybe Logitech hired some ex-Apple designers or something)

What an interesting idea for a phone

I have to hand it to O2, this is a very interesting idea. I'm not sure if I like it or if it will work but Kudos for trying something new. I like what they are doing. It's called the Cocoon and it uses the outside of the phone much more. I would actually have to try this one out to see if it would work in the real world, but off hand... I'd have to say... why not?
