This is the biggest iPhone 7 leak yet.
I love Apple products, but sometimes I think they are too clever by half. Yes a new phone is always exciting, but getting rid of the headphone jack in favor dual speakers on a handset, just doesn’t really make sense to me.

Yahoo tried to provide the regular consumer the YouTube user generated content model several years ago.

YouTube is driving further into this model with YouTube Red, so the market as a whole is going to grow exponentially.
It will be a tough road, but if anyone could compete directly with Google/YouTube it’s Amazon.

According to a study in Forbes, multitasking is not all it’s cracked up be.
Multitasking Damages Your Brain And Career, New Studies Suggest.
I often see people who have many tasks going at the same time, I do some of that myself, but I’m much better just concentrating on one task at a time in series. Now at least there is something to point to there being more than just my intuition about multitasking.
If you need further evidence of the failed policy of “tax the rich & spend your way out of a deficit”, just consider Spain. The Reuters article describes how people are transferring money out of Spain like mad. It’s just insane to think that people would not move their money out. Who wouldn’t in the face of such obvious financial ineptitude?
You knew this already.
