switching from Apple to Google
Jeff Jarvis is one of the most important Google pundits.

Almost.
He still needs Skype, now owned by Microsoft. And has to switch to Ubuntu to use it.
I’ve still got a few good years left with Apple. Then — like most of their current fans — I’ll be switching over to Google.
There’s no way the locked down Apple platform cam compete against the more open Google platform long term.
Something will make me jump. Perhaps Google Glass. Or an Android device from which I can connect to the internet from anywhere in the wilds of the world.
The main alternative is Microsoft. Pretty cool in 2013.
I’d choke to death on humble pie if ever switching to MS.
NEW – Google Keep – Evernote competitor
Much as I want to, I still haven’t got into using Evernote regularly.
It’s a brilliant service. But when I ran into my data cap and was billed $40 / year, I balked.
Google’s come out with a simpler, free competitor. I’ll give it a go.

sigh … I’m still using Google Tasks
Of the many different ways I’ve done to-do lists, only two methods have persisted.
A simple text list. And Google Tasks.

I wish this option was just SLIGHTLY more advanced.
Of the cool alternatives, I just decided against Priority Matrix.
switching Hotmail to Outlook
Hotmail is horrible. Replacement — Outlook.com — is easily one of the top 2 online email clients.
Switching is EASY. It takes only seconds.

Cheap. But WiFi only, so far.
EVERYONE expects Apple to add a smaller iPad to their line up in order to compete.
EVERYONE expects it to be more expensive.

Google augmented reality glasses
A proposal.
… potential uses for Project Glass. A man wanders around the streets of New York City, communicating with friends, seeing maps and information, and snapping pictures. It concludes with him video-chatting with a girlfriend as the sun sets over the city. All of this is seen through the augmented-reality glasses. …

… You know what you can do? Stop sharing things you don’t want tracked. …
Before and after March 1st best advice is not to do anything online you’ll regret in future. Somebody, somewhere could be tracking it. And it probably won’t be Google. They’re one of the least evil players.
