Know What's Sad...?

Yahoo actually beat Google to the punch in designing a mobile user interface specifically for iPhone users - and discussed the traffic spike they were seeing from iPhones on their mobile sites. That first update is ALL they ever did. Meanwhile, Google has continued its pattern of constant innovation, honing all of its mobile offerings to fully exploit the strengths of the iPhone DESPITE the fact that it will be a competing platform in a matter of months.

Remember when Yahoo was talking about how the next big battle would be in the mobile arena? Um…yeah. Great example of the lethargy that seems to pervade Yahoo these days.

(Pandora Radio (and Last.fm, etc.)) + (iPhone + Android) = Death of satellite radio.

Maybe they can sell those satellites for target practice to the Russians and Chinese. Now THERE’S something to invest in!

Housing in cities and neighborhoods that require lengthy commutes and provide few transportation alternatives to the private vehicle are falling in value more precipitously than in more central, compact and accessible places.
