What if RIM had bought Palm two years ago (instead of HP)?
Well, we still might have webOS still around and RIM in a significant position in the smartphone market with a winning OS.
Just a thought...

Dropbox to kill off public folders?
According to several articles like this (Dropbox to kill off public folders? | Internet & Media - CNET News)
or this (Dropbox Will Soon Be Done With Public Folders, But Existing Users Get To Keep Them)
Dropbox might get rid of public folders for new accounts.
So this is a good reason to register your account now.

Android v iOS
The three top areas where/why I think Android is superior to iOS:
#3 Notifications
Apple really has to fix them in iOS6... currently they are just laughable.
#2 Widgets
Yes, a lot of widgets are just noise, but many are really helpful, like tasks, calendar, clock, ... maybe messaging and/or email inbox even (although I don't use that)
and
<drumroll/>
#1 the Share Intent
This is what you usually see in an app as the "Sent to" or "Share" menu item or button.
Just take the example of Read-It-Later (or pocket as it is now called). On iOS you have to install a bookmark-let and manually edit the URL (which cannot really be considered user friendly), and then it is still clumsy. On Android the application just declares that it is capable of receiving URLs and voila, it will be in the list. And it can be done from any application that allows to share.
Or Dropbox, or ...
This is really the thing I miss most on my iPad.

Firefox 13
So, yet another Firefox update.Version 13 with the new homepage (featuring buttons to bookmarks, downloads, history, add-ons, sync and settings) and the new tab page looks suspiciously chrome-y to me...
I don't think it will have a huge impact on me, but lets just see over the next weeks.
