The challenge is that technology: (a) is not linear; (b) does not progress in predictable ways based on current assumptions; and (c) is heavily interconnected with social norms and beliefs.

Next Samsung devices to receive ICS: Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, 8.9, 8.9 LTE and 10.1.

One concern I have over AOL's approach is the lack of a traditional, hardened newsroom. When they acquired HuffPo, then TechCrunch, Engadget and others it amassed a Greatest Hits of Blogs. But not necessarily a viable, long-term news model.

CNN has long been regarded as revolutionizing television news, introducing the 7/24 cycle in 1980 that we all now take for granted. Mashable revolutionized social media coverage - in a way creating a new media culture that both creates and consumes content.

Though he denies it, I very much believe the site in question does play a very important role in setting tone. So the conversation you see on Venturebeat or Wired, for example, would be predictably different than, say, TMZ or Gizmodo.

It's rare when I write about something I don't like, but somehow I think Griffin will survive. Instead, look for alternatives from Speck, Incipio, and Marware.

I've been testing a slew of these small, rechargeable, bluetooth speakers -- from Bose, Logitech, Soundfreaq, among others -- and have come away quite impressed. How does the Altec Lansing inMotion Air IMW725 compare?
