No you look extremely unprofessional and don’t deserve to be at an event like this. It is also extremely rude to other people in the audience. It should be as socially unacceptable as Google Glass is. Younger generation lacks empathy for others.

Anyway, holy crap it reads your heart rate just by looking at your skin!

They should have called it the Xbox Entertainment System (XES).

Anyone else think that the left side of the Xbox One is perfectly designed to stack a small redesigned Xbox 360 right on top?

Scroogled is for the masses, these ads are for geeks. Do you think most people know what HTML5 is or would understand any of these ads? For starters regular people don’t think old IE was bad, they never used any other browsers, except maybe Netscape. Putting these ads on TV would be a complete waste of money. Scroogled however informs regular people that if they use Gmail or buy Android apps that their personal private data is being sold. Most regular people who use free Google services don’t understand that Google is an ad company that monetizes their personal data, so there is a lot to be gained by running those ads all over TV.

Interactive video services could mean a lot of things. It could mean a Google TV type overlay that lets the Xbox community comment and interact with their cable TV services. It could also mean a VoD service like ESPN3 or the Sesame Street/Discovery titles they released for Kinect.

I think the combo of inexpensive phones like the Lumia 520 and 620 and Huawei W1, plus all the top tier apps hitting the platform recently is going to grow share even faster.

In the last few months we’ve seen new WP8 apps from Pandora, Hulu, BBC, FourSquare, Twitter, Facebook, What’sApp, TempleRun, Cut the Rope, several Rovio games and 12 games from Gameloft including new Asphalt, Modern Combat, and NOVA.

Definitely feels like there is momentum for the platform. Nokia and Microsoft are a good team.

I think it is significant that WinPhone is growing share while iPhone and BlackBerry are losing share.

I don’t know what Google will do, but with respect to Facebook let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks putting their photos on Google+ is a good idea.

Google is clearly demonstrating here that they can’t be trusted with our content. They will use the content we provide to them to discriminate against platforms and frustrate their own users and content providers. Content providers want their content to be seen on Windows and Windows users want to access the content they’ve trusted Google with.

I will never upload a photo or any other content to Google because I want to have easy access to my content on whatever platforms I choose, even if that includes Windows or Xbox or Windows Phone. Millions of YouTube users are using these platforms and Google doesn’t care at all that they are frustrating and disappointing all of these people with their childish behavior.

Lesson learned, keep your content off of Google servers, the company can’t be trusted to provide fair equal access to all platforms. DailyMotion, Vimeo provide apps for every major platform (Xbox, Windows, Android, iOS).
