privacy controls are still better on facebook. a lot easier to control access to my profile info on facebook. G+ needs to have a way to exclude circles from viewing some profile info
facebook is meant for friends. G+ seems to be the TV/celebrity model where you "follow" the internet oprah's and comment about everything they post.
just look at android, the development costs for each new version cost HTC who ever is Google's favorite of the week a lot of money. the phones aren't any cheaper than the iphone a lot of times
free software is usually good a decade or so after the retail software has been on the market. something like jboss replacing weblogic
where they don't have access to most of my information. if you don't want to use your real name then i usually don't want to have anything to do with you on a social network
almost every organization has rules about fraternizing between teachers and students or anyone with power over someone in general. these things go back to before there was a united states.
now that i think about it, i can't peaceably assemble with people in the middle of a highway. my rights are being trampled
Pasteur was fairly wealthy. Other than vaccines he invented Pasteurization. he was a general consultant in his day being hired by a lot of different businesses to solve a variety of problems. The vaccines came late in his life
ipod touch is $199 and the games start at free. and you can read books, wikipedia on it, there are apps to help with homework and school and tens of thousands of other non-game useful apps. and soon you will be able to text on it once iOS 5 comes out
blu rays in the cloud? even itunes is a niche for movie purchases.
$30 for a blu ray/dvd/digital file combo plus a bunch of extras is a good deal. the whole home server rip everything to NAS and stream over wifi is niche as well
the coasts and major cities are just as fast as asia. all the people who live next to cows with their sub 1mbps connections bring everyone else down. a lot of places are not served by cable or they don't want cable TV leaving them with DSL. even a lot of people in the cities have satellite TV and the cheapest DSL for internet at $10 a month
only reason netflix raised prices was because they are trying to license more content. even with the latest deals the selection is still pathetic and titles vanish all the time. i might just cancel my streaming soon and buy a DVD or blu ray every month for my kids
business PC's and servers are like selling coke cans in a supermarket. there is no profit and it's done for branding only. that $500 laptop or desktop is almost no profit for HP or Dell. they make money on the server hard drives and other IT gear they also sell. like a $3000 starter fiber switch that goes to $30,000 after you buy all the licenses.
apple on the other hand wants to make a 30% or so gross profit on every device they sell.
if you pay almost $10 billion for frequencies then you're going to use them for something that produces revenue. not act like some of the russians i know and say you need them for the future and keep them unused for years

so far it's a friendfeed/twitter clone

because normal non geek people like talking about BS like kids and sending stupid quizzes to each other
and the privacy controls are much better on facebook than G+
and the dvd and dvd player just happens to be in their data center and using their network hardware and management systems

the applications do all the work and everything is redundant
i've read years ago that if a server at google goes down it may take a month for the data center ops people to get around to replacing it
and ARM is gimped in that it doesn't support a lot of features x86/x64 does that makes it run so fast compared to ARM
biggest advantage of ARM is that the SoC includes the GPU and the RAM. this is going away. x64 is now shipping with GPU on board for most CPUs.

the 3ds just plays games that cost $30 and up
most of the hot women i've seen on Google+ so far seem to work for MS or Google. and in media

we've had disaster movies, monster movies, historical, fantasy, sci-fi and others.hollywood will find another genre and milk it.
plenty of books out there that haven't been made into movies or in need of a modern CGI refresh. Bible movies anyone?
welcome to business in the 21st century. give away or sell at break even o 95% of people and upsell huge margin crap to the rest for the profits.
blame flyover country

just like the best buy devil customers, they don't want you then
how come this never happens in the US? all our train accidents are caused by engineers texting their wives and girlfriends
need itunes to load media on it
no way to mass purchase licenses of software
apple probably doesn't want anything to do with the GSA or any government business

that's why G+ will probably stay a niche
between the gmail requirement and no social games most people will stay on facebook. the non-geeks don't care what robert scoble is posting daily.
they need to get zynga on board to port their games to G+ and that's close to 100 million users easy
SOny keeps the password secret. it's why there is no iOS or android app to act as a remote for a PS3 since it should be trivial to do
