Qualcomm wasted $4-6B on FLO TV, AT&T bought the 700MHz spectrum for $1.925 Billion, which Qualcom paid $683 Mill for.
Streamed The Man Who Wasn’t There from @netflix. @jvagner would like it too. Coen bro’s know how to cut up a story!
Since this was Oprah’s last broadcast TV holiday special, she went out big. Not one candle but 18 flavors. Not 1 pair of Nikes, but 4…
Wish @natasha was here at Mindshare. Follow @anxiaostudio and all my last handful I followed! #socialmediaart
Haven’t ice skated in 400 years, and the rain of SF makes a natural zamboni. #win!
Fox’s Family Guy looks amazing on Hulu Plus via Roku XR. Sure it’s a cartoon in HD, but hope it looks as good on @boxee
Costco is full of GIGANTIC killer Pumpkin Pies. #noms http://twitpic.com/3e6og6
Love that I can check in online with @virginamerica again. Thanks for helping to fix it & I’m excited for my next disco flight in the sky!
Retail mobile scanning is up 30X from 2009. Dozens of apps & no real winner. Alas, one person is out there scanning. :) http://bit.ly/hbuRlg

My fav pic from Art Basel - Would be perfect if the cordless phone was a gun. Blondes with guns rule http://yfrog.com/eo17t0j
Really into the LED “subtractive” art from MIT grad and new medium artist Jim Campbell. Pulse @ Art Basel is great!
At Pulse in Art Basel Miami, where cars are art and creepy performance art is taking place. Sun is warm & breeze is nice
Pastel colors, guys with sweaters over their shoulders, black leather mini skirts & pants skirts-South Beach Miami wins!

Glad to be @ Art Basel. Picture all of the best world’s best art galleries under one roof. Sculpture, paint, neon-crazy!
RT @toriblaseCNN: #CNN: The full House of Representatives voted Thursday to censure Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-New York.
Censuring has not been done in 20 some odd years & is a very public embarrassment. This is going to give CSPAN that ratings boost they need!
Hearing some great stuff that’s dropping from the smaller companies at CES 2011. If you debut gear, LMK for G4 TV ASAP!
Pelican kept their “tribal knowledge” by keeping their “old” building & staff and outsourcing their distribution “gaining” 30% more space.
Pelican Products sells flashlights to China police, military, & fire + America too, because Chinese want quality emergency products as well.
Packsize CEO Hanko Kiessner thinks of Besos @amazon a video mentor & his company got out of selling machines & focused on selling boxes.
AC Propulsion got into the Electric Motor business because they wanted cool electric cars that fit a need, sporty along with shorter range.
Top tech news - 25MM MSFT Kinects sold (I got 2) & iPhone beats out Blackberry Smart phones by a .5 percent margin of the 30% used in US.
At LACMA Bloomberg innovation panel w/Pelican Products (cases + lights) AC Propulsion (elec motors) and my fav Packsize (on-demand boxes!)
