Geek Smack! Showwww.thegeeksmack.com - It’s been a few weeks, eh? Lots of stuff happening at Geekazine, including 2 trips to CES and HP Tech Day. Now that everything has settled down, I can start to think. Thanks for making iPad365 a successful show in it’s first month – numbers are growing like wildfire.

Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: In the Last 3 Weeks…

This last few weeks have been full of news. We saw Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang finally get it and step down. We saw MegaUpload MegaDown. We saw Google Empire get organized with a new privacy policy. We saw a State of the Union that talked about jobs. So what do we talk about?

I say, let’s talk about it all.

First Yahoo – Jerry, this should have happened years ago. MegaUploads – When you go with a questionable company, you get a questionable product. Let’s hope you didn’t put something up there you need and made backups.

Google – It’s nice to have one policy, instead of a series of documents. We’ll have to see if it adversely affects Google.

Finally, the State of the Union. I refer to the line from the movie “Con Air” – Define Irony: A President that says we should penalize a company for taking Jobs overseas, but highlights a company that publicly denounced the workers in the US. If you didn’t notice, the SOTU bumped Apple’s stock up $25 /share.

Coincidence?
