the insurance comment makes me think this whole comment is joke. but regardless, I wouldn't rely on the phone for maps, you can't pan/zoom or anything. what you get is an image that, when clicked, opens up the maps app on iPhone.

Honestly, I think the watch is going to create more annoyance than it's going solve. People will replace staring at their phones with staring at (or talking to) their watches. Is that any better?

I hear yeah, but no way I'm spending $10K+ for something my dad doesn't even want. :)

Fledgling isn't an insult.

Anyone who makes a broad generalization from a single statement is as clueless as he accuses others to be. But thanks for reading!

Clearly you've never been a female reporter at an out of town conference. And obviously I don't think all entrepreneurs are drab. If that were the case, I'd probably be bored as heck by my job.

Congrats, Ken. You're a natural, and already a star in my eyes. :)

Re: Dalton Caldwell’s App.net, a social utopia, makes its alpha debut

Does anyone ever want to spend money on anything? We do it when what we want justifies the price. In this case, $50 seems like a small price to pay to watch an intriguing experiment unfold. But that's me.

Boxee Live TV users would be directly affected, as explained by the company in this post: http://blog.boxee.tv/2012/0...

I do, but thanks for the concern. Mistakes happen.

Re: Internet “douchebag” Allthis responds to controversy | VentureBeat

Your comment makes no sense, nor is there any truth to what I think you're suggesting.

Re: Internet “douchebag” Allthis responds to controversy | VentureBeat

Jennifer Van Grove — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:02:21 -0000

That's a ridiculous and highly inappropriate thing to even suggest, Daniel.

Re: iFlop? At 60% off, Apple’s iAd platform still not attractive to advertisers | VentureBeat

Jennifer Van Grove — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:28:03 -0000

Hmm interesting point, though iAd has always been talked about as a mobile ad platform so not sure it would figure into the company's TV plans

Re: Android owners love Facebook, ignore Google+ | VentureBeat

Jennifer Van Grove — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:06:38 -0000

I have no idea what you're trying to say. I have covered Google+ extensively in the past 6 months, and use the site as well. In this instance, I'm simply reporting on data that was gathered by Nielsen.

Re: Android owners love Facebook, ignore Google+ | VentureBeat

Jennifer Van Grove — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:04:24 -0000

You make some good points, but G+ is still young. I do have hard a time believing that it could command attention away from FB (everyone I see on the street is glued to FB on their mobile devices), but stranger things have happened.

Re: Google TV gets a 24/7 streaming porn channel | VentureBeat

Jennifer Van Grove — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:16:20 -0000

I wouldn't say it's that risky, but it does speak to one of the fundamental differences between the two companies. Choice is good, right? And people do like their porn.

Great job, guys. Really enjoyed watching. BUT, Jolie... you know what I'm going to say. The iPhone 4S is far from lemon. :P

they keep telling me it's in the works and I did try to get a firm date, but so far no official timing

Re: Teenagers Translate Pokemon for the Facebook Generation

Jennifer Van Grove — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 02:26:51 -0000

Agreed Paul. At 17, I considered myself a genius in the making (doesn't every teen?), but I certainly wasn't launching a startup or getting the attention of industry veterans.

Nice is subjective, but he's a passionate guy and he's always been easy to interview.

to be fair, nordstrom isn't copying the idea, they're buying it
