(image from the Telegraph) I just do not believe Google is going to get into the hardware business with phones. Service, apps, platform, sure. But a phone? I don’t believe it.

I must have been under a rock, because I missed the news that Doug Cutting (of Lucene and Nutch fame) is now at Yahoo, and working on supporting Hadoop, which is "a software platform lets one easily write and run applications that process vast amounts of data." Tim covers…
Tim covers this well, writing:
…why is Yahoo!’s involvement so important? First, it indicates a kind of competitive tipping point in Web 2.0, where a large company that is a strong #2 in a space (search) realizes that open source is a great competitive weapon against their dominant competitor. It’s very much the same reason why IBM got behind Eclipse, as a way of getting competitive advantage against Sun in the Java market. (If you thought they were doing it out of the goodness of their hearts rather than clear-sighted business logic, think again.) If Yahoo! is realizing that open source is an important part of their competitive strategy, you can be sure that other big Web 2.0 companies will follow.
I saw this headline in the paper version of the Times yesterday, and noted I should read it. It had to be the business section, because the headline read: "When the Bay of Fundy Swells, a River Roller Coaster Begins" I figured it had to be a tongue in…

“We are hell-bent to absolutely become a powerhouse in the ad business.” (Infoweek)
With deals from Digg (an FM partner, and now, FM is partnering with Microsoft), and EA, as well as buying AdECN and aQuantive, it’s clear we’re out of the “playing around” phase and into the “we’re not f*cking around” phase.
