Disruptive Factories

Posted: November 13th, 2008, 5:54am CET by Robert Scoble

Just a few minutes ago I was standing in the middle of a sea of cardboard boxes. They include power supplies for your XXXXXXX. Or new laptops made by XXXXXXXX. Or other consumer electronics goodies from brands you know and love. Sorry, the owner of the supply chain (Liam Casey founder of PCH) forced me [...]
Things I’ve learned in China so far

Posted: November 11th, 2008, 4:50am CET by Robert Scoble

Just some quick impressions. 1. If you want to compete with your web service and keep copying from happening, do two things: 1. let users upload streaming, live, video. That drives the censors here nuts. 2. Make your system totally open so your users can leave. The Chinese don’t understand that concept. They love cloning walled [...]
Not blogging from China. Heheh.

Posted: November 11th, 2008, 4:21am CET by Robert Scoble

Well, at most of the places I’ve been the past few days my blog (and all blogs on the wordpress.com domain) is blocked so I haven’t been able to post, or even read my blog. But I’ve been posting a ton over on Twitter and on FriendFeed. Both of those sites are totally available in China [...]
Back to Tech

Posted: November 5th, 2008, 8:17pm CET by Robert Scoble

We’re in San Francisco’s airport right now on our way to Shanghai, China. I’m mostly happy with how the politics came out, but now it’s time to get back to tech. If you unsubscribed or blocked me somewhere, sorry, but I did the same to a few people who were driving me batty. Now looking at [...]
Sign of the times: political TechMeme headline

Posted: November 1st, 2008, 8:48pm CET by Robert Scoble

The headline screams “no one in tech can defend McCain.” So, who wants to take up the other side? Anyone? I found two. John Dvorak bet me $100 that McCain would win. My producer, Rocky Barbanica, who was a software engineer for decades before switching careers, bet me another $100 that McCain would win. Over on Twitter [...]
Never underestimate Microsoft’s ability to turn a corner

Posted: November 1st, 2008, 7:56pm CET by Robert Scoble

This week Microsoft didn’t get much hype for its three major announcements. Certainly it didn’t stay on top of TechMeme as long as, say, if Steve Jobs gets a sniffle. But don’t miss what they did. 1. On day 1 of the PDC they announced Azure, which is a set of cloud services that competes with [...]
FastCompanyTV moves to China (for a visit)

Posted: October 31st, 2008, 11:05pm CET by Robert Scoble

No, we’re not outsourcing, next Wednesday we’ll be going to China for a sizeable trip to hear from entrepreneurs and venture capitalists there and get some tours around factories. I’m telling you this so we can arrange some fun dinners and other impromptu events. It’s Rocky’s first time there, and I haven’t been to China [...]
Make your car a wifi hot spot

Posted: October 31st, 2008, 1:53am CET by Robert Scoble

We’re taking a bus to the CES show and I needed a way to get Wifi onto the bus and people kept telling me about Autonet, which is a way to turn your car into a wifi hot spot. So today I visited the CEO, Sterling Pratz, and got a demo. Also car related Ford lent [...]
Tired of economic bad news? Play free online golf!

Posted: October 31st, 2008, 12:36am CET by Robert Scoble

Today Electronic Arts laid off a bunch of people. I guess video games aren’t selling well now that we’re all tightening our budgets. But a new startup in Silicon Valley has a better idea: make a better golf game online and give it away for free. It’s called the World Golf Tour and I interviewed [...]
A “juicy” Silicon Valley startup

Posted: October 30th, 2008, 12:41am CET by Robert Scoble

For those of you who have moved to Silicon Valley in the past 10 years you might have missed that it is built on a set of former orchards. Which is why this startup (Maverick Brands, aka Sunkist Naturals) caught my eye. I thought that maybe this CEO, Mark Shaw, had missed the memo that [...]
