Uber Meets Its Match in France http://www.wsj.com/articles/uber-meets-its-match-in-france-1442592333
It seeing how the company has been able to introduce disruptive innovation, into existing and monopolistic type markets. They jump start into the market so that they have a large presence of drivers and customers before the regulators can catch up with them. Of course the services are much better than the existing taxis. Very interesting how disruptive innovation good the interview so quickly into large markets. Doubly interesting is how there’s very little barrier to entry and the company über can do so well and be so big.
This is über competition and innovation at its best!

Everything You Need to Know About Google Glass – IGN (Half full?)
Everything You Need to Know About Google Glass – IGN:
Here’s everything you need to know about Google Glass (Glasses really).
This article discusses if the Glass is half empty or half full.
I think it will work in the same way as bluetooth. Once you have used it, it is hard to go back to holding a phone again.
I think you will really need to quality of SIRI in order to make this work, otherwise it may simply be an inconvenient exercise. A bluetooth experience that doesn’t recognize voice commands well, is rather useless.
Cool way to have a cam, though, no matter how long it takes to get it work well.
It should add new options to the way we all communicate. GoToMeeting from Citrix would have to add in a new option of DontGoToMeeting.
I like the idea of working it into street view from Google. That could be really, really cool.
Now we’ll have no excuse for stopping to ask directions again.
Price will be interesting. I will bet lots of money that it comes in under $1,000, certainly not the $1,500 that’s currently being tossed up to developers.
In the end, the glass may be more than half full.
But, we’ll have to wait and see!:-)
