Flickr, A Lifetime of Photos, and The Need for Better Access Management. From a product perspective, Marissa Mayer is doing great at Yahoo! She put out a wonderful weather app for iOS. And more recently announced a major Flickr redesign, and a new free tier of 1 Terabyte of data. That blows away any personal storage cloud out there, and represents a compelling reason to go back to Flickr. Or to the photos of your kids if you divorce? I hope Marissa will focus on that sooner than later. Areas I look at:.

Startups, Operational Scale, and Adaptive User Interfaces. I believe that many startups leave a lot of money on the table because they don’t properly target prosumers, that market segment willing to pay a premium or a subscription fee for an application or a service. Sometimes the difference between a standard consumer and a prosumer boils down to operational scale. One thing is processing 3-5 emails per day. Another thing is processing 30-50 (or even 300-500) of them per day. So Feedly approach was offe...

When I was a teenager I spent endless hours watching Star Trek TNG. Of all Star Trek series, TNG is the only one that really caught my interest, maybe because it was the one depicting the most realistic future to my mind. So my idea of “future” developed around three technologies: tablets, hands-free voice control (and interaction with an intelligent computer), and teleportation. Thanks Apple. Thanks Google. Now, if somebody would be kind enough to deliver teleportation…. Click to email this to a friend.

Next Generation Blogging Platforms. While relatively new blogging platforms like Tumblr and SquareSpace gain traction because of their simplicity and attractive design, they don’t differentiate too much from established alternatives like WordPress or Blogger.

The Many Potentials of 3D Printing. Gregory Ferenstein covers 3D printing for TechCrunch from two opposite angles. The life saving one. Doctors 3D-printed an emergency airway tube that saved a 20-month old baby boy’s life. After imaging the boy’s faulty windpipe, doctors at the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital printed 100 tiny tubes and laser-stitched them together over the trachea. And the life killing one. Click to email this to a friend. Click to share on Twitter.

Brad Stone profiling Google X for Bloomberg Businessweek. Last year, Brin, Google’s director of special projects, predicted his company’s self-driving cars will be on the market in five years. Urmson nervously calls that deadline exciting and reveals his own target. I have a 9-year-old son who gets his driver’s license in seven years, he says. So I have to be better than that.
