2 weeks away from email and a newsreader can sometimes leave you a bit disconnected from what’s happening. Here are some items I was welcomed back to:
– Procter & Gamble’s $57 billion purchase of Gillette. (Will someone please ask them to reduce the price of the blades)
– Superbowl and the various advertisements
– DEMO and emerging technologies
– Carly Fiona’s departure from HP
– Mobile phones galore at the 3GSM
– Verizon’s proposed purchase of MCI
– Mark Jen’s termination for blogging about Google
– The Cell Processor from IBM, Sony and Toshiba
– Mobile Music (I haven’t even caught up with the Portable Media Players movement)
– Call Centers in Africa (About time)
– Various political events too many to list
