In a recent article on GigaOM, the author poses the question whether Facebook is really all that it’s cracked up to be. I have to laugh because I’ve been telling people for over a year that everything they have seen, heard or read about Facebook in the last year has been completely for the purpose of pumping up their stock value for the IPO.
Facebook is yesterday’s technology and with a technology giant like Google stepping into their playground, they have little to no chance of surviving long as the number one social networking site. They are destined to become a white dwarf like Yahoo! and MySpace has become. They are certainly not worthy of an $100 billion investment infusion.

Robots have become a very mainstream topic these days. I just ran across this video on Google+ that I wanted to share because this has become the source of many a conversation recently. By conversation, I mean my excited rhetoric talking about all of the opportunities kids have these days to get into robotics and how I envy them.
The best part is the generation that will grow up with these technological wonders don’t even remember movies like Terminator 2, “I, Robot”, AI or Star Trek Generations; books like I, Robot and the Foundation series; let alone know of Isaac Asimov who is credited with creating the three fundamentals laws of robotics.
