on: Is Foursquare in trouble?
I think you are spot on. I think they are pushing towards CRM. The question is how many users do they need to pull off a local merchant CRM tool that is big enough to justify the amount of funding they have received.

Bingo with the comment "A Game with no winners". :-).
Actually, I think Facebook integrated location very nicely to their feature set with their latest mobile UI. I don't think they abandoned it at all.
The combination of Tripadvisor+Lonly Planet served me well in my travels. So did Foursquare. But I don't think this alone will make it a viable business.

I got 4 pieces of chicken wings at Hooters in LA once. :-)

I totally agree with your comments. Do you mind to share which direction do you think they should go?

What I see from my friends is that they use Facebook and Twitter constantly. However every month they pick a new favorite social, local, photo app to play with. One month it is Instagram, next it is Foursquare, then Path. But they don't stick with this 3rd app. They use it merely as a toy that they eventually get bored with and throw away. So yeah, I think Instagram might be in trouble too.

Yet the video that shows off the product on their web site has sound. Oh the irony...

on: Apple’s strategy leaked in a video…from 1988
Ahhh come on...This video is not some futuristic nonsense. It is almost like an engineered speculation. In the last decade Apple did nothing but implement this vision. In several cases, the implementation surpassed what Apple engineers thought was possible in 1988.

on: Siri; The Artificial Intelligence Revolution has begun
I am just asking for an example in A.I world that is an N.P. hard problem which makes real world applications of A.I. difficult?

I think we crossed an important treshhold with Siri though. For the first time, we have a consumer product that uses artificial intelligence. What kind of problems are you specifically talking about.

on: Steve Jobs’ best is yet to come
Clearly, some other company can beat Apple in this game. But what I am speculating is that A.I. is going to be the next big thing. Siri is the first mainstream use of A.I. Even if another company might be the winner in the A.I. race which just began, Siri's public introduction will be remembered much like Apple II's or the first Mac's.

The Apple finish being the operative words here...Or the Apple start should I say...

I wager that the difference between Apple's implementation and others will be as vast as the difference between an iPhone and a Nokia Communicator.

Hi. Author here. I am aware that Siri is not started at Apple. However, the point is that it will be finished by Apple. Steve Jobs did not invent cell phones, tablets or PC's for that matter, either. But he made them better. The same will happen to Siri.
