Pandora goes public!

This really doesn't apply to me but i thought that it was Interesting that Pandora thought that it was time to go public. They now have a stock that you can buy shares of.

The Pandora company has really become popular. I wonder what kind of effect it will have on the over the air radio. Almost everyone has a smartphone with some kind of Internet connection. So instead of running up the radio they can just launch Pandora and get music catered for them.

On the subject of listing to Pandora while in your car, know what would be cool? If more cards started to just have Pandora built in. You have your FM1, FM2, and AM buttons on the radio; well now they should start to include a Pandora button. That would be cool!

Anyway, if you would like to check out the Pandora stocks their stock symbol on the NYSE is "P". You can check them out on Google Finance.

Cisco Drops The Flip Camera

Just this past week Cisco announced that they were going to discontinue their popular Flip Video Camcorder. There were no large reasons for this other then Cisco was plowing focus on what they were good at, Networking.

I think that this was a wise choice. First of all, The flip camera sucks. It's about $200 and doesn't even record stills. It also features a very awkward usage method. Also, nowadays all of out phones most likely record HD video. If you want better quality video then that of a cell phone camera you aren't going to be getting a Flip, you be getting a professional video camera that will probably cost not much more the the flip camera actually does.

Cisco was begging to veer away from what they were good at. Cisco is a well known Business Networking corporation. Every time you log onto the Internet there is a very good chance that you are lawsuit though a Cisco networking device at some point.

So all in all this was a good move on Cisco's behalf. I hope that they continue to ex-ell in their production of Networking products. The Flip is done for.
