Moving Tech’s Moral Compass From The Inside Is Harder Than It Looks

Microsoft Likely To Break Out A Bigger, Not Smaller, Surface Tomorrow Morning
Tomorrow in New York, Microsoft is holding a Surface-themed event that was expected for a time to include the unveiling of a new, smaller Surface device -- the Surface Mini as it was dubbed by the media.

This company, which was in stealth, put up a… Read More -
Inside Jobs: What It Takes To Be The PR Lead At A Startup
When a tech company makes the news, the public usually sees the names of a few people: tech executives and the journalist who wrote the story.

Glass Half Empty

The search giant, in a joint-celebration over the 40th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube (??), has today launched its own Instagram account. So far there is one video post, showing today's time-sinking Google Doodle. In other words, Google's first Instagram is kind of, sort of (though not technically), a regram. Come on… Read More -
