[...] Michael Arrington can’t be as positive as he always sounds on TechCrunch, can he? Today’s “Mike’s true feelings” meter: How much distance is between him and the entrepreneurs he’s always photographed with? For instance, Mike’s keeping some distance from the Israeli businessmen pictured above (that’s him on the far right). But that one overlapped arm is just enough to say “I won’t run away. These guys have a chance.” [TechCrunch] [...]

[...] Their implementation are outright the opposite of innovative, it’s what I call regressional evolution. Yes…you can now ACCESS it on mobile but the experience…oh the user experience just stinks. It’s a step forward in the wrong direction (them and the brontosaurus will share the same fate soon). So what am I looking for?. Very simple solutions that seem as if they were born into a time that both land and water are a known facts TO BEGIN WITH. This is today. It’s the FUSION ERA. The Mobile, PC and TV are just interfaces; IP is the bearer….create a good vehicle…something like A HOVERCRAFT. Now this is the kind of innovation I have been looking for at Techcrunch, Mobile Crunch, etc.! [...]

[...] The Israeli scene has been extremely active as far as web 2.0 is concerned. Some of the activity has been echoes by Michael Arrington who visited Israel and hosted the Techcrunch lunch. Israel has been a telecommunications leader for a while now, and if you topple that with groing user centric maturity you get a favorite horse for winning some convergence races. Interestingly enough, more and more Israeli companies are drifting away from selling “technology enterprise products” and are embracing a user centric approach. Incredimail is one of my favorites in that respect. Incredimail’s founders were not afraid to take on the bully (Microsoft Outlook / Outlook express in their case). They were not afraid to take on a mature killer app (Email) and made it by making it fun and worthwhile for the end users. This, to me, is great inspiration. [...]

Had to happen. Mention the ‘I’ country and someone always comes out with some ill-researched, rant that masquerades as fact. So many want the Jews to just lay down and die quietly.
“The biggest national startup is the Berlinesque wall to seal off apartheid-style bantustans that stain our humanity.”
Where to begin….? I’ll let the Israeli Defence Forces answer this rubbish.
