Image via CrunchBase That is the obvious point. Facebook search necessarily has to be social, relying on data Facebook already has. Of course.

This is tremendous news, although I don't understand why elementary and secondary education is not the primary focus of these online education disruptors.

Nexus 4 (Photo credit: chrispaton) My Christmas gift to me was a seven inch tablet I bought online. It arrived promptly on the 24th. Now looks like my Nexus 4 gets to me on the last day of the month. Could not have imagined a better New Year gift. I am excited.


I am already in line for a bendable phone, though.
