His take:
Why, Google? Why take a perfectly wonderful email system and pollute it by adding a zillion new things to it? I’m not looking for more clutter in my life. I’m looking for less. At the launch event some Google exec claimed Buzz is a way to “find the signal in the social neworking noise,” but to me it just looks like Google is adding to the noise.
Why does Buzz...

iPad launch
Ok, so here’s my reaction to the (poorly named) iPad. Several people I know immediately reacted to the Apple iPad launch with a basic thought of:
it looks cool, but I can’t see what I’d use this for.
