I' ve written extensively about iAds here and here , and one question I raised has to do with Apple's policies with regard to third party data and ad networks, in particular AdMob. As All Things Digital notes today , Apple this week "clarified" its policy with regard to third party networks, and it's hard to read it as anything other than a direct declaration of war with Google.

The reality of working with companies to help unlock the value of collaboration is that you are typically working behind their firewalls, unable to connect with the outside world. I’ve just spent a great deal of time last week working in Europe in the locked down environments of global companies, talking to various constituents exploring [.

Dale Okuno is one of our investors at CitySourced. He’s also one of my mentors and close friends. To give some context, Dale is very level headed and recently sold his company to Ebix, a Nasdaq traded company. He built it from scratch up to nearly 400 employees. Dale and I recently took a road trip up to Mammoth a few weeks ago and in the car on the ride up he started telling me about this book called “The Power of Now&# by Eckart Tolle and how it was one the most profound books he&#

and I mean that. Watching Jobs work his way through nearly 90 minutes of interview and audience questions , I really felt, for the first time, a sense of how strongly the guy feels for his work and his products. Then again, I found myself angry, several times. Angry when he championed the press as crucial to democracy, and implied the iPad would save our country from "descending into a nation of bloggers" (my view: we started as a nation of bloggers - pamphleteers like Thomas Paine).

Open redirectors are a contentious issue. Old-school hackers think anyone who thinks they are serious is on drugs. New-school hackers are more evenly divided. I haven't yet seen a public, balanced list of reasons why you should be worrying about other problems. Here it is. For now, I'll concentrate on the central idea that open redirectors permit domain obfuscation and therefore facilitate phishing etc.

I wrote perhaps the first ever piece on Foo back in late 2003 , and I've been trying to make it every year since. It's quite a confab. Today I asked a number of the folks I ran into the same question: "Is Apple a part of the Web?

you just have to rethink what "search" really means. Last night Jobs said he had no interest in search. I am quite certain what he meant is he has no interest in HTML, "traditional" search. But think about what search really is, and I am certain, Apple will be in the search business. Why? Well, as I said in the last post on the iPad (and rather hurriedly, and entirely my fault, poorly communicated to many of those who left comments), it's all about the link.

Last weekend the news was conjecture about Facebook doing web search, today, the news is conjecture about Google doing social networks. All of this has been sparked by two well known Valley guys opining on samesaid.Kevin Rose, CEO of Digg, tweeted that Google was working on a "Google Me" social network (he since was "asked to take down his tweet" by someone.) and then a former Facebook employee answered a related question on his own Q&A service, Quora.

I'm not an Android user, yet (working on that), but if this piece is even halfway true, Google needs to respond, quickly, with a plan to fix the Android app store. I've heard over and over that Android's user experience, when it comes to apps, is terrible, and it's a major reason why folks love Apple. Signal over noise. Noise and dirt are essential to the web, but there's no reason why they have to overrun it.

Google today announced another step in its protracted divorce from China - to satisfy regulatory and license requirements, it's no longer directly serving results from its Hong Kong based (and uncensored) engine onto its Google.cn site. Instead, it's directing users to the Hong Kong site, in essence, creating one more click for users to go through before accessing its service.
