Internet
Two quick notes. One: IBM’s “Watson” computer beating humans at Jeopardy has people yearning to use the technology in Finance. Really?? Two: South Koreans may get one gigabit per second Internet in every household by 2012. Any Brazilian paying almost US$ 100 for half-decent connections is certainly thinking about how much time this country has lost…
We came across a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation on the media usage of 8 to 18-year-olds and it’s loaded with interesting stats (highlights inside). Some things translate to Brazil better than others, and this report is full of “traps” in that regard. Overall, it’s quite useful for those interested in Media and Tech.
The Wall Street Journal has a nice piece today on Google’s option repricing bonanza now that the stock is back to the US$ 500′s. Not a second too soon, not a bit exaggerated.
