Podcast
The Networked Economy (18:56 minutes)
Dynamic discounting proved to be a real game changer for Mediafly. "We
joke that it would be interesting if all of our customers leveraged
something like dynamic discounting," said CEO Carson Conant. "It would
be transformative for our business. It would drastically accelerate how
we can deploy cash. Then you think about it in terms of what could it do
for the economy."

Today's Story Highlights

Yahoo's Axis Strikes Alliance Between Desktop and Mobile
Yahoo on Thursday launched Axis, a new mobile browser and plug-in. It
lets users begin a search on a desktop and continue on iPhones and
iPads, or vice versa. It also offers a faster, smarter search with
instant answers and visual previews. Axis is offered both as a
standalone mobile browser for iOS devices and as a plug-in for desktop
browsers running HTML5.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Smartphone
If your device is having difficulty completing tasks like file
downloading, it's a dead giveaway that it needs some maintenance. We're
used to the idea of spending a bit of time running hard disk
defragmentation, spyware scans and other tools on our PCs, but we may
not be so au fait with what's needed on the limited-memory phones and
PC-substituting tablets we're using daily.

Europeans Bet Big Against Facebook
Today in international tech news: A large number of European traders are
placing bets that Facebook's stock will continue to tumble in the coming
months. Also: Google defends itself against accusations from the EU, a
longtime Research In Motion executive steps down, a Latvian firm is
ordered to pay a fine after duping people into downloading fake apps,
and an Apple designer is knighted.

Google's Astonishing Android About-Face
It can sometimes feel like there's a surprise around every corner here
in the Linux blogosphere, but it's not often we get to see a company the
size of Google make a dramatic shift. That, however, is just what last
week afforded when reports emerged that Google would take a markedly
different approach to the launch this fall of Android 5.0, or "Jelly
Bean."

How Apple's Product Cycles Torture Customers Into Loving It
Apple MacBook Pro rumors, and to a lesser extent iMac, MacBook Air and
Mac Pro rumors, have been flying around fast and furious these days, and
all it's doing is stoking my fire for a new MacBook Pro. Every Tuesday,
which seems to be Apple's favorite day of the week for announcing new
products, I anxiously wait to see the Apple Online Store go down and a
press release to appear.

Motorola Dreams Up a Sweeter TV Interface
Motorola Mobility this week unveiled its DreamGallery video navigation
software for content providers at a cable industry trade show.
DreamGallery lets users search hundreds of channels in seconds, bookmark
and store their favorite content in one place, and discover new content
tailored to their preferences.

Plenty of Nail-Biting Moments Ahead for SpaceX Mission
After last weekend's delayed launch, the Falcon 9 rocket built by SpaceX
blasted off Tuesday, carrying the unmanned Dragon capsule into low-Earth
orbit.While the launch itself could have been considered breathtaking,
there will be more "hold your breath" moments ahead. The next one will
come on Thursday when the craft is scheduled to dock with the
International Space Station.
