- PublicCorning has released another viral "future of glass" video. These are the guys who make the chemically treated glass that covers an iPhone.
The five-and-a-half minute spot gave more than 17 million viewers a futuristic glimpse at the ways glass could be used in day-to-day life, from tablet screens to home appliances to car dashboards to bus-stop poster panels. The video shows a shiny happy family interacting with the touch-friendly surfaces in a world that I can only guess has flawless, perpetual Internet connectivity.

I see that Facebook is a little frustrated with state of Windows Phone today. I guess it is right move for them. And I am also more than one hundred percent sure that it's not gadget I'll ever get

- PublicLaura Arrillaga-Andreessen Chatted with our very own +Kara Swisher about her new book, Giving 2.0. Kara got down to business in her usual style, with a quick video as well.
Arrillaga-Andreessen teaches philanthropy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and is the wife of Silicon Valley uber-venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.
Arrillaga-Andreessen uses the book to work through some thoughts on what charitable giving should become -- regardless of its scale.

- PublicWSJ's +Julia Angwin , +Shayndi Raice and +Spencer Ante have said that Facebook and the FTC are nearing an agreement about Facebook's privacy policies.
Specifically, the agreement would force Facebook to make all future privacy changes "opt in," rather than "opt out."
The investigation was fueled in part by outcry over the last major privacy settings overhaul Facebook did, which automatically made things...

I don't understand why people have circled +Mark Zuckerberg on google+ he never posts anything publicly and probably never will. In all likelihood, he won't even see this.
Even on his facebook page until very, very recently he hasn't posted anything publicly. Yet alters privacy settings, to make the facebook experience more 'open'.

- PublicEveryone in the tech press is working up posts on "the death of Flash," and trying to divine what it means.
It's tough to nail down when Flash became terminal. It wasn't yesterday's plug pull by Adobe, and it wasn't the iPad launch (though that probably was a contributing factor.)
Several of the body blows were dealt by this man. Here's a video of Steve Jobs talking about why Flash is bad for you, back at our D8 conference in 2010.

Expand this comment »+Randal Lovelace I'm not the 'average' computer user.
Nor am I. The machine I'm using at the moment is a homebuilt desktop, multi-booting two flavors of Windows and Linux. Sitting next to it is an old notebook multing booting Windows, two flavors of Linux and FreeDOS. Sitting under it is a decomissioned Dell rack mount server running a flvopr of Windows Sever, and a decommisioned rackmount Sun box running Solaris 9. Under the computer table is an old PowerMac waiting for me to install OS X 10.2 (the last version that will run on it). And there's the SO's laptop running Win 7, and my old but treasured AT&T 3B1, a single user workstation based on a Motorola MC68010 CPU, running a port of Unix System V Release 2. (I still have my old XT clone running MS-DOS 5 on a shelf, but I won't count it - it hasn't actually been booted in years.)
Upgrades really aren't that big an issue here. Windows is set to auto-update (but not on the Win2K installations, because ti no longer gets them.) Java and Flash are set to let me know when an update is available, but there's no particular urgency about doing it - being in the ballpark on versions is adequate. Critical updates for Windows and Linux get handled automatically, and the worst that is required is a reboot. The rest happens when it happens to be convenient.

- PublicAs our first post on Google+, which may currently be the geekiest of social media streams, we thought it might be fun to give our first new followers a peek inside AllThingsD, to see just how geek-tacular our staff truly is.
We recently had a nerd-down among the staff over just how vintage the computers in our possession are.
We grabbed a (rather large) screenshot of the whole conversation.
Enjoy, at your own geeky risk.
