CHART OF THE DAY: The Kindle Is Starting To Be Big Part Of Amazon's Business (AMZN)

Amazon's Kindle business is slowly starting to develop into something material.

Read it with a grain of salt because it's based on estimates, but Citigroup analyst Mark Mahaney says Kindle eReaders and Kindle eBooks will contribute 10% of Amazon's sales by the end of next year.

That's $6.1 billion in sales based on 26 million Kindles, and 752 million ebooks sold.

Why Isn’t Google Chrome A Part Of Android?

Over the past couple of years covering Google, there's one seemingly simple question that comes up again and again, that Google just can't seem to answer. Why isn't Chrome a part of Android? Read the wrong way, that could seem like a deep question. But it almost never means "why isn't Chrome OS simply merged with Android?" or the like. Most of the time, it's simply a question wondering why Google's very popular web browser is not a part of their very popular mobile operating system? After all, that OS has a browser (the aptly-named "Browser"), but it's not Chrome. Why not?

Slashgeo: Being Part of a Spatial Community

As much important as the job we do, is with whom we do it. Our work environment matters. What also matters to most of us is feeling part of a larger community, in that case, the geospatial community. Yesterday, I felt part of it again for a few hours. It was the welcoming event of this week's OSGeo Montreal Code Sprint 2011.

Comment on The Web Worker’s Advantage, Part 2: Flexibility (and the Freedom to Wear Pajamas) by Adam Bluhm

I agree that flexibility is one of the major perks. For example, yesterday morning I had a major headache and just could not concentrate as much as I wanted so I decided to take an early and long lunch break. Instead of forcing myself to work when I was less than productive, I was able to take that time to relax and then work some extra time in the evening. I appreciate the "give and take".
