This enrages me. I will spare you the rant, but bubble gum flavored apple snacks?
This is not shopped because a friend actually took a picture of this (not as clear as this one)
There’s a website claiming it has all the goodness of regular applesSo apples can’t just taste like apples anymore….
I don’t even know how to facepalm at this.
At the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston they are restoring and cleaning a 300 year old painting. “the allegory of Justice”. by Gerrit van Honthorst. They started last year and are giving updates of the restoration progress.
The color difference of 3 centuries of grime that the conservators removed from Honthorst’s masterpiece can be seen in the detail above.
The image below shows a paint sample from the masterpiece and indicates that the painting has been repainted several times in efforts to restore it. The conservators have now revealed the original paint.
Why Google and Facebook Might Completely Disappear in the Next 5 Years
The bottom line is that the next 5 – 8 years could be incredibly dynamic. It’s possible that both Google and Facebook could be shells of their current selves – or gone entirely.
They will have all the money in the world to try and adapt to the shift to mobile but history suggests they won’t be able to successfully do it. I often hear Google bulls point to the market share of Android or Eric Schmidt’s hypothesis that Google could one day charge all Android subscribers $10 a month for value-added services as proof of future profits. Yet, where are all the great social success stories by Web 1.0 companies? I imagine we’ll see as many great examples of social companies jumping horses mid-race to become great mobile companies.
Considering how long Facebook dragged its feet to get into mobile in the first place, the data suggests they will be exactly as slow to change as Google was to social. Does the Instagram acquisition change that? Not really, in my view. It shows they’re really fearful of being displaced by a mobile upstart. However, why would bolting on a mobile app to a Web 2.0 platform (and a very good one at that) change any of the underlying dynamics we’re discussing here?
It’s a lot easier to start asking Siri for information instead of typing search terms into a box compared to thousands of enterprises ceasing to upgrade to the next version of Windows. Google’s 76% market share. Facebook’s 900 million monthly users. They just aren’t as sticky as they seem.
And does anyone think the pace of change is going to increase in the next 5 years versus the last? That we’re going to see fewer innovations, fewer start-ups trying more stuff on cheaper and more powerful processing power? In all likelihood, we could have an entirely new way of gathering information and interacting with ads in a new mobile world than what we’re currently used to today.
The Googles and Facebooks of tomorrow might not even exist today. And several Web 1.0 and 2.0 companies might be completely wiped off the map by then.
Fortunes will be made by those who adapt to and invest in this complete greenfield.
Those who own the future are going to be the ones who create it. It’s all up for grabs. Web monopolies are not as sticky as the monopolies of old.
