Google+ needs iPhone more than Android
Google has a problem, and it’s all about commitment and addiction. The release of Google+ for iPhone v2.0 today has already got Android lovers up in arms, furious at what they see as favoritism for the rival platform.

Tim Cook trashes convergence as “not pleasing to the user”
Apple CEO Tim Cook has dismissed the prospect of a laptop/tablet hybrid product, saving a little snark for touchscreen ultrabooks as pushed by Microsoft and Intel.
