Headline

Today, this headline came via Bloomberg (via @Jackbeckman):Amazon . com Tablet Share Fell to simply Over 4% 1Q Versus 16.8% in 4Q: IDCThat's a significant large share of the market collapse!I observed it must imply that the Amazon . com Tablet (the Amazon Kindle Fire) is one thing individuals will buy like a gift within the holidays, but will not buy themselves to really use.When individuals are purchasing pills on their own, they're buying Apple's iPad.It may sound just like a joke, but it is really in

We did not write that headline. We did not write the storyline below--CBS did.So don't blame us.And create inform us this is not a company story. Obviously it's.

This headline caught my eye this morning: US VCs Raised $7.7 Billion In Q1, Highest Influx In A Decade.
