Topic 1:<\/p>\n
Boom! Attorneys general from 48 states plus Puerto Rico and Washington, DC have joined together in a huge antitrust investigation of Google. (California and Alabama are not joining them.)<\/p>\n
We have a lively discussion about this, where it came from, and where we think it’s going.<\/p>\n

Dave takes a victory lap on voice interfaces.<\/p>\n We talk about the implications for AI, digital transformation, and business generally.<\/p>\n Relevant Link: Topic 3:<\/p>\n Apple had an announcement that we ignored last week. We extend that by ignoring it this week. Instead we talk about Apple turning into a services company. The new phone is . . . fine. But the real story is Apple getting $400-500 per user per year in service revenue. Taking on Netflix in a price war.<\/p>\n And then we wander off into Netflix, HBO, Disney, and entertainment competition generally.<\/p>\n As always, we have fun and try to draw some conclusions for all the IT Pros out there.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Topic 1: Boom!
