Media Appearances

Wearables will be everywhere at CES, I said last week on the eve of the big gadget show. “Everyone wants to be the next Apple watch,” I told Fox Business, “but unfortunately we’re going to have to wait for the Apple Watch to come out.” And as everyone knows, Apple doesn’t do CES. I also […]

I was on “Opening Bell” with Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday morning, shortly before Amazon announced its Kindle Fire smartphone. Here’s what I had to say. I got some of it right!   Watch the latest video at video.foxbusiness.com

I spent some time at the studios of KRON-4 TV here in San Francisco on Friday evening, chatting with Catherine Heenan about that day’s launch of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C and answering reader questions. Thanks to Gabe Slate for inviting me on!

This story, from last week, appeared earlier on VentureBeat and on LinkedIn Today, where it’s generated a ton of commentary. I also did a video on the topic with KRON-4 TV, embedded here. You can only put so many dents in the universe. This week, Apple unveiled a respectable upgrade of its iPhone li

KGO’s Jonathan Bloom came by VentureBeat’s office yesterday to interview me about Yahoo’s new logo. Here’s his video! And here’s Jonathan’s writeup on the new logo, including some great man-on-the-street interviews and a classic reaction from the head of the Academy of Art’s design school. It’s a go

I spent half an hour in front of some video cameras at Revision3’s SF studio on Friday, with host Patrick Norton and fellow guest Mike Elgan, of ComputerWorld. We talked about Microsoft’s big reorg (and whether Ballmer was killing the company or not), the NSA’s PRISM program, the upcoming Def Con co

Just before the holiday, my friend and former boss Jim Louderback invited me to appear on his video show, downLOADED, to talk about the week’s top tech stories. To my surprise, Redg Snodgrass — another friend, who has worked with VentureBeat off and on over the past two years — was the other guest.

“It’s not working! Oh my god! Where did everybody go? It’s like being deprived of your oxygen or something.” I used those immortal words to describe the experience of being unable to access Twitter for about an hour last week. Jonathan Bloom at ABC 7 here in the Bay Area interviewed me last week abo

MakerBot from Venturebeat on Vimeo. Is there anything more American than a robot that can create anything you want out of a spool of plastic and some electricity? It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that 3D printers offer levels of Jeffersonian self-reliance that our founding fathers only dreamed

Anyone can pick most interesting phones of 2011, but it takes real foolhardiness to predict the most revolutionary products of the coming year. Call me a fool. I’m placing bets on these five products that will revolutionize technology in 2012. I made these predictions recently in a TV segment on Blo

I have a cameo in the Monty Python-esque introduction to this video that I’m rather proud of, goofy as it is. The week in review: Jobs’ last words, Siri’s rough week & Google+’s last stand | VentureBeat.

I get to play Rambo in this video, which showcases some of the office warfare weaponry Wired recently tested. My favorite: the Z-Curve Bow. The video’s webpage is here, and talented intern Christina Bonnington wrote a the roundup review of office weapons.
