Been searching for that new tablet on Google lately? If so, Google may recommend, via Google Now, when you are near a store that carries it. They will even conveniently tell you the price. In one sense, this is the oldest rule of retail: the impulse purchase. High margin impulse purchase items with high turnover are kept near the front of the store, tempting you to snag that candy bar or soft drink you’ve been thinking about since you saw it on the way in.

I’m not going to lie, seeing Nintendo floundering as they have recently makes me sad. This is a company that was a part of so many of our childhoods that just can’t seem to figure out how to pull themselves together. Bloomberg is reporting that Nintendo has posted an even greater 4th quarter loss than analysts forecast, even after slashing expectations significantly.

Last week ComiXology, a digital comic books distribution platform, made some changes in the way they do business. They uploaded a new app to the Apple App Store to replace the app that they have had up for some time. The changes that were made were not minimal. They stripped out the in app purchase (IAP) system that they had been using and put in a cloud syncing option so that users could log in to the Comixology.com website to make purchases and then sync them to the app. Unsurprisingly, some people were upset.

It’s no secret that Chromebooks are fast becoming popular. They’re lightweight in hardware and software but most importantly, they’re affordable. And without a doubt Chromebooks have put a significant shiner on the face of Microsoft powered hardware. So Microsoft is finding itself in a place where it needs a new strategy and it looks like they may be testing that today.

Just in case you’re not familiar, Star Wars is an epic space opera that takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” as the famous opening crawl explains.

Let’s start this off by saying this is a HUGE unconfirmed accusation that could very likely be an internet troll times ten. That being said, it was hard to ignore this posting on Pastebin accusing Google of basically stealing and abusing their relationship with AdSense publishers. For those who are not familiar with AdSense, it is Google’s advertising platform which many websites, including this one, use on a daily basis. Google places ads in websites on the behalf of advertisers, and both the publisher and Google receive a certain amount from those ads.
