Google pwns

I love when Steve Jobs makes comments. I love even more when those businesses respond (for example, the whole antenna debacle blame game). Jobs feels that his competitors are inflating their numbers now.

After throwing out Apple’s stats, Jobs said, “we think we’re ahead of everyone else,” because, “we think some our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers.”

Um, yeah, not so fast says Google.

Google has since responded saying, “The Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android devices in the market since we only include devices that have Google services.”

*Google sticks tongue out*

I wish this numbers game didn’t need to even be played. Always announcing perfectly round numbers to display sales and whatnot — we all know that both android and iOS devices are EVERYWHERE. We don’t need the exact number (or, well, a perfectly round number that is somewhere in the vicinity of the actual number).

Business Insider all over it.

Sorry I had to miss this

Deftones in Orlando last night. Starting to put together my own DVD of the show. Still bringing it after all these years. Next time, boys.

Bucs ink Heredia for $2.6 million. He is 16 years old and throws 94 mph.

Love it.

Jameson Taillon, beast

6’7″, 100 mph. The future, part II.

PITTSBURGH — He’s got the signing bonus. He’s seen the city and the ballpark for the first time. He’s gone through the typical photo shoot and news conference.

Now, all Jameson Taillon wants to do is play.

Neal Huntington, the look of a winner

Signs Stetson Allie. Signs Jameson Taillon. Now Luis Heredia. More than $13 million on three top shelf arms. All teenagers. The future.

Hopefully jersey pics will follow.

Stetson Allie, 2nd round pick of the Pirates. $2.25 million.

via Pirates.com:

PITTSBURGH — Joined by over a dozen family members and friends, Stetson Allie took the No. 10 Pirates jersey from general manager Neal Huntington, posed for a few pictures and then draped the jersey over his head.

It was — quite frankly — a moment the Pirates had feared would never happen.
