PayPal co-founder and CTO, founder and CEO of Slide, entrepreneur Max Levchin chats about his past successes and future strategies. Plus Om and Joyce rip through the Hitlines: Ringles, IBM Joins OpenOffice, Can Barcelona Save AMD?
Max Levchin, PayPal Founder and now Slide Founder and CEO.
Hitlines:
5. Ringles - wtf? Can record companies revive the CD single by combining a hit song with a ring tone and another song or two? Expect Sony BMG (the ringle is its brainchild) and Universal Music Group to be first out of the gate with ringles this October.
4. IBM Joins OpenOffice: says "it will have 35 programmers working on the OpenOffice code and it will contribute software to improve the product for people with disabilities." Watch out Microsoft Office?
3. Immunity for Illegal Wiretapping? So what if a Telco didn't have a legit warrant when it assisted that government agency... the White House is pushing Congress for retroactive immunity.
2. Ericsson partners with Earth Institute The goal? Bring mobile phones and Internet access to 400,000 people in 10 countries in Africa.
1. AMD releases new chip: AMD has a set of quad core processors. Can the new chips save AMD?
