Good morning! Tech news:

  1. Google revealed "Android Wear," which is Android designed for wearable devices like watches. So far there are no Android Wear-powered watches yet, but by the summer a few companies will have them.
  2. Motorola is the first to make an Android-based watch, and it actually looks decent.
  3. Analyst Benedict Evans weighs in on Android Wear and compares it to Apple's reported Healthbook application.
  4. Another person rented out their home to Airbnb and had disaster strike. A woman rented her New York penthouse to a guest, and when she came home it was trashed. Airbnb's ultimate goal is to be an end-to-end hospitality service. Before it gets there, it needs to fix these horror stories.
  5. Sony announced a virtual reality headset for the PS4. This competes with Oculus Rift which has been getting a lot of buzz.
  6. Here's a great analysis of what's wrong with all the big music subscription services. Spotify charges ~$120 per year for music. But the average person only spends $45-$66 buying albums and songs. Spotify is asking them to pay ~2X what they normally do.
  7. Tim Cook decided to comment on the new book about Apple, "Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs." He called it nonsense, and said it failed to capture Apple or Steve Jobs. It's strange that Cook made a comment, but he must be very angry about the book.
  8. We're not saying this is going to happen, but ... here is the worst case scenario for Apple's future.
  9. Twitter's dream is for you to always be tweeting while you're watching TV. It says that 33% of its users tweet during shows, and that 95% of public conversations about TV happen on Twitter.
  10. There was a rally for people that work at startups and don't get enough equity in the company. The person on stage said we need a "Rosa Parks moment" so they can get $1 million in stock to live comfortably in Palo Alto.
