Health Tracking – Basis Watch

I’ve been pretty interested in tacking my health/activity for a while now. Unfortunately there have not been many great options that take out the manual tasks of writing things down yourself and organizing the information in a manner that helps with tracking. I want something that works as I go about my day, without the need to write, check, list my activities. The good news is that we’re closer than ever  to a solution to these problems.

There are few other devices available, but the biggest draw back is that they require you to change your behavior. And because of this they are not long term solutions.

The best thing about Basis watch is that you don’t have to change your behavior to use it. Looking forward to wearing it and seeing how the software and the hardware work together. If you’re using let me know how you like it and any tips to optimize the use.

Banned SodaStream Super Bowl Commercial

This commercial does not push boundaries for what’s acceptable on TV. The only thing that the commercial states is that you can save plastic bottles and enjoy making your own soda. By banning the commercial SodaStream is getting more press, more attention and will sell more of their product. In the process CBS looks like they hate change and any company that does not spend billions with them on advertising. This is a very bad move by CBS, SodaStream would have made Pepsi and Coca-Cola respond to the commercial and spend more money advertising. CBS showed once again that they only care about the short term and care about who is paying them the most at the moment. Not a good example of their corporate values, at a point where they already have had couple of black eyes. See CNET – The Dish Hopper.

I want to issue a challenge to please share/like the video for SodaStream. Let’s make this one of the most watched Super Bowl ads in the history. Let’s root for David, it’s the David’s in the world that make change happen.

Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft: Who Wins?

Recently I had a discussion with few friends about the big tech companies and which one would have the highest stock price in 2 years. The discussioneconomist-tech-battle was started because of the recent Economist story. All we cared about was the price. Nothing else. I picked Amazon, I think Jeff Bezos is the closest thing to Steve Jobs and he’s willing to make business decisions that no one else is. He’s got full control of his company and he’s in it for the long haul. I don’t see Apple as that anymore and the others have their positives and flaws.

What do you think? In Two years which company will have the highest stock price.
