MobileViews Podcast 203: Plastc rant, Microsoft To-Do, USAFacts.org, & Google Earth for the web

  1. New Google Earth for the web
  2. New Microsoft To-Do (was Wunderlist)
  3. Ballmer Discovers joys of open data. USAFacts.org
  4. Coin’s competitor, Plastc, announced it’s filing for Chapter 7, and the cards that Jon pre-ordered (for a hefty sum, $150) will never ship. No idea if any money will ever make it back to the backers. And while Jon’s pretty irked about the loss of money, he’s hopeful that maybe this means electronic payments via cell phones / watches will eventually replace credit cards. Jon first mentioned Coin back in Podcast 69
