Eric Schmidt's resignation from the Apple board made it pretty clear—as did the FTC—it was time for Apple and Google to sever corporate ties. That didn't stop Art Levinson from clinging to his joint board membership until today. More » -

Is the Cliq a Way For Motorola To Sell Its Phone Division?
Remember when Motorola told everyone that they wanted to spin off that lame-o mobile division of theirs? Still hasn't happened! Motorola isn't depending on the Cliq to revive their phone business; they're depending on it to ditch their phone business. More » -

Cool Visualization Shows World's Spending On Electronics By Country (We Spend A Lot)
Here we see ol' Mercator, if country sizes were drawn according to the amount of discretionary income spent on electronics by its citizens. As the world's largest economy, the US being the biggest blob here at $162 billion for 2007 is not that surprising. But what might be surprising is Japan, who spends more on recreation than clothing, household items and electronics combined—pretty interesting for such a style- and gadget-conscious nation. Also note central Europe's electronics spending, which is clearly becoming a force to be reckoned with if IFA in Berlin was any indication. Head over to the NYTimes for more playing with this cool little flash data visualization with other categories of spending. [NYTimes via Boing Boing]
