Data Only SIM + SkypeIn - today it's a hack,... →
VC Fred Wilson describes how he’s using Skype, a new number and Kik for his European travel - soon he can just use hookflash and his LinkedIn directory: work, life, simplified “May 17 2012 I’ve been in London all week. When I arrived at Heathrow I bought a data only SIM in the vending machine in baggage claim. My friend Simon suggested I set up a new Skype account and get a...

Where are we going? Steve Jobs, Wayne Gretzky and...
Steve Jobs gave a glimpse into the concept he believed in at the end of the Macworld Conference and Expo in January 2007 by quoting hockey legend Wayne Gretzky:     “There’s an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. ‘I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.’ And we’ve always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we...

Original 1876 Patent of the telephone by Bell, not... →
Two people talking on a wire, not really a lot of material innovation since then. Automatic switching was a breakthrough but different technology. Wireless really just moved Bell’s concept to radio. And VoIP inexplicably keeps being used to emulate 135 year old technology. Not suprising that it took an outlier like Skype to bring real innovation to communications by integrating VoIP with...

how is Hookflash different than Skype?
One of the most common questions we get asked of hookflash is “how is it different from Skype™? We could write extensively about this but Alice Waters, one of America’s most revered chefs, frames an answer perfectly in the intro to her Chez Panisse Cookbook: “ Food must be experienced and I worry that writing about it may not make the sense I want it to. I wish I could just sit people down and...

Video: Get on the #WebRTC bus or get run over!
#Hookflash video call with Cullen Jennings (aka Fluffy - Chair for the  IETF Working Group - RTCWEB) today. We discussed many items on the hit list for WebRTC / RTCWEB and the recent IETF 83 meeting in Paris, held last month.

The trivialization of place
iPass reported on the mobile workforce in 2010. They predicted “the trivialization of place will increase.” That resonates with our Hookflash experience. From the report: The New York Times had an interesting article last summer titled “Forget What You Know about Good Study Habits.” It turns out that simply alternating the room improves retention. Take this theory and apply it to the...

RTCWEB / WebRTC video codec debate
There is a storm brewing in the IETF and W3C in relation to video codecs to be included by the browser vendors et al, as part of the proposed RTCWEB standard. I applaud the recent plea by Dean Willis @dean_willis, who proposed that we agree on a mandatory baseline codec that is not encumbered by royalties or potential IPR issues… In today’s meeting I made a plea for a mandatory...
