Citing the $2.5B breakup fee, this guy doesn’t believe Google’s buying Motorola for “defensive patents.” Very intriguing arguments, although I have no real way to evaluate them. Via @TimOReilly.
Ma Bell’s plan for AT&T-Mo LTE.

Google+ unveiled, has long-denied Circles feature, which Facebook should absolutely steal immediately.
Google also built a nifty Flash-to-HTML5 tool.
Farhad Manjoo’s argument for a cheaper iPhone only briefly addresses the fact that you can get a cheaper, slower iPhone–the 3GS–for $50. That said, it’s an interesting idea.
