Square Stand →
It sure looks cool and I do enjoy shopping at retail establishments that accept Square, but $500 (iPad) + $300 (stand) + 2.75% per swipe is pretty pricy for a small business, no? And this not including a cash draw.

Dish chairman Charlie Ergen fired back at SoftBank CEO in a interview with USA Today:
If you have to lead tens of thousands of employees, culture matters… We’re more culturally and geographically aligned with Sprint.
Your company’s culture sucks. If you are implying that Sprint’s company culture is just as bad, then yes you are aligned with Sprint. Being...

55.6% Of Smartphone Activations on Verizon In Q1... →
Of that 55.6%, 2 million were iPhone 5s and 2 million were made up of iPhone 4 and 4S sales. It will be interesting to see if Apple will dominiate sales on all four major carriers in the US now that T-Mobile also carries the iPhone.

Twitter #Music Is Now Live →
It’s a music discovery service as I suspected and not a free music streaming service. The songs on Twitter #music will come from their partners: Spotify, iTunes and Rdio. It’s available as an iPhone app or a web app.

Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft VP of corporate communications:
I tuned into the coverage of the Facebook Home event yesterday and actually had to check my calendar a few times.

David Pierce reviewing the Ouya for The Verge:
If I were one of the 60k people that already spent $100 and are receiving the device now, I would be pretty mad. The controller needs some refining, the store needs a lot more games, and Ouya desperately needs developers of all kinds to buy into the platform. I don’t know if and when any of those are going to happen, but don’t buy this...
