I see where Andy Rubin said Google is building a "firewall" between the Android team and Motorola Mobility (link). That's exactly what we called it when Palm licensed out its OS, and actually the firewall worked pretty well. I'm sure Google can and will prevent information leaks between the Android team and the Motorola team. Those teams do not work in the same buildings (many of them are not even in the same state), so that's pretty easy to do.
Most PalmOS licensees didn't have big worries about our firewall. They wanted to know it was in place, and they were careful about sharing information with us, but we were able to work together. The reality is that if your OS is selling well, the licensees will put up with almost anything (look at the early history of Microsoft if you doubt me). And if sales slow down, no amount of firewalling will keep them loyal. Look at the, uh, more recent history of Microsoft in mobile.
The place where Palm had trouble (okay, one of the places) was that it could not figure out what to do when the financial interests of the OS conflicted with the financial interests of the hardware team. It wasn't about the firewall, it was about the corporate business goals. To put it in Google terms, what happens when a change to Android will hurt sales at Motorola Mobility?
Let's make up an example: Suppose that Motorola needs a new feature in the OS to support its next-generation product line. It has already started building the new devices, and has...say, $200 million in parts already ordered to build them. The orders cannot be canceled, and the parts will become obsolete if not used quickly. The Android team has trouble implementing the feature, and realizes that it will have to choose between the feature that Motorola needs and another feature that HTC needs for its next-generation products. It's a zero-sum game; there are only enough engineers to produce one of the features. Who wins? Will Google accept a writedown of $200 million to protect its promise to HTC?
This is not a theoretical question; tradeoffs like that happen all the time when you're developing an OS.
Want to guess how those questions were answered when Palm hardware and Palm OS were in the same company?
I think that's the real reason why Palm and PalmSource had to be separated, and I think that's the real question Android licensees are thinking about. Not is their information safe, but would Larry Page accept a financial bloodbath at Motorola to protect other Android licensees? If Google has addressed that question, I haven't seen the answer. It's a very hard question for any CEO because it pits the interests of Android licensees against Google shareholders.
None of this will drive away Android licensees, but I think it will affect the strength of their interest in also working with Microsoft -- which, when it abuses its licensees, tends to abuse all of them equally.

Information Overload: Several Different Problems Under a Single Name
I want to thank everyone who participated in the information management survey that I posted at the start of the year (link). The survey was long and complex, but more than 400 of you responded to it. I know you've got a busy life, and it was very nice of you to help.
Your responses helped to shape the work we're doing on Zekira, the new app being developed by the startup I'm working on. I have posted a summary of the survey findings here (link). I know you read Mobile Opportunity for tech industry commentary, so I'm going to continue to blog on that subject here (hopefully more frequently). I will post Zekira-related information at the Zekira weblog. If you're interested in information management issues, I hope you'll visit us there.
I think some of the survey results will be interesting to folks here, so let me give you a quick summary of the highlights.
In the tech industry, we talk a lot about information overload, but we haven't defined it very well. What I learned from the survey is that info overload means something slightly different to every person. It's not a thing, it's a range of problems caused by dealing with more information than you can hold in your head.
For some people the problem is too much e-mail. For others it's too many meetings. For still others, the biggest problem is finding a way to access the archive of old files and information they have accumulated over the years.
Some of you -- I guess I should say some of us -- have amassed truly awesome personal archives of information. Literally terabytes of data in some cases. Now if only we could get the information back out of them.
A few statistics on information overload:
--More than 40% of the respondents said they feel overwhelmed by the amount of information in their lives.
--About half of the respondents experience information overload several times a week, and about 15% experience it several times a day.
--20% of the respondents receive more than 25,000 e-mails every year.
--A quarter of the respondents receive more than 100 text messages a day.
--A third of the respondents have saved more than 100 gigabytes of business files in their personal archives.
One of the biggest challenges in creating a product to help with information overload is figuring out where to focus it. Which specific problem(s) do you want to solve? Which people care about those problems? And how do you put a dent in those problems with a startup's resources?
In the next few weeks we'll be talking about how we answered those questions. You can follow our progress at the Zekira weblog. And you can read more about the survey results here.
And again, many sincere thanks for your help.
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

*Peter A. Corning's thesis, The Synergism Hypothesis: A Theory of Progressive Evolution - "Synergistic effects have been the driver of cooperative relationships of all kinds and at all levels in living systems. In short, the synergistic effects have often provided functional advantages(economic benefits) in relation to survival and reproduction that have been favored by natural selection. The cooperating parts, elements, or individuals become, in effect, functional "units" of selection in evolutionary change. similarly, environmental systems may react in a non-linear way to perturbations, such as climate change, so that the outcome may be greater than the sum of the individual component alterations"

The Education of Auma Obama - Pan African Film & Arts Festival 2012
When Branwen Okpako (Director) picked up a camera and decided to tell the compelling story of her fellow classmate at Deutsche Film - und Fernsehakademie (dffb) - Auma Obama.
Auma Obama was born and raised in The Republic of Kenya,
East Africa, and educated in Europe, during the 90s. During this point in time, Auma felt the need to re-connect with her American born brother (born in the United States of America) who, at the time,
was a Community Activist on the South Side of Chicago - now currently the 44th President of the USA
- His Excellency Barack Obama.
Auma Obama welcomed her brother, the American son, home to his father's Native Land - Honey,
history was made!
You see, Auma Obama, President Obama's half- sister, is currently a Community Activist in Kenya,
a country that is rich in history, rich in culture and truly a place that shows via actions that the love of family is first and foremost.
The documentary shows first hand, how Auma Obama reached out across the watery deep, to America, to unite her brother, then known as a Community Activist in Chicago, President Barack Obama, with his Patrilineal family. This truly is an unpretentious look into the life of a woman that loves her family and her country; bridging the gap between the generations of Africans in America, re-connecting with the
African Diaspora via this documentary. Congratulations, Branwen Okpako, for winning the
Pan African Film & Arts Festival Founders' Award for Best Documentary!
Thank you, Ayuko Babu and Staff, for showing such a poignant documentary at the 20th Anniversary of the Pan African Film & Arts Festival ~ This video is the sole property of Black World Cinema,

It's A Lover's Holiday ~ Happy Valentines Day!
Ohhhhhhh, Love. So sweet. Like fine Chocolate ~
Speaking of which, last Saturday, I had the pleasure of being in the company of
Dr. Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, on their 45th anniversary. I must tell you, it was truly a delight to to spend time around a couple that truly likes each other, respects each other and loves one another.
I've asked around and talked to 50 couples who were married a minimum of 25 years, and the secret to a very happy relationship seems to be this; you have to work at it, Honey Child!
Each person in each relationship is unique, but there are a few very necessary ingredients that are required in building a strong foundation; Mutual respect, trust, adoration and the need to compromise.
Dr. Bernard and Shirley Kinsey just celebrated their 45th anniversary, and I had the pleasure of being there
Dr. Bernard Kinsey speaks so well of his other half, "She is my sun light, the love of my life."
Shirley Kinsey is a very accomplished,
well spoken, brilliant woman with a zest for life! When you look into her eyes, you see light.
The joy of her life is her family,namely, their son, Vice- President of The Kinsey Collection,
Khalil Kinsey also known in the Hip Hop Industry as Business Mogul, Diz Gibran.
Learning to love someone truly is about finding out what it is that you can bring to the table, and then finding someone to build with.
Dr. Kinsey says, "Find someone to love.
Find something to do, and do it often."
Happy Anniversary and thank you Dr. Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, for showing the globe what love looks like.
Smooches, Carla
(Happy Birthday, with love, Shirley Kinsey - Stevie Wonder style),

The evening was filled with so many surprises - good and bad. It was Saturday evening when first we heard that Whitney Houston passed at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. God knows that we did not want that to be true.
Whitney Houston, by far, touched so many lives over the past 30 years. From her first album/cd @ Arista Records, produced by Micahel Masser, Narada Michael Walden, Kashif and Jermaine Jackson, was released in February 1985 - entitled, "Whitney Houston".That album topped the charts of Billboard 200 album charts and stayed there for 14 non-consecutive weeks. The single, "Greatest Love of All" was the first album by a female: #1 hits on the Hot 100 chart, #1 on the Billboards for 14 weeks, #1 Artist - Billboard year-end charts(1986). Whitney Houston also worked with Preston Glass and Narada Michael Walden on several projects, including the album "Love Is A Contact Sport" 1987(Arista Records) There are millions of people around the globe sending up prayers and their condolences to Bobbi Kristina Brown, Sissy Houston. R.I.P. Whitney Houston. We love you!
