Wow, these have been a couple of crazy days: First Samsung announced a new operating system for mobile devices called Bada - that will compete directly with Google's Android - and the next day Google announces the creation of a new programming language, supposedly a cross between Python and C++, called Go.

It looks like today every company is trying to spread like a freaking octopus in every possible direction. Does this contradict the usual startup talks about focusing in a specific niche and being really good at it, or is it just that - as companies grow - the niche is no longer enough to buy ferraris for every manager? ;)
