Roger McNamee might think that we are in the midst of the revolution, but according to Microsoft Chief Strategy and Research Officer Craig Mundie, the race to become the dominant technology company of the digital age hasn’t really even begun yet.

The previously announced removal of Reviews and Discussions from application profile pages has now gone into effect. The removal of Reviews mainly affects developers that solicit reviews for their apps, such as game developers fishing for a five-star rating. By killing the Reviews feature, Facebook is signaling a commitment to surfacing “good” apps only  through social discovery .

We’re here at Mr.Brainwash’s Studios in Los Angeles, waiting for a Google “special event” to start at 2pm PST, where the company is most likely going to announce the Google Music store, because that’s what everybody and their mother is saying.
