The Unbubble?

One is tempted to view events like the latest see-and-be-seen geekfest as a sure a sign as any that we are bubbling away, but the chatter over the demise of Kiko, a death that some see as a sign of the Borg-ishness (Borg-itude?) of Google, has me thinking that this time the Googles of the world will keep the market honest by deflating market silliness with well-timed “build-not-buy” decisions.
