It’s being reported that a search for a new Nokia CEO had been ongoing since at least May, and it seems that Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo’s replacement has now been found.

It’s not completely surprising this has happened as Facebook is a notorious time vortex. Many of Google’s sites, like the search pages, are used to find information and lead the user to other sites. Facebook is all about bringing information into one place to keep users there.

Kno Movie from Kno, Inc. on Vimeo . Big players have tried and failed to bring out a “textbook replacement” e-reader. Kno won’t be shipping their entry until Christmas at the earliest, but it’s a serious candidate that’s worth a second look. Kno’s form factor is essentially two slightly-oversized iPads on a giant 180-degree hinge.
