KimDotCom

KimDotCom

By Colin Berkshire on April 12, 2013

It’s very rare when an individual raises to the level that they are worth listening to. Steve Jobs was one of those people. Kim Dotcom may be another…I’m watching to see. He is certainly one of the most entertaining individuals of all time. From his hot-tub parties to his paratroopers descending from helicopters in a [...]

802.11ac is Almost Here

802.11ac is Almost Here

By Colin Berkshire on March 20, 2013

802.11ac will start appearing in force in products this year. It is the latest and greatest Wi-Fi standard that will replace 802.11a, b, and g. It will receive final approval this year. Now, considering how long it has taken the working group, and how many man hours they have put into it that it would solve [...]

Is Apple Vindictive and Evil?

By Colin Berkshire on November 12, 2012

Apple has not won all of its lawsuits. In fact, other than one big jury award it has for the most part been losing cases. Certainly, outside of the “home court advantage” here in America it has done rather poorly. In an especially humiliating loss outside of the US, Apple was instructed to modify its [...]

Why Competition Is So Bitter in SaaS:  Oligopolies and Dominant Strategy Equilibriums

Why Competition Is So Bitter in SaaS: Oligopolies and Dominant Strategy Equilibriums

By Jason M. Lemkin on October 2, 2012

Perhaps the oddest thing about the Apple-Google “go thermonuclear” strategy to SaaS guys is that it is so odd at all.  Competition-to-the-almost-death seems the norm in SaaS.  Just look at Larry Ellison or Marc Benioff.  You can see the blood lust in their eyes, in every speech, in a way you never really saw/see in [...]

Apple iPhone 5 – Meh

Apple iPhone 5 – Meh

By Dave Michels on October 1, 2012

The iPhone 5 is breaking all iPhone sales records, another hit on their hands. Or not? I think it’s the beginning on long slide south for Apple. Yes, it is going to sell well. Very well. So why is Apple going to decline? Two very simple irrefutable reasons: What Goes Up Must Come Down, and [...]

Has Apple Peaked?

Has Apple Peaked?

By Zoli Erdos on September 25, 2012

You probably think I am out of my mind – well … hm… no comment.  But yes I agree it’s close to madness  to discuss Apple’s decline right on the heels of a record-breaking iPhone 5 launch and a stock price that despite some correction is still a rocketship.  But bear with me for a [...]

Why Your Presentations Suck!

Why Your Presentations Suck!

By Adron Hall on June 11, 2012

Ok, so everybody’s presentations don’t suck. But the vast majority of them do. I know I’m not the first person to make this statement. I’d include a list of others who have said it but it would take more space than my entire blog does. Take this example slide deck from a presentation I saw [...]

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs

By Adron Hall on January 9, 2012

I have paid attention to Steve Jobs only in knowing he was producing some pretty sexy products at Apple. I had never owned one until December 23rd of 2011.  I had however respected Apple & Job’s Products. I knew very little about the level of his drive and passion. I also knew little about his [...]

Reality Distortion Field : 17 Companies’ Sitrep

Reality Distortion Field : 17 Companies’ Sitrep

By Adron Hall on December 12, 2011

I’m sitting on the bus this morning. As happens almost every day of the week. I’m flipping pages, sort of, it’s an eBook on my Kindle App. I’m reading about Steve Jobs taking over the Macintosh Program at Apple. How things started to fall into place for Apple, for the Macintosh, and how Jobs saw [...]

Weekend Review: Steve Jobs By Walter Isaacson

Weekend Review: Steve Jobs By Walter Isaacson

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 30, 2011

Just finished reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson and thought I will add few thoughts here. Two words that came out of my mind after finishing the book: Filthy Genius I saw many reviews that talked about possible bias in favor of Jobs but I never spotted the bias. In fact, I started reading the [...]

Innovation Culture Eats R&D for Breakfast

Innovation Culture Eats R&D for Breakfast

By Hutch Carpenter on October 27, 2011

Research and development is a mainstay of the innovation strategy for companies. And with good reason. R&D can invent new products and technologies that redefine markets. Think electricity, telephones, airplanes, semiconductors, the Internet. R&D can pave the way for whole new industries. Exciting, for sure! But there’s a problem. Too many companies treat R&D as [...]

iSalute : Remembering Steve Jobs

iSalute : Remembering Steve Jobs

By Sadagopan on October 6, 2011

I was about to board my flight at Chicago’s O’Hare when the news of Steve Jobs passing away broke. When I landed in San Fran (My United flight did not have Wi-Fi)- my thoughts were with the family, Apple colleagues and the huge number of Steve Jobs and Apple supporters. Innumerable iPads, Macs, iPods inside [...]

Steve Jobs THINK DIFFERENT – a Visual Tribute

Steve Jobs THINK DIFFERENT – a Visual Tribute

By Mark Fidelman on October 6, 2011

Saddened by the loss of an individual who has brought great joy and anticipation back into our lives.  He’s the only individual I know of where millions of people tune into his product announcements.  He’s earned that level of attention by bringing to market products that create emotional bonds with the owner.   So, out of [...]

Innovation - today's Golden Calf

Innovation – today’s Golden Calf

By Martijn Linssen on September 7, 2011

This week I had a conversation about Innovation and IBM. Vijay Sankarav wrote a follow-up post on that as he was forced to “leave early” – this is my reply to that. I think the three of us usually agree pretty much on pretty much everything. And this was an awkward one really It all [...]

Life Is Too Short To Remove A USB Stick Safely

Life Is Too Short To Remove A USB Stick Safely

By Chirag Mehta on August 24, 2011

Today, Steve Jobs resigned as a CEO of Apple. I think I will remember this day and so will others. “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do [...]
