Great New European Technology Invention
One of the things that I’ve noticed throughout Europe is this really cool invention they’ve created here called a schedule. This schedule is something that is based on another piece of technology called a clock. The clock is designed to show the passing of time, something very similar to what we in America have, except […]
Innovation Through Logo Design
OK, I stole that title from Krish. It’s a telling title, almost as good as this one from Shakespeare: Much Ado about Nothing. Oh, and I really don’t want to write about a logo. Especially about a fugly one. One that the entire world hates. But what can I do, the world is abuzz with […]
Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant
Fellow Enterprise Irregular and HfS Research Founder Phil Fersht introduced their new Blueprint with an appropriate title: Step aside Magic Quadrant, hello Blueprint. I think such a milestone warrants a historical overview of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, Hype Cycle, Magic Cycle, Magic Hype, Hyped Magik… or any other variation you prefer. And since it’s just a few […]
Actually, Cars that Fly and Float May Not Be So Bad
Apple CEO Tim Cook left behind his old metaphor of “fridge and toaster” and is now calling Windows 8 a car that flies and floats, while not exactly doing either function very well. I am not exactly a Win8 fanboy, but there are a few (emphasis on few) things Win8 is doing well: informative tiles […]
Apple – Color Acquisition Rumors
So people are scratching their heads on news rumors (OK, rumours for some of you) on Apple buying failed (?) startup Color (Colour, if you insist). All I can say is: back to 1977 🙂 Related articles Apple Said to Acquire Color (thenextweb.com) Apple Buying Color Tragically Makes Sense (informalprotocol.com) Apple to acquire photo/video sharing app […]
Googlers Start Commuting in Self-Driving Cars But They Have Great Death Benefits
OK, juxtaposing these two unrelated (?) news is admittedly a bit morbid. And not exactly Cloud-y. Except that it’s all about Google… Google’s self-driving car experience enters a new stage, as employees (well, some) will start using these cars for their daily commute. A nice commute, one might add, these are no longer Toyota […]
Canada is mulling over the idea that customers pay for their own phone surveillance
Canadian Bill C-30 proposes a tax on people purchasing internet and phone services so that the cost of paying for surveillance equipment or responding to Law Enforcement lookups will not burden either the government or the ISP/Phone Company. Canada plans on taxing users of systems so that they can be monitored by the government. There […]
Oracle Acquires Taleo (Resistance is Futile)
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I am not sure, but this is what happens when I don’t have time to write:-) If you are in Enterprise Software, you know what’s coming at you … resistance is futile. Now, for the real news on Oracle’s acquisition of Taleo, I refer […]
New Facebook IPAD application rocks but
With everything there is always the potential for using something for good, or just downright stalking people. I downloaded the IPAD application last night for Facebook, and overall I really like it. But thought that the mapping feature was simply … Continue reading →
Porn sites start using Facebook Connect
With a sense of humor because when Mashable’s Pete Cashmore wrote that Facebook users should be beware that the new timeline feature could embarrass a user, I just had to see what the porn industry was doing. Porn has been trying to get involved in social media, but for a multi-billion dollar industry we tend […]
HP’s Monkey Business
Bloomberg reports the HP Board is considering replacing CEO Leo Apotheker after less then a year tenure… poor Leo, after this and his previous gig as SAP CEO where he lasted 10 months, he might as well specialize on 10-month “turnaround” gigs. But it would be naive to think Leo could have initiated changes […]
That new XXX TLD is going to cost you 209 dollars to register
I buy my fair share of domain names every year some I park, some I sell, and some I wrap a web site around to see what happens with it. I usually pay between 6.95 and 9.95 depending on what extension I want for the domain name. Reports are surfacing though that the new XXX […]
