iPad’s Climb Up the Disruptive Innovation Cycle

iPad’s Climb Up the Disruptive Innovation Cycle

By Hutch Carpenter on October 5, 2010

Blockbuster’s recent bankruptcy filing was yet another chapter in the Clayton Christensen annals of disruptive innovation. A major brand with convenient locations that got disrupted by a website and the U.S. Mail. Note that we’re seeing the backend of the disruption, when it all seems so clear. How easy is it to see such a […]

Office Depot Deceptive Advertising

Office Depot Deceptive Advertising

By Zoli Erdos on January 29, 2010

For being a netbook-fan I admit I am in the market for a super-slim lightweight laptop.  The market has evolved, the current slimbooks are only slightly more expensive than netbooks, and I find the 13.3” screen size an ideal compromise between portability and straining my eyes with the tiny screens.  So I was quite happy […]

The Laptop Deal of the Century

The Laptop Deal of the Century

By Zoli Erdos on January 18, 2010

Would you like a new laptop and a boatload of money with it?  According to DealNews you can now get a new Lenovo at 750% off. Let’s say the list price is $1,000, that means you can pick it up free and pocket $6,500.  Not a bad deal, IMHO. (Wonder when they’ll wake up and correct the […]

Look Who’s Talking: ASUS, the Designer Brand

Look Who’s Talking: ASUS, the Designer Brand

By Zoli Erdos on January 5, 2010

Brand vs. Quality. Which Would You Pay For? – I asked recently, making the case that “trusted old brands” like HP are producing inferior quality, while formerly “no-name cheapo” component maker ASUS is becoming a household name.  They are basically doing what Honda, Toyota (and now the Koreans)  did to the car business. Sure, ASUS […]

1984

By Zoli Erdos on August 28, 2009

Keeping Americans safe in an increasingly digital world depends on our ability to lawfully screen materials entering the United States. – says Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano justifying why the Obama administration largely upheld the Bush-era regulations about intrusive border searches of travelers’ laptops, cellphones and other electronic devices. I’ve heard that reasoning before. No, […]

Intel Relaxes Rules on NetBook Resolution.  Next Obstacle is Screen Size

Intel Relaxes Rules on NetBook Resolution. Next Obstacle is Screen Size

By Zoli Erdos on July 13, 2009

I often spoke up against idiotic screen size / resolution limits that render Netbooks close to useless, yet the de facto industry standard appears to be 1024 x 600. What’s wrong with that?  Well, nothing, unless you plan to browse, or in fact interact with web sites, since websites today are designed at a resolution […]
