The Best Government Money Can Buy

The Best Government Money Can Buy

By Guest Authors on November 1, 2012

I work in Asia where government influence (“bribes”) is exceedingly common. Granted, it is officially illegal, but as a practical matter it is essential. I remember traveling into Cambodia via rail. At the border crossing there is an immigration office where you apply for and get a visa to enter. The room was packed with […]

Actually, Cars that Fly and Float May Not Be So Bad

Actually, Cars that Fly and Float May Not Be So Bad

By Zoli Erdos on October 26, 2012

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 […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 4, 2012

After Microsoft announced their beautiful Surface tablet and positioned it as a tablet that bridges the gap with the PC, there was some discussions on whether we are heading into the post-PC world dominated by tablets or we are going to see a new form of device that is neither tablet nor PC. Some even […]

Quick Thoughts On Microsoft Surface

Quick Thoughts On Microsoft Surface

By Krishnan Subramanian on June 19, 2012

Yesterday, Microsoft announced their tablet strategy with Microsoft Surface, a well designed tablet going head to head with iPad and Android Tablets. I thought I will add my quick thoughts on this announcement. In spite of all the positives about Surface, what stands out is that Microsoft is clueless about the availability and pricing. If […]

Is the Stylus Retro?

Is the Stylus Retro?

By Dave Michels on February 7, 2012

The Samsung Note is a smartphone tablet thing. It is either the largest smartphone or smallest tablet depending on your point of view. I saw it at CES, and it was advertised on national television during the Superbowl. The ad poked fun at the hipsters …

Fusion Garage (of CrunchPad-Joo-Joo Fame) Drops Grid 10 Price by $200 – Only $200 More to Go

By Zoli Erdos on September 12, 2011

Some things just can’t die. Like the zillionth incarnation of what was formerly known as CrunchPad…. then after a messy divorce from TechCrunch became the Joo-Joo (sold a few dozen units), and now it’s back as the Grid 10.   I have a funny history with this device. I was a major advocate of the […]

Modern Day Enterprise Software: Workday Example

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 16, 2011

Even before cloud computing became the household name, enterprise software industry has started seeing disruption. Even though legacy software still holds enterprise market to ransom, companies like Salesforce.com, Workday, Netsuite, Google, etc. are carving out a path towards the modern day enterprise software. From my point of view, any modern enterprise software should offer social […]

Tablets In The Enterprise: Workday and Box Announce Tablet Apps

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 11, 2011

From the days when we considered iPads in the enterprise as an exciting new trend, we have slowly moved into a world where tablets are a norm from boardroom to IT admins.

Is That A Tablet In Your Pocket, or...?

Is That A Tablet In Your Pocket, or…?

By Dave Michels on July 12, 2011

My problem with tablets is they don’t replace anything. My smartphone replaced a lot of things, my laptop replaced my desktop. My Kindle replaces lots of books. From what I see, tablets don’t replace anything. They are a new device joining the primal fight for airport power outlets. They do seem kind of fun. On […]
