The Great Search Engine Shootout
October 20, 2009
Bing, the Imitator, Often Goes Google One Better | www.nytimes.com
Google is the mammoth market leader, the bright light that illuminates the SEO world first and foremost; Bing is the large moth that is fluttering around that light, hoping to block it out with large wings that span the globe - but a small butterfly flying on it's own is the one to watch- the visionary search engine NeXplore.com - ya gotta try it to believe it!
Microsoft and Yahoo: 'Microhoo' vs the DOJ
October 12, 2009
"Start Your Search Engines" | online.wsj.com
I have no idea why Wisconsin Senator Herb Kohl (D) is so riled up about the proposed Microsoft - Yahoo ("MicroHoo") alliance. Antitrust protection is supposed to keep a large market leader - such as Google - from running away with market share and then price gouging customers. But Microhoo wouldn't create that scenario - so what is the real problem? Is the DOJ simply against Microsoft trying to get bigger? Would the DOJ look more favorably at a deal with a smaller company?
IPhone Coma Mode puts Apple in the ICU
September 19, 2009
Apple sends iPhones into 'Coma Mode' | www.theregister.co.uk
For years, Apple has smartly positioned itself as the "smarter and more reliable" platform manufacturer for PC and consumer electronics. We have all come to understand that by giving up certain freedoms and options, dealing with an operating system from Apple meant a more reliable, and more secure endgame. Now with the buggy release of the new 3.1 IPhone upgrade, Apple is showing us it is even less responsive than their competitor when it comes to admitting a mistake and delivering a fix.
3D for the Home Market is Real - and Here Now
August 20, 2009
After Conquering the Movies, 3-D Viewing Makes Its Way Toward Home TVs | online.wsj.com
Over 1.2 million "3D Ready" TV's were sold in the US alone in 2008, coming from Mitsubishi, Samsung, and others according to CEDIA (Consumer Electronics Dealers association)... what we have been waiting for is something that would play the content. I have seen it... it is here... it works well. I want one!
Radio Shack "Has" the Answer... Will They See It?
August 6, 2009
Even CEO Can't Fgure Out How Radio Shack is Still in Business | www.theonion.com
Radio Shack has the vehicle to turn things around... a hidden strength that competitors can't touch. The key to profits isn't always about the most product, foot traffic, or anything other than actual "profit"... and the Shack has an fast profit vehicle if they refocus from major markets where they have neither the image, products, or appeal to compete. Radio Shack can still drive nice results by looking in their own back pocket . They will find a unique footprint where others can't go!
"Real" 3D for Home Video and PC Gaming at a Great Price
July 22, 2009
Glacier Media Systems Launches True 3D for the Home Market this Summer | www.glaciermediasystems.com
I like toys... the more buttons, options, and blinking lights - so much the better as far as I'm concerned. But the most stunning technology I've seen in years is a simple box with very few buttons and lights - just an elegant black front plate that looks like a basic home DVD player with a power button, an insertion tray, and the coolest 3D reality you could ever imagine!
Dell's Delima - Has the World Gone Mad?
July 21, 2009
Dell Rejects Consolidation Strategy Popular With Rivals | bits.blogs.nytimes.com
In my 30 years of technology industry experience in the executive suite, I've never been more shocked to hear that a progressive company would limit the potential for acquisitions "only to smaller companies"... and smaller than what measure? Perhaps the Titanic was only willing to crash into "smaller icebergs"?
Bing vs. Google. vs the Reality of History
July 19, 2009
Bing Delivers Credibility to Microsoft | www.nytimes.com
If recent history in the digital age shows us anything, it's that the stranglehold that Google has on the search engine market is not going to last forever... but will it be Bing that replaces Google? Yahoo...? or some other smaller, more focused company already out there? Who is on the horizon that may challenge, and where will there be intersections and overlap?
Google Voice to Affect Unforseen Aspects of Communications
July 8, 2009
Internet Telephony: Google Voice | www.pcmag.com
Google Voice will provide more flexibility than any other similar service offering in the near future, at a price that no one can beat... "Free". How this will trickle down through the rest of the communication industry may not be readily plain, but the ramifications are huge.
