From Jupiter Research:
So, apparently, the 2009-2010 version of Windows will still not have the next-gen file system I was writing about more than 10 years ago — when “Cairo” was the lead codename — let alone a microkernel with modules for OS “personalities” and compatibility.
The general public pretty much knows that Vista sucks and it [...]
Last week I was talking with Marcus about the whole Yahoo! / Microsoft non-deal. We came to the conclusion that Yahoo! was asking for an unjustifiable price because they had realized that Yahoo! does not have a future. The sales price was all they were ever going to get.
I kinda-sorta followed the Jerry Yang talk [...]
There is a huge debate going on in all corners of twitter-land. This is not the debate about The Business Model or Rails Is Slow. This is not even the debate about Decentralize Twitter. It is a debate that doesn’t make the front page of TechMeme and you won’t find much about it in the [...]
I was just perusing the list of the top 50 applications submitted to the Andriod Developer Challenge. As Engadget pointed out, many of the applications are Location Based Services. That piqued my interest since I have felt location-aware mobile applications are running way behind schedule (the imaginary schedule I setup in my head based on [...]

The wireless handset (i.e. cellphone) market is getting absolutely insane just in time for the “economic stimulus checks” to start arriving. I am not using “insane” as some sort of bad-meaning-good euphemism; I really think people are losing some mental stability.
For those living under a rock, the next generation of the iPhone is going [...]
At the end of last year I wrote Why Sprint is Losing Customers (and market share). The post detailed how I felt Sprint was providing the wrong kinds of incentive for their business to be successful. The post actually got talked about on a few finance sites as Sprint’s stock continued to fall throughout Q1 [...]
People used to be content with being talked at, lectured to, and entertained; now people seem discontent unless they are participating and engaged. The world has changed and there is no going back. Companies that used to make a living from talking at, lecturing, and entertaining need to adapt or they will eventually become irrelevant.

That title is a pretty bold statement.
I could write a long post about how document sharing, collaborative editing, integration with Google Gadgets, etc are all game changing features. The thing is, that post would take too long to write and I don’t have that time right now. Luckily I can back up my claim with [...]
For the past couple of years I have had a question running around in my head and it won’t go away. Maybe by posting it here someone can point me in the right direction to understand it.
