In response to my last political post, the subject of High Road vs. Low Road was brought up. One comment suggested that I thought Obama’s was the former while McCain’s was the latter. In fact I was suggesting that both roads were tactics used by both candidates, and that I feared the election would be won and lost, as it usually is, by fighting along the low road to election day. My current favorite reporting ...

Filed under: Desktops, Laptops In case you missed the completely baffling Gates / Seinfeld ad, here's the skinny: Microsoft is getting serious about polishing the tarnished Vista brand (it's words, not ours). According to new reports, that aforementioned spot is just the beginning of Redmond's costly push to "change consumers' perception of Windows," and soon you'll be seeing Microsoft Gurus in your favorite B&M locations. These so-called experts will be there to "explain the benefits ...

Today at Office 2.0 I spent a while talking with Raju Vegesna, evangelist for Zoho, a software maker in Pleasanton, Calif. (they're about 5 minutes from my home). Originally I planned to conduct a video interview, but the venue was terribly loud, so I'll embed Robert Scoble's interview with Vegesna on FastCompany.tv a few days ago (below), and offer a few notes. I'm a big believer in the cloud — the idea that we're moving ...

The upcoming New York Times Magazine has a long feature on the effects of News Feed, Twitter and other forms of incessant online contact. “Social scientists have a name for this sort of incessant online contact. They call it “ambient awareness.” It is, they say, very much like being physically near someone and picking up on his mood through the little things he does — body language, sighs, stray comments — out of the corner ...

Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat said Thursday that it paid $107 million in cash for privately held Qumranet, which sells software that helps computer systems run multiple programs more efficiently on less equipment. The acquisition continues Red Hat's David vs. Goliath narrative of chipping away at Microsoft's global ...

There is speculation that Google’s new Chrome browser is the Microsoft IE killer, or will slowly be the demise of Firefox. It’s pretty much been the headline news in the tech world this week. Here’s some food for thought. Google only has one profitable product, and that’s adsense. They exist for the sole purpose of serving ads anywhere they can, websites, mobile devices, inside applications etc. Most of Google’s recent major product releases are only ...

I keep making the mistake that clients care about me - about my business. It’s an easy mistake to make and a mistake I guess many small business owners make. The thing is - nine times out of ten - they don’t. They care about themselves… and why shouldn’t they? They have their own agenda. They have their own bills, sales objectives and profit and loss charts. So, as a supplier, I need to ensure ...

It just seems like such a bad fit. If my local library started loaning ...
