Dell is a company that's completely lost its way. They once did something reasonably well: produce reasonably priced PCs of reasonable quality and sell them directly to consumers. Now they are trying to do lots of things and they do none of them…

Who's interested in licensing and supporting a dying format? B-Ray has just a few years of life left. Microsoft loves getting itself tied into losing technologies and then claiming to be smart...

I made the "mistake" of attending a meeting at the Gates Foundation offices a few years back with my MacBook Pro. Bill Sr. made a joke about it, a couple of former MS employees working at the Foundation snarled, but most folks there looked longingl…

Where do I read? In my office. In bed at home. In my living room at home. In airplanes. In airport lounges. In hotel rooms while on the road. Where do I not read? Outside in the sun. When I'm at the beach I am either in the water or talk…

Two reactions: 1) Who cares? 2) Some people need to get a life.

Yawn, indeed! Is it a kick-ass display or not? All who have seen it seem to agree that it is. Next...

hence my multi-year wait to purchase an iPhone. Sub-optimal service (still!) and a lousy pricing structure (charging separately for text messages!?!?). I'll keep waiting.

AT&T is the sole reason I don't have an iPhone. Miserable service, poor customer relations, spotty network coverage, and an absurd pricing structure for the iPhone (paying extra for SMS? Ridiculous! Weekends and evenings starting at 9pm? Abs…

Gosh, Ballmer. Things must be getting desperate in Redmond. Mounting an offensive effort like this only happens when Microsoft is already taking a defensive posture.

Is it any wonder the music industry is in grim shape? Instead of realizing how central these on-line previews are to selling music, they view them as a lost opportunity for profits. These greedy SOBs appear to know nothing about either marketing o…

Ballmer certainly spends a lot of time talking about a supposedly insignificant competitor. I run a business, and I don't waste time talking about competitors in general, and certainly don't go on ad nauseum about unimportant ones. Methinks Stev…

What will the Microsoft stores be selling? Virus protection software?

It's my sincere hope that someday Apple will give potential buyers the one option I crave: a carrier other than AT&T. Their pricing structure is abysmal. There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I'll by an iPhone, as much as I'd like to, a…

When I saw the name, I burst out laughing. In Portuguese, "Morro" means "I die." (It also means "hill," but "morrer" is the verb "to die" and "morro" is the first person present indicative form meaning "I die." Nice work, Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps AT&T could reduce the fees for text messages while they are considering changes. Their current fee structure is outrageous.

Here's one additional problem I have with Kindle (old and new)- I seriously toyed with getting a Kindle 2, and played with one owned by a friend. I travel a great deal and enjoy reading novels while I travel. Some of these trips are weeks long,…
