Every aspect of Greenpeace's operations is suspect and their underlying assumptions about what the power requirements for the Maiden datacenter are deeply flawed and based on older, less power efficient equipment, and does not (for example) take int…

Now, now. That's not a bad bit of kit from Nokia/Msoft. And since they are pumping a huge amount of money into marketing it - it means that the WP faithful will get a decent phone, and at $99 it's a stone cold deal for the penny-pinching would be en…

Seriously, they report this like it is something unusual. Naturally they chose international companies with the highest public profiles to report on, consistent with their desire to pull hits. Then of course you can read about how Kim Kardashian…

I'm betting the Office team had this ready to go from almost day one. I'll wager that the management at Redmond held it back until they saw that their efforts on the tablet were going to be delayed. Once Apple delivered solid mobile versions of the …

*Big hug* You have no idea the poor quality of contrarianism we have had to put up with while you've been preoccupied elsewhere!! Whew, now back on topic. And of course, we have to address the obvious elephant in the room, let in by our dear b…

When periodicals were more about news and less about advertising and subscriptions (which is itself a mistaken view because at one level or another, you need subscriptions and ad revenue to keep the lights on and the presses running) and media was l…

With an aggregate population in Canada of just over 34 million, it's estimated that roughly 5% of the population have a tablet device (1.7 million). I haven't seen the breakdown by country, just best guesses and estimates, but if Apple has that "68%…

Men At Work! Who can it be knocking at my door? Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more. Can't you see that it's late at night? I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right. All I wish is to be alone; Stay away, don't you invade my home. Best …

So they put together web petitions, generated a bunch of signatures and staged a wouldbe presentation event at the Grand Central Station Apple Store. Let's understand what is happening - they are trying to validate their approach to "activism" (y…
