The Universal Do-It-Yourself Tablet Review

With the recent proliferation of new tablets, the people who review these devices have a lot of work to do.  As with most things these days, “There’s an app for that”.  This tool I’m providing here is not available on the App Store, but it is a multi-platform application that will save you time, money, and allow [...]

If you were a Superhero…

You’ve heard this question used as an icebreaker in meetings.  It is a good question for IT types, since many of them not only know the answer, they probably have the outfit hanging in their closet at home.  (Note to non IT readers – this is a joke.  Really). It’s much better than the “If [...]

Want to buy a Playbook or a Chromebook? Can you really trust reviews?

I drink my coffee black.  I didn’t always take it this way. When I started, I was like many who would enjoy a Timmee’s DD (This is a Canadian colloquialism, it has nothing to do with cup size), but then I dropped the sugar.  Then the cream. When I first decided to drop the cream, [...]

Tablets and Mobility – A Personal View

I’ve been off-line for a week now……..I couldn’t find any way to complete a physical move from a condo to an apartment using the Internet.  Got stuck with doing physical work!  Thank goodness I wasn’t moving far. I also see that time is passing quickly for the Blogging Idol contest and, frankly, the last two [...]

The Playbook Tablet – Rock Star, or Wannabe?

I play guitar.  It’s about the only thing I’ve done longer than being (happily) married, and I’ve been married a long time.  If you look at my profile picture under the contestants tab, you will soon conclude that in no way, shape, or form, do I resemble a rock star.  Ozzie has no worries about [...]

Notes on the HP acquisition of PALM

The announcement on HP’s purchase of PALM was a surprise. Yet, the PALM purchase makes good sense. Will HP be able to Grow Palm? Will HP Succeed?

Will Palm Slap HP?

Kudos to Elevation Partners, the private equity firm who dodged a bullet when they unloaded their 40% share of Palm in HP’s $1.2 billion buyout.  This investment was widely expected to go south, so a 5% return over 2 years, a dud by any other standard, is considered quite the save.  But will HP be [...]

Is there peace without a Smart Phone?

Over the past 2.5 years I have been addicted to my smart phone, not the worlds greatest, I’ve had both  HTC Touch and Touch Pro with Windows Mobile 6.0 then 6.1. Yes, the web browsing was basic, the phone (voice calls) was bearable, but I have really enjoyed the syncing of all my email and [...]

iPad O/S outdated in a day…

I have an iMac and love it. I have a Win7 notebook and think its great. I’d love a new smart phone and would consider an iPhone. However, I am stumped by how Apple continues to rise above the fray. Case & Point: Apple releases the iPad to rabid millions with tones of hoopla. Reviews [...]

I Knew I was out-of-date when…

Even musicians will feel the sting of technology progress: how iPhone is everywhere.
