What’s Your Exit Strategy? 5 Steps To Help You Survive.
I wrote this over a month ago … and today it’s very appropo. I’ve been lucky — I worked at a failed business and lost my job on 1 day’s notice. That was nearly 3 years ago. The reality of modern employment is that we should all be prepared for job changes. Here are 5 [...]
I Want An iPhone 4 … I Don’t Care
It has the WiFis and the 3G. I want the one with the bigger GeeBees.

A little while ago, I wrote a few posts about Apple’s declining influence in the mobile market and how it will never win its battle against Google’s Android OS. I compared it to the Windows vs. Apple battle of a few decades ago, I brought up the overwhelming number of Android devices on schedule to [...]

PlayOn, the software that allows you to stream videos to you Wii, XBox, and PS3, has a serious flaw — fast forward sucks. And here’s what the site says about it: This is a tricky problem.

2,000,000 iPads Sold … And Apple Still Is Losing Mobile Market Share
Recently, Apple was pretty proud to sell a couple million units of their super-sized iPod Touch (aka. the iPad). But I think the real question is just how many Android phones are selling. Why? Android is eating up the iOS market share according to the latest reports. People will say the iPhone 3Gs was old [...]
