Microsoft Enterprise Apps: Good is the enemy of Great

Microsoft Enterprise Apps: Good is the enemy of Great

By Vinnie Mirchandani on March 21, 2013

Let me start off by saying if I was walking the halls of Convergence in New Orleans this week, I may have a somewhat more generous point of view. But I am not there so catching up on what colleagues are reporting. And it just reinforces what I have felt for a few years – […]

Bing/Google Now: Context Wins

By Jeff Nolan on March 13, 2013

I woke up this morning and my Galaxy Tablet reminded me that I have some phone calls, an offsite meeting that will take approximately 20 minutes to drive to, and some interesting news as well as a weather report. It’s easy to overlook how far we have come in the quest to provide useful personal […]

Does Profit Motive Kill Companies?

Does Profit Motive Kill Companies?

By Bob Warfield on November 2, 2011

There’s an interesting article out in Forbes that contains a couple of fascinating ideas well worth digging into.   The first thing is their argument that Steve Jobs was able to eliminate Innovator’s Dilemma at Apple by getting rid of the profit motive.  The same article also mentions a fascinating study by Deloitte called “The Shift […]

Bing’s Cheating, Scoble’s an Attention Whore, Escape the Internet Soap Opera

Bing’s Cheating, Scoble’s an Attention Whore, Escape the Internet Soap Opera

By Bob Warfield on February 1, 2011

Geez, must be a slow news week or something. First we got the whole Scoble/Quora soap opera.  To make that long story mercifully shorter, Scoble went from thinking Quora was biggest blogging innovation in 10 years to “Why I was wrong about Quora as a blogging service” to being given a good intervention to finally […]

Silly Rabbits:  Google is for Spam not for Search

Silly Rabbits: Google is for Spam not for Search

By Bob Warfield on January 10, 2011

Dear Microsoft, Why Do You Make It So Difficult?

Dear Microsoft, Why Do You Make It So Difficult?

By Jeff Nolan on May 25, 2010

Like a lot of people I paid attention when Microsoft updated Hotmail and declared war on Gmail.
