Apple, Peak and Cockroaches

Apple, Peak and Cockroaches

By Zoli Erdos on September 26, 2012

You probably think I am out of my mind – well … hm… no comment.  But yes I agree it’s close to madness  to discuss Apple’s decline right on the heels of a record-breaking iPhone 5 launch and a stock price that despite some correction is still a rocketship.  But bear with me for a […]

By R "Ray" Wang on January 17, 2011

Convergence Of Smart Phone Affordability And Broad Network Access Drives Growth In Location Based Services I’ve been a big fan of location based services (LBS). In fact, many of you have followed my whereabouts on Yelp, Tripit, and other integrated Twitter services. As many of you know, location based services take your geographical position from […]

Best Buy Smarter than the Apple Store

Best Buy Smarter than the Apple Store

By Zoli Erdos on May 26, 2010

“There is an App for that” – is the mantra nowadays, and I really hoped for one,  to solve the major task of telling me where I can buy an iPad.  Anywhere, in any physical store along my long drive from San Francisco to Pleasanton. In the real-time, always-on age it should not be a […]

By Zoli Erdos on March 23, 2010

How many times were you looking for the right hotel at the right price, close enough to your conference, customer or just a particular location?

Just a sudden kick in the butt, nothing more.  Perhaps that’s the difference between being right above the epicenter or feeling it remotely. I jumped […]
