Full Story »Apple the Turtle continues to Beat the Industry
March 8, 2012
The iPad 3.0 has arrived with incremental features and a community of loyal Apple customer ready to toss 1 & 2 for 3 as if they were a 1982 Kaypro. Pretty amazing.
As Jeff Orr of ABI Research stated in there press release
“Individually, none of the new iPad features create an insurmountable advantage for Apple over its competition,” says Jeff Orr, group director, consumer research. ASUS is currently shipping a quad-core tablet and even Chinese vendor Huawei announced one last week.

Verizon Wireless HomeFusion PSTN Sunset 10 GB at a time
March 6, 2012
According to the Washington Post today Verizon Wireless is offering an alternative home access service for $60 a month and 30GB service for $120 a month.
The most important aspect of this service is that it finally breaks the cross elastics that the carriers have been using for their MiFi services. Embedded in the pricing of the MiFi services was equivalent rate to a T1. If you did the price analysis it was there in black in white.

If You Can't Trust your Certs....Tales from GitHub
March 6, 2012
Once again we have discovered that PublicKeys can be thwarted and in this case the victim was GitHub. Now I have to tell you, I am constantly asked to run a security event. And the reality is that I have security training, but no one wants to admit that they need it. Especially a place that supports open source.
Is YHOO try to be a Yahooligan with Facebook?
March 5, 2012
So far Scott Thompson has not been catching the stock markets fancy with YHOO. Perhaps proving that Yahoo! is really a Californian company it has joined all the patent infringement strategies and is bring suit against Facebook.
Ironically the infringements are based on the acquisition of GeoCities years back. As you know the patent wars have already caused Google to purchase Motorola Mobility and several others to build an arsenal.
Interestingly we have yet to see Scott Thompson bring to bear a mobile payment strategy which I would have hoped to see at Mobile World Congress.

Yelp's IPO needs some Review
March 2, 2012
__PLACEHOLDER__Perhaps we have a bubble again. Perhaps the community of Yelp Reviewers are betting on their experience rather than the finances.
Yelp as an IPO has the feel of a drug that could get sued over a side effect that happens in almost 100% of all cases.
The Yelp Financials suggest that they are going to bleed cash without a growth strategy to solve their operational woes.
Something about has made the stock go up today on the first day of trading.
The only thing I can think of is they need to be acquired, but the stock that has been released is not enough to get any trade outs. So at the end of the day they are either going to be a minnow looking for whales to swallow or happy to be a pilot fish.

Rule Tata! Tata Rules the (Air) Waves
March 1, 2012
It is inevitable that monies acquired need to find a place to be spent. In the case of Tata buying Cable and Wireless it's got the benefit of historical irony and today's common sense.
Cable and Wireless has always been good at milking cash cows. The company that started as the sealant manufacturer for undersea cables has come along way and has been the incumbent in many places where the British Empire once ruled (including India).
Now Tata is considering buying Cable & Wireless and it makes a lot sense to me given the capabiliities of Tata.

Does Windows 8 Give us a Short Time View on Intel?
March 1, 2012
We used to refer to them as WINTEL. Microsoft and Intel were connected to each other at the hip. Servers, Desktops, Laptops all were in their sphere of control.
Then Came Linus Torvold's contribution to the Unix world and we got a stable open source kernel that stopped the warring factions on Unix and made Linux and LAMP the server side solution.
