I will be at Boston's Liberty Hotel tomorrow in the Ebersol Suite interviewing many in the industry all day tomorrow. If your CEO is in the area and you want to learn more about meeting me or another editorial team-member,...
The free program for Apple's iPhone is dead easy to use and the accuracy is OK as you can see from this blog entry below. Interestingly I said it worked quite well below but as you can see it need...
Some tech and political discussions from Day two of the show but really day one for me I had a great set of meetings at Interop today and the energy at the show was quite inspiring. Talk of sales gains...
If you don't think the Google business model of giving away as much as possible and subsidizing it through ad revenue is striking fear in the hearts of the tech world, you would be wrong. Even Steve Jobs seems afraid;...
Bill Gurley writes correctly that Google is positioned to take over the world. I am certainly paraphrasing and adding some personal bias - he describes in detail how the company invested great sums of money to assemble a superior turn-by-turn...

I flew to Montreal on Tuesday morning of this week and have driven well over 800 miles to Ottawa, Rochester, NY and now Bedford, Mass. There has been cautious optimism from most every company I have met with. Many CEOs...

As companies continue to rein in costs the reality they face is they still need to operate - make widgets, fix widgets or distribute them with less resources. You see regardless of business type, productivity is important and even if...
The team and I will be out this afternoon enjoying our annual picnic. I apologize if we are slow to react while away but we promise to come back more refreshed than ever and will get back to you all...
I have always been proud to be an American for a number of reasons including the fact that our great country has almost always pushed for human rights and democracy around the world. Like any country, we are not perfect...
Among the many problems we have to deal with in the world of technology such as hackers, scammers, predators, phishers, script kiddies, etc - there is something new to worry about. What if your electronic photos are hijacked from your...
It seems the common sentiment is the lower amount of venture capital we see today is negative for the US economy. The New York Times even says we are in a VC crisis. Let me give you a contrarian point...
