Google As Memory

December 19, 2005

For better or for worse Google is substituting as long-term memory for many people. Think of it as your brain’s hard disk. USA Today Story.

AOL and Google

December 19, 2005

One has to wonder if it is payback time for Microsoft. The company has been a ruthless competitor over the years and has routinely wiped out companies with successful business models. There are countless software vendors from Quarterdeck to Borland that were steamrolled by the Redmond behemoth over the years.

Now it seems like the tables have turned. As you might recall MSN was supposed to fight it out against AOL.

Faulty Microsoft Patches

December 18, 2005

The more and more frequently Microsoft sends patches and security updates the more difficult it becomes to be productive. I have multiple computers at work and at home and help manage many computers for friends and family members. Lately I have found myself almost constantly downloading patches and updating Windows. Many people in MIS positions tell me they feel Microsoft sends patches so frequently that there is obviously no regression testing.

Richard Branson

December 17, 2005

Something tells me Tracey who received a personal letter from Warren Buffet will not be receiving one from Richard Branson soon. Sure she may get a prerecorded phone call but no, not a letter complimenting her on an article. Well at least not this one.

Commodore

December 16, 2005

Now I don’t want to take too much credit here but TMC is probably where it is today in part because of the Commodore 64. In 1982 a computer consultant dropped a computer system into TMC but didn’t program it. He just took off. I think he was just too busy to do the job.

Britannica gets the Last Laugh

December 15, 2005

A few people ruin it for others. This is always the case in life. I think about this all the time. For example, the massive security increases in airports, spam, viruses, etc.

Lenovo Gets Busy

December 13, 2005

The biggest change we see here at TMC due to the Lenovo acquisition of the IBM Computer Division is that ThinkPads sent for repair now go to China and back. This has the unfortunate side effect in our case of leading to a missorted package and a laptop that was returned to us in malfunctioning condition. Here is the information provided recently by our shipper:

More Blackberry Woes

December 13, 2005

The worst case scenario for RIM and NTP is for RIM to lose business as NTP is incented to see as many Blackberries as possible sold. Why? Because of course NTP gets a cut of all future Blackberry sales. Or at least that is how it looks to be shaping up.

US Cybersecurity

December 12, 2005

Here is an overview of the state of US cybersecurity. I am pretty surprised and how many alleged state-sponsored attacks there are. Articles like this make you realize that security on the Internet will only grow in importance over time.

Colorado is Freezing

December 7, 2005

OK, I seem to have chosen the coldest time of the year to come to Colorado. I have been here for a few days. When I arrived there were hurricane force winds of up to 95 miles per hour. A number of tractor trailers were flipped, I saw an SUV flip and I hear a bunch of small planes were flipped on their back.

The next day saw continual snow for at least 30 hours.
