Blackberry, I’m one of the restless cattle

Just read a very interesting analysis (which seems to really be lacking in so much of what you read on the web (including sometimes here)) on RIM, their BlackBerry suite of products and while they might look good on paper, the writing is on the wall that they have some real issues ahead of them. I’d [ READ MORE ]

Tapping into some serious passion

Amazing. foursquare is simply amazing.  After getting an astronaut to check in from space last week, you just had to be impressed. That’s some amazing pull — I wonder if they’ve tried to figure out if that’s the most expensive check in ever (although I hear a Donald Trump Check-in coming on strong). Then, while flying [ READ MORE ]

Team Coco is Rocking it

I mentioned a while back ‘WTF‘ was going on over at NBC back when they couldn’t get their glasses on straight enough to figure out that they were blowing it with Conan O’Brien. Then he had an epic last show that was absolutely phenomenal and since then — Conan O’Brien has been lighting the entire world [ READ MORE ]

Mr. Hero — Gmail has your (slightly creepy) answer

Mr. Hero — Google has stepped and released (at least to one of my gmail accounts) their Priority inbox. It does exactly what you seem to want but for me, it’s getting a little too far into the ‘ich’ factor for me. I’m kind of thinking gmail knows too much about me and I’m thinking about [ READ MORE ]

Two wrongs don’t make a right

Reading the Wall Street Journal yesterday and was shocked (!) to read the movie industry is about to make another big misstep. After getting all jazzed about 3-D, etc and getting all of their horses hitched to that wagon, they now are off trying to hope a law is changing (or being reinterpreted — I don’t [ READ MORE ]

Unfortunately, You know what’s Stuck?

Typically, I try and stay away from posting on the weekend, but this just seemed right.  Unfortunately, you know what’s stuck on the blade? The World Trade Center site.  I know this is a very sensitive issue, but it is true. There is no way that in any of the rebuilding presentations and plans that [ READ MORE ]

Android is buckling in it’s openness

Hola. I’ve been summering well, but just caught this video on CNET TV today. I was calling this issue with the Android ecosystem for 6 8 months now.  Great to see my views hitting the big time media market on CNET TV. [ READ MORE ]

Summer is for reading

Hope Summer is treating everyone well. Mr. Hero and I are having a killer summer so far. Every once in a while, it’s worth interrupting summer to post something. This time — It’s for Amazon coming out with their new Kindle.  Finally, I think they’ve really ‘got’ it and I’m going to want to pull the [ READ MORE ]

JJ Knows..

Summer continues to truck along, but glad to see some other folks out there think 3D is a mistake. J.J. Abrams, Joss Whendon. Thank you! [ READ MORE ]

On Vacation you learn a lot

On vacation, was chatting it up with a relative who has a 14 year old son (guy is looking like a hulking monster these days, growing like a weed!). Turns out that the ‘new’ TV in your bedroom isn’t just a TV in your bedroom with cable. Nope. It’s TWO 50″ flat screens mounted side by side to [ READ MORE ]
