I had a few emails asking for more tech post’s so let get the ball rolling with this one.
Here you are sitting in your nice corporate office or home office for many. You have your nice desk, the Executive leather chair and all the nice wooden desk accessories to top it off. There is your wide […]

So it was time for a new work PC as I some how have found ways to bog my system down. Off I go and get a q6600 quad core, a nice set of ram and all the goodies to go with it.
After the system is built I start to think, XP or Vista? Part […]

After watching a recent tennis tournament and getting blasted with SAP commercials I had to do a bit more research and read some feedback. Most of the commercials were focused on the mid-sized business market which I happen to have my hands on an implementation of this size currently.
I am not a manufacturing guru by […]

So I was streaming some tunes on Sunday and then it just stopped. I hit refresh a couple of times and nothing came up. Oh well I switched over to Itunes and off I went. I came back to YouTube about 30min later and still the same thing. I found this rather odd that Google […]

 So many products and so little time. I came across these devices while reading up on some other tech news. This is the first time I really took a look at these remotes as I have heard about them briefly in the past but figured it was time to see what it was all about.
I […]

Hell no. For a while you had the rumor going around that Dell dropped AMD but that was not exactly true.
What you had was Dell wanting to push AMD into retail and cut them from the website sales where a bulk of their PC’s are sold. There is also some news floating around that Dell […]

This is kind of like the southern coastline home owners boarding up their windows before a hurricane.
Yahoo filed documents with the SEC noting their changes and implementation of a new severance package line up. Workers could see 4-24 months of base salary depending on their level with the company.
It is clear they do not want […]

So I rolled the dice and picked up an iPod touch before my trip. Something about 4 hour plane rides makes me twitch.
It is not exactly a portable DVD player but we rented a couple of movies from iTunes, I tossed on a bunch of my Henry Rollins spoken word CD’s and a couple of […]

I am building a new home PC to keep up with my crack addict speed while working. That is a 22″ widescreen and a couple of 19’s full of databases and articles with nearly 5 clicks per second to those that don’t step into my office.  So I have began to build a quad core monster.
As […]

I know I should slap myself but I ended up looking at an iPod Touch yesterday. This year will have me on the road a lot so I was looking for something to play media\movies next week while I am on a trip.
The screen on the touch is small although seems crisp and I could just […]

Well it is time to check in on Dell so here is what they need some work on(Dell if you are reading, yes free consulting!)
I had a hard drive die on one of the domain controllers. I decided to call it in myself so I could do a quick review of their support. In the […]

Not exactly a perfected technology yet but San Francisco based company Ad Infused began delivering advertising to iPhones today.
The first report I read noted some slowness in the ad popping up which likely is more related to what carrier you are on given the limitations of speed on a cell phone.
Brian Cowley which if you […]

The only thing I wanted to hear about the iPhone is someone telling me it will be 3G. But still to this day it is not here.
Apple has bumped the iPhone to a 16 gigabyte capacity with a price of $499 while the older 8 gigabyte model will continue to sell for $399 after a […]

Speaking of cellphone caller id (below is an article on the startup Cequint) Intelius has halted it’s cell phone lookup feature after complaints from the public and corporations like Verizon.
Personally I do not want my cell in a directory anywhere if it can be avoid. I am all for a product like Cequint that is […]

It was all so very American with that cow wasn’t it?
I have to look back at this company and wonder what happened? I know Dell become a powerhouse but at one point Gateway was breaking some ground in the PC market and others like IBM and Compaq where losing their business customers.
I ran Gateway products […]

Yep, one under water cable could cause this. I hope to use this as evidence to convince someone that I am working with on a SAP implementation that running all of the apps from Europe via the Internet is a poor idea.
How do you like that voice over ip phone now! That is the other […]

I have been running MY Yahoo for a long time and I like how the setup is enough to where no one has been able to get me to switch yet. I went through some annoying advertising times with them but I still like my all in one page that keeps me updated perfectly with […]

So here you are in business for some time now or maybe even a startup company and you cannot wait to get your web presence all set. Guessing like most you will reach for a copy of Frontpage your buddy told you he used to build a web page for his cat box cam or maybe […]

I am taken back a bit by this one.  This is a good number for them to show but I wonder if there was a run at the end of the year to get things bought or maybe things are selling that well?
We all know Vista is the new ME. I worked on networks where […]

A few posts below I was talking about the possibility of the giants staying on top forever or it is just normal cycle that one day they have to fall.
Following my favorite source for news, Reuters has reported that Apple will fall short of it’s expectations for the first quarter ending Dec 29th. While they […]

It is nice to see the .com back in style since the big burst although I am sure more firms are focused on if the idea can actually turn a profit. In this round of financing it looks like Slide may have raised up to $50 Million.
If you recall the first way of displaying YOU […]

Now everyone wants a Blackberry but not everyone wants to pay for one. Many corporations also don’t want to pay for the Blackberry Enterprise server which can be very costly.
Then we have Exchange 2003 SP2. I know more people running Exchange then any other email server so this does apply to the masses. With SP2 […]

 This is a follow up to the Macworld post below. After the dust has settled it seems there is far more negative feed back then I thought.
You really have to face it. this laptop is highly focused towards one individual and that is the heavy traveler.  You have the worlds eye on you and you […]

We are continuing to see more consolidation in the ERP market. Oracle is looking to buy BEA Systems as reported by Reuters this morning. 
I have always viewed Oracle as being a powerhouse but it seems no matter what they do SAP outshines them. You can find more negative reports on SAP then Microsoft yet they […]
