  • App.net and Status.net

    What about identi.ca / status.net? Sounds like pretty much the same thing if you ask me… except that the other guys were 4 years earlier. Maybe somebody can enlighten me as to why app.net shouldn’t just bundle forces with status.net! Much of the coverage of App.net — the ambitious project from entrepreneur Dalton Caldwell that…

  • Stick a Fork In It: Dell Is Done

    If you agree that the PC category should include tablets, then it doesn’t look good for Dell. And Dell? What’s Dell’s plan to survive the radical transformation of the PC industry? “We have a roadmap for tablets that we haven’t announced yet,” its chief sales officer said earlier this year. OK then — guess they’re…

  • Epic Hacking

    Why can’t I get rid of the nagging feeling that this guy asked the hacker himself to do it, to get a great story into Wired and everywhere? Staged like this, the story is much better than if he simply reported that it was theoretically possible to remote wipe somebody’s iDevices just by abusing Amazon’s…

  • Steam wants to be the Cross-Platform Desktop App Store

    Steam wants to be the cross-platform desktop app store: Windows, Mac, and Linux. That’s the real reason they’re working on Steam for Linux – it’s not (only) about the games, it’s about the apps. They’re not saying that just yet, though, but I think it’s a smart move! Because they need a USP. If they…

  • Irreducible

    Some good thoughts, and a nice quote: The future is in apps you don’t open via Irreducible. My primary example for this is always that in the future, the computer (whatever it’s going to be called) will know what you want before you know, and will have delivered it. There will no longer be such…

  • Contrarian Analysts

    You know why an analyst sometimes go all in on contrarian opinions? Because if they turn out to have been right, they get all the recognition for having been the first to see a new trend. And if they were wrong, then it’s just one more time they weren’t 100% right. The only drawback is…

  • Hours, Velocity, Silo’d Teams, & Gantts

    Sounds familiar… lots of good advice from Johanna Rothman! These Scrum Master/project manager/program manager people have their hearts in the right places. But they have not had training, and they don’t know what agile can do for them. So while their iterations are helping them and their projects, they look around and say, “Why is…
