The Future of Internet Is Mobile

A headline that not only grabs your attention but it also true. That is refreshing. Mobile is appealing to advertisers who can pick their audience based upon a GPS reporting where the viewer is currently located.

Is the Microsoft Empire Cracking?

The cash from the OS sales came in handy, but it was not the source of all future victories.

Microsoft's Office for the Web Will be Ready No Time Soon

Zoho Google-like software has always existed along side Microsoft Office. It use to go by the name "public domain" software. Only the name has changed. There's also WordPad and NotePad.

Apple's Extraordinary Edge

@My take: Independent thinker and Windows XP? How do those two go together?

Apple's Extraordinary Edge

I can't join the choir of Apple being an exceptional company just like I can't join the choir of the equally foolish description of microsoft as a bloated competitor in a crumbling castle. I am knocked over from all the emotion, but the marketplace does not support the above described views. In 10 years, Apple's world domination will be just around the corner, just like it was 10 years ago. There will also be the argument that Microsoft negotiated its position rather than earned it with technology. The world has reinvented itself and microsoft remains; this reflects more than smoked filled room negotiations.
