As I’m sure many of you did, I watched yesterday with great interest the streaming video feed from SAPPHIRE Now, SAP’s annual conference. Of particular interest was the “SAP Mobile Press Conference” that was led by SAP’s Sanjay Poonen. After Sanjay made his formal remarks, he invited some partners and customers to join him in [...]

I am admittedly a little late in the game in writing this missive, but I put the blame squarely on the newest addition to the Winthrop Clan who has now made sleep a privilege and not a right for me. Watch out world, in a decade (or two), you’ll hopefully hear from yet another rabid [...]

Two big things occurred yesterday. First and foremost, Hurricane Sandy decided to pay a very unwelcomed visit to the East Coast, wreaking havoc for millions of people, most notably in the New York/New Jersey area.

Hello from beautifully sunny San Diego where CTIA is holding its newly branded MobileCon event. While today is the official kick-off of the event, I had the opportunity yesterday to attend the App-Solutely Enterprise event that was part of the pre-conference track. This was the 2nd time my good friends at 151 Advisors held this [...]
