As we speak, Apple is showcasing in New York City its new iBooks 2 platform, alongside its new wonderfully immersive Textbooks. In one respect, I’ve been wondering when this would happen in the education space. Nevermind the green side of the equation (less trees being turned into pulp), there are wonderful improvements in terms of [...]

It’s about 104 degrees right now in Buenos Aires. I’m here, one more day than I had planned for my honeymoon because there was a minor problem with the plane that was supposed to take us home yesterday evening. They grounded the airplane because they couldn’t get the public address system to work in the [...]

I can’t believe we are just two days away from Christmas. Almost everyone is winding down for the year to spend some much deserved time with family and get ready for the new year. It’s also a great time to reflect on what has taken place in the last 12 months. Maybe I’m just getting [...]

One of my favorite examples is how the Cloud is nothing we haven’t seen with mainframes and dumb terminals some 20-30 years ago. Here’s [...]

Tablet, tablet, iPad, tablet, and more tablet. That’s all you hear these days. People wait for the next iPad like it’s, well, the third coming, breath baited, credit cards primed, practically slobbering over the fine Corinthian aluminum. Man, I just love Apple’s marketing – the best in the world, the best ever in fact. They [...]

Wow. What an absolutely chaotic week in the world of (enterprise) mobility. We spent the majority of the week digesting Monday’s news where Google announced its intention to buy Motorola. Not to be outdone by that news, HP announced yesterday that it was cancelling immediately its webOS hardware business and considering its “strategic options” for [...]
