Upon Further Review.
If Redmond’s acquisition of Skype and a patent that allows for monitoring VoIP communications both go through; Federal authorities may have just been given a gift that just might keep-on giving. From eWeek: http://goo.gl/adTSv
How Extreme?
No offense to the enclosed technology; however, it just seems that the more consumers become fatigued (and, simply, tune-out) from being inundated with ads; commercials; gadgetry, etc., one would think that ‘less is more.’ In other words; trying to capture … Continue reading
First-Mover Advantage?
The ‘quietly brilliant’ handset manufacturer that has seemingly come out of nowhere in the past 18-plus months (via having linked their fortunes to the Android OS) continues to impress with their latest offering. Granted; it might not be a game-changer. … Continue reading

Let’s Review…
Yawn… perhaps not the most gripping way to begin today’s post; nevertheless, it is befitting… here’s why… In a word: Nokia. And, the simple fact that the market passing them by was ‘perhaps the beginning of their ending’ (to paraphrase Winston … Continue reading
Up Next: A ‘Bigger’ (Green) Offering?
Is it an ironic coincidence that Toyota unveiled a ‘bigger’ brother to their (run-away hit) Prius on Father’s Day weekend? Whatever the case may be; the car is in the 3rd generation (since it’s initial release was panned mercilessly) and … Continue reading
