An Apple iPad Killer; 3-D Printing (hitting it big commercially) Collaborative Apps; the year begins anew… A year from now what will unfold will be very interesting to reflect upon… Let the New Year bring LOTS of incredible innovation!

Surprise: A term that when it is associated with Microsoft garners visions of; 1) what were they thinking when they did X?; 2) okay, this X is not so bad… and/or; 3) a combination of the two or even somewhere … Continue reading
