Technology is advancing at such a rate that the barriers to entry for so many industries are dropping to a point where they are nearly negligible. What does this mean? It means that anyone with a good idea and the balls to actually go for something big (or just the time and talent to go [...]

The iPad Is Not A Bust – A Quick Look At Apple History

April 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Business, Hardware, Inventions, Inventions, Technology

The iPad is out and there are plenty of nay-sayers out there bemoaning the fact it doesn’t do this or it doesn’t have that. Many predict that this will be the product that sinks Apple’s boat (how they figure that is beyond me. Isn’t Apple now worth more than Wal-Mart?) and have a whole slew [...]

iPad Review From a Non-Journalist

April 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Business, emerging markets, Hardware, Inventions, Inventions, Reviews, Technology

Get your iPad review here. That’s right folks! Read what a “normal” consumer thinks (rather than the journalists or other reviewers who have no clue what the common folk think) after one day with his new device. Some background on the reviewer (it’s not me). He’s an artist/illustrator. The man, the reviewer, the Spencer Lindsay [...]

Wishing the U.S. Patent Office Wasn’t So Slow

August 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Business, Business Practices, emerging markets, entrepreneurs, Inventions, Inventions, Legislation, Other, Other, Rant, Rant, start-ups, Technology

We’ve heard over and over again how painfully slow the U.S. Patent Office is. I was reminded again today as I was copied on an email to a patent attorney regarding an application we sent in THREE YEARS AGO. What the hell? This wasn’t even a very complex product that we are dealing with here. [...]

Apple’s Genius Regarding the iPhone Roadmap

March 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Business, Business Practices, Gadgets, Hardware, Inventions, Inventions, Software, Technology
