Chrome OS: Friend, Threat, or Menace?
As much as I enjoy using Chrome OS, I would think long and hard before recommending it to someone else...
Scoring Apple’s March 9 Product Announcements for Creation, Consumption, and Engagement
I am pleased that Apple is devoting money and talent to the development of such products that support creation, consumption, and engagement. In previous generations such resources might have been devoted to the creation of weapons of mass destruction.
Using the New Kindle Fire TV Stick: A Mixed Review
I think that Amazon is facing a major challenge in developing a media consumption device like the Fire Stick because so far Amazon has not figured out how to effectively insulate the Fire Stick user from the rest of the Amazon ecosystem.
Should Apple Take Over Google Glass?
During a recent edition of This Week in Google, Leo and Company all but “stuck a fork” in Google Glass by declaring it dead as a product.
While the Apple Watch product looks fantastic, one caveat might be that there is so much new and different about its functionality and its interface that it might take time for adoption to reach critical mass. That’s where Apple has an advantage here. They have resources to throw at this and the wherewithal to integrate the Watch with all their other products and services. That’s an awesome possibility that I think may actually may pay off in really big way for them and their customers.

In “How Google plans to rule the computing world through Chrome” Peter Toffel describes a scenario for how Google plans to “take over” desktop computing by running more and more services — some exclusive — through its popular Chrome browser.
Whom Do You Trust to Augment YOUR Reality?
There’s no doubt in my mind the cloud-based services can help us deal with the major events, but I think we will have to wait a lot longer for the butterfly wings.
You can’t follow the technology press without being aware of Google’s still under development Glass project. Recently a Verge video was published that illustrates how the video and information display functions of glass might operate. Geeks everywhere responded with oohs and aahs.
What’s next for Apple, now that Tim Cook has apologized for the new Maps app and has suggested alternate or competing products to use while things get fixed?
Why I'm Avoiding Google+ Today
But I think I’m going to avoid Google+ today. Apple is announcing new products.
I remember at first ignoring the Apple vs. Samsung patent arguments. I thought they were just more examples of highly-paid corporate attorneys fighting over questionable intellectual property claims.
What Are YOU Trying to Do with Mobile Technologies in the Enterprise?
I’ve been thinking about mobile technologies a lot lately and how they relate to activities like project management and collaboration.
