Cloud computing made it so people could "get by" with a Mac (or Linux)? C'mon...there are zillions of apps for the Mac and nothing lacking except for high-end games and some weird vertical stuff. Cloud computing didn't enable the Mac: it's convenient and I love it on all platforms, but don't say that it somehow lets people "get by", lol.

CodySafe Admin pack and Launcher the admin toolset you carry with you...literally
Submitted by Ron Barrett on Thu, 11/19/09 - 2:10pm.
I have written the past about portable applications that Admins can carry with them.
I came across a new 'suite' of portable applications that are being touted as the Admins Swiss Army Knife, and for good reason.
The CodySafe Admin pack hosts 75 portable administrative tools into a single suite that installs onto a portable device and takes up less than 63MB of space. Within this tiny package are tools for handling all of the most common Admin tasks such as:
• Data Recovery
• Password Recovery
• Disk tools
• File & FTP managers
• Network Tools
• Security Read more

As I mentioned before, I'm at Interop New York all this week, where I once again have the privilege of Chairing the Mobile Business element of the event. The best part about attending a conference often isn't the conference sessions or even all the cool new products on the exhibits floor. It's the discussions with attendees and speakers that (most often) occur in the hallways. Read more
In terms of app pricing, one of the first questions to ask yourself is: are you going to charge users or give the app away for “free”? But can you give away your app and still make money? Here are 19 ways you can try.

When developing a new mobile application, you need to decide how you’re going to price it. This question is best answered early, while the application is still being designed. Wait too long and your choices regarding application monetization become limited. Read more

If my employer chose this route then they would find me uncontactable. I do not have a personal mobile phone - gave it up, more trouble than it was worth. I am not bearing the monthly overhead costs and just submitting expense claims for my business calls. If a company does not give me a mobile phone, then that company finds that I do not have a mobile phone. Period.

Love your article and appreciate your sentiments. My Son purchased with his own money his iPod Touch and the appliance functionality continued to break down on a regular basis. It was replaced on a contiuous basis until the warranty ran out and then his Apple bubble busted when he realized he would have to save another $150 in order get a replacement functioning appliance or only get $30 towards a trade in. Ahhhh so happy Mom! No more iTunes, iPods or Mac Books!

That is the perfect approach for Verizon. AT&T coverage sucks.
At my home, I get barely-usable 2G for voice and barely-usable 3G for data. No 3G for voice an no 2G for data. AT&T's "fix" is to have me turn off 3G when I need to talk on the phone and then, when I need to do data, turn on 3G and reboot. Then, turn off 3G and reboot to go back to voice.

To prevent your balance from ballooning, choose negative amortization loans with caps that do not exceed, for instance, 125% of the original amount. Review the plan carefully; there are some negative amortization loans that allow the lender to collect interest which is not collectible for traditional loans. Remember that while negative amortization loans give you more freedom, they require more vigilance and fiscal discipline.

High Tech Computer, which developed the first smartphone based on Google's Android mobile operating system, saw revenue decline in the third quarter due to increased competition and weak sales in Europe. The Eris will have the Android OS in common, and little else. The idea is to boost sales for smartphones, as fewer people can justify same day loans for something you really don't need these days.

Just in: The Motorola Droid. I'm just at the first impression stage but I like what I see (this may be the droid we've been looking for).
The obvious comparison is with, of course, the T-Mobile G1 manufactured by HTC. Motorola's late entry into the Android, AKA "Googlephone", market has allowed it to produce a more powerful and sophisticated product.

The Droid seems like a good alternative to the iPhone. It has killer apps like Google Voice and Google Navigation and NeuroMobile is rumored to be available on the Droid soon. I'm thinking about switching to get better coverage. The Droid would have been a more elegant phone if Motorola had simply made a commitment to touch screen entry instead of trying to cram a marginally functional keyboard into the product.
