  • The Sopranos Series Finale

    I never thought we were going to get closure, but perhaps the issue was that we got too much of it. A lot of it just felt, for a lack of a better word, cheesy to me. Complex story lines that were developed over several years were tied up with amazing ease, especially the whole feud with NY. (They went...

  • Was DRM-free music an Apple innovation?

    Some people have tried to paint the recent announcement by Apple as example of Apple innovating and Microsoft following . Headlines like " Microsoft changes tune on selling DRM-free songs " are simply misleading - none of the technology companies truly wanted DRM, but they were a necessary evil in selling...

I never actually used it much - it didn't add much value for me over Sharepoint and I preferred hosting my own site considering there were somewhat private things on there.

  • Gartner sends a cease and desist to remove a link

I obviously haven't seen the letter, but I'm trying to imagine what possible legal recourse they have to linking to a publicly visible URL. Obviously there's no copyright infringement and...

  • Outsourcing: Stop Whining

    Well, I was going to say something about this op-ed when I read it two nights ago, but Mike beat me to it . My favorite quote from the article: Stop whining. Stop waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Take charge of your own jobs, your own career and your own future. No one else is going to...

  • Why must iGo make it so hard?

    I really don't get it. I said already why iGo sucks so much. Now I have more reasons. In the comments of my last post, a reader named PP pointed me to the link I was looking for. So I finally found the tip I needed, and figured I would buy it. I was able to get as far as filling in my shipping information...
