About a week ago, someone asked me if iConsole would support VPN. I paused and answered flatly that yes, it would in an upcoming release… but the pause wasn’t to come up with an answer. The real question that came to my mind wasn’t “will iConsole support VPN?” Instead, I read that question as “how [...]

I want to get one thing out of the way, yes, we are testing the waters with car news. And, we will be testing the waters by rocking the boat on Pontiac. Hey, if we can make Sony Ericsson sell 10,000 T608 phones, pushing for 50,000 cars annually shouldn’t be too hard, right? We’ve got [...]

This is a great case study in explaining new technology to new users. Apple’s glass trackpad makes a lot of sense to people that have been using trackpads for years.

… When it doesn’t work. While reinventing CentralGadget.com as TechNews.biz (yeah, that’s the new name for the site), I found that the categories on the site had been screwed up. This is part of the problem with delegation at times. The old adage, if you want something done right, do it yourself, is impossible at [...]

I’m starting to get really sick and tired of the Ad Council. I know for decades they did nothing but good… but they keep spreading misinformation in their modern ads. It’s time to put my foot down. Their latest “credit fairy” ads argue that you can best improve your credit by “only opening new (lines [...]
