RoadMice Mercedes SL550 Review
Wow. When I first caught wind of this from CES I was totally skeptical of any sort of funcnality out of device meant to look like a car. I mean the simple notion that someone would use a car as their mouse every day seemed laughable. When my review unit arrived however I was instantly entraled with the detail of the box! This mouse looked nothing like a mouse. It looked like a 1/64th scale diecast car. I suddenly was feeling like a 12 year old boy ready to play with a new toy.
Google: Objectively Evil?
Forbes.com article Internet Freak-out Over Google’s New Privacy Policy Proves Again That No One Actually Reads Privacy Policies by Kashmir Hill
Nice read, but I’d like to point something out.
“When Google starts bundling everything it knows about its users and selling that to insurance companies, background check companies, and the Department of Homeland Security, that’s when I’ll trot out the “evil label.”
Editorial: Can RIM Save This Ship
Dear Reader:
Let me first introduce myself by a name that most of you haven’t heard in a long time. I’m Nic Ball the “Berry Guru”. Before there was a Gadget Gurus, before there ever was an Angry Guru and much before I secured my doctorate, I was simply a blackberry junkie. I walked around with my head held down and my thumbs busy typing away on a keyboard as I weaved through pedestrian traffic. It was the best of times. The smartphone market was on in it’s early childhood. We’d finally crossed over the threshold of Windows Mobile and the world was ours to take. Then the iPhone came along and started the downward slide. Android came on the scene and it was as if all the air in the room had been let out. Now here we are only a few years later but it seems like forever ago. Now here we are, RIM, the former king of the market is now the ugly red-headed step child of smart phones. What, if anything, can RIM do to save this ship?
The most obvious problem with RIM has been the total consumerization of IT. No longer are system admins able to keep everyone on an easy to manage and easy to control system without justification for that granular control. Now days CEO’s are demanding the use of an iPhone or iPad and the notion of using a BlackBerry is quickly fading away. RIM has missed out on consumer market in belief that there would always be a rock solid business market. As this layer starts to fade away we have to look at other solutions at RIM.
