His answer is marketing, marketing, marketing. What is going on in ... More About: Marketing , Novell
I STILL say Microsoft is DOOMED?
2007-09-21 19:40:00 A while back, I posted “7 reasons why Microsoft is doomed“. It got lots of attention. Another blogger even devoted a whole post to refuting it.

The Storm Botnet: What?s This About?
2007-09-20 21:03:00 It’s freaky how the “Storm Botnet ” has been reported by the media. It’s as if this was a natural phenomena like an ice age or El Nino.

AllPeers Firefox Plug-in - a review
2007-09-19 20:55:00 BitTorrent is the handiest tool for file-sharing ever created, but the client program itself is frustrating.

The Ten Commandments of Blogging
2007-09-18 19:40:00 1. Thou shalt keep thy commitment. - Please, don’t just start a blog, make posts for two months, and give up. Every time somebody does this, that’s another corpse of a dead URL rotting away on the Internet forever. Another dead end for somebody to find on the end of a search. Stay in or don’t start. 2. Thou shalt give visitors a reason to come. - Really, if I spent all my time here nattering about my view from Planet Me, I’d be amazed if anybody showed up. So I have a whole archive of helpful tutorials and HOWTOs as well as humor and when I indulge in commentary, I try to at least perform so the visitor is glad they clicked my link. Like any product, blogs should have a selling point. 3. Thou shalt strive to stay running. - Nothing is more frustrating than putting up content that grabs people’s attention, and then hosting it on a server that goes belly-up the first hour after it makes it to Digg. Be prepared for heavy traffic and have a strategy, ... More About: Blogging , Ten Commandments , Commandments , The Ten

What if Your Operating System was an Anime Girl?
2007-09-14 20:28:00 And yes, before I get corrected, I know it’s “manga” if it’s a still image and “anime” if it’s a movie. But not everybody knows that yet, so I have to make the headline click-friendly. Onward: Meet the OS-Tans. An OS-Tan is a cartoon representation of an operating system as a young female mascot.

6 Signs You’re Not Cut Out For Programming…
2007-09-10 19:54:00 With the IT industry constantly fretting over the lack of skilled developers - at least if the business computing sites are any indication - it seems strange that you’d want to discourage people from getting into software development. But it’s true: there are people which… sorry if I can’t put this gently… the software industry is just plain better off without. Programming is equal parts art and science, and it takes a special kind of person for it. Here’s a list to clip-n-save for the next person who asks “Should I get into programming?” #1. You want a lot of money. - Sure, software companies make big bucks - and that all goes to the CEO. Slinging code pays somewhere between a janitor and a plumber. Currently, if you sawed open the brain of the average IT manager (not a bad idea!) and looked at the part that thinks about human resources, you’d see this: Managers don’t have clue one and don’t care.

iPhone - What?s wrong with a discount?
2007-09-07 22:19:00 For all the preaching that proprietary tech fans do about free enterprise and capitalist commerce, they sure don’t seem to be too happy with the end effects.
