Louisiana Governor Lashes Out at Bush

Because, you know, well Hurricane Katrina just hasn’t received enough attention and well, you know, the State of Louisiana has just done so much with the money that’s already been sent down there. Yeah that’s right, the Federal government should send more of your tax dollars to the state so that they will continue to [...]

FreeConferenceCall.com

Used this for the first time today, it was the absolute worst conf call setup I have ever been on. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

UPDATE: Rod called them yesterday to find out why the quality was so bad. The support person said “make sure nobody is using VOIP”. Crikey, that might [...]

Interesting Business Trends

I named this post “Interesting Business Trends” for a couple of reasons. Despite the fact that the world is flat, a point that James Governor and I argued (the good kind of argument) about just today, there are regional manufacturing strengths that cannot be ignored and the flattening of the earth really means that these [...]

Microsoft Acquiring SAP Rumor (again)

There is yet another rumor circulating about Microsoft acquiring SAP, let’s call this one “version 3,453.2″. I’m not that plugged into SAP anymore so take my comments here with that in mind.

To me this makes no sense at all. Sure Microsoft wants to get a bigger piece of the pie in big enterprise accounts and [...]

I should have gone into the cable business…

Can someone explain to me why in the hell an 8′ HDMI cable should cost $130?

PS- Here’s a good source for A/V cables.

Valley job recovery is `real’

An anecdotal observation to this assertion in the Merc about the Valley job market growth being legitimate; I went to a office furniture liquidation outlet this week to pick up a conference table, some chairs, and whiteboards (cuz that’s how we roll at Teqlo, lean) and I asked the guy running the place how his [...]

When the Speed of Light Isn’t

This is a really interesting story about some scientific work that has resulted in a technique to slow the speed of light to the point that it is potentially useful as a carrier for information, read the whole thing for the full context of the research.

Physicists said the new approach to taming light could hasten [...]

MingleNow Clinks It’s Way to Ching-Ching

Blue Lithium’s MingleNow service is apparently off to a good start having snagged Anheuser-Busch as a client. They are running a promotion aimed at bringing some social networking to something that is inherently social to begin with, drinking. The Clink promotion is clever and goes a long way to overcoming any impression that MingleNow is [...]

Netflix Exec Provides TMO With Clarifications on Mac Support

Netflix’s new streaming service is really exciting, unless you are a Mac user in which case the Microsoft DRM they are using makes it incompatible. Bummer.

On a related note, the “view once” delivery model makes me uncomfortable, I would much more prefer a “view 3 times” or some variation. A lot can happen with [...]
