Vista’s biggest problem is Windows XP

Who would have expected that the biggest competition for Vista would be Windows itself. It is obvious, both anecdotally and statistically, that Windows XP remains absurdly sticky in the market and consumers see little reason to upgrade to Vista, and enterprises will force Microsoft to continue to support XP for a very long time. There’s […]

Under the Radar - Mobility

Swung down to the UTR event on mobility today. I missed the morning session because I had to go to traffic court ($122, no traffic school option), so I missed the search and discovery session that featured two of my recent favorite companies, Boopsie and Buzzwire, and the publishing platform session featuring Mobio.

Paid vs. Free vs. Someone Else Pays

Whenever debates flair up about the merits of free content versus premium subscription content, well someone has to throw up the Wall St. Journal’s online efforts.

Marines vs. MADD

 

“A dispute currently pits the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, California, against MADD. The Corps wants Marines serving under the age of 21 to have the right to consume alcoholic beverages. MADD is steadfastly opposed, and is spear-heading efforts to block the Corps from accomplishing this feat.”

I am going with the Marines in this firefight… […]
