Thanks for this info. I have one Facebook friend, unemployed, who is a cat-lover with nothing better to do than post about 100 pictures of adorable cats a day. Now, I like kitties, but enough is enough! Unfriending her would...

Why do tech writers always try to compare new tablets to the ipad,? Sure it's the gold standard... But if you are in the market for a Hyundai Accent, you probably don't care how it stacks up to a Rolls Royce. Different strokes...

Innovation results from creativity. I don't think there is any process that can replicate creativity and provide it on demand. Group-based efforts at forcing creativity to appear on demand often seem to result in nothing...

One might argue that Angry Birds could have done the trick for Microsoft if they had been able to act sooner, but, at this point, I think it's unlikely that a game can make it happen. Microsoft's best way to increase...

Hi, Dak3 - That is a common lament. I suggest we keep in mind that these are economic entities we're talking about, not people. So any "reputational damage" *must* reflect in higher costs or lower revenue. While that is...
