In this way companies could introduce market forces into their IT departments and begin to measure happiness and productivity while enabling both.

Macs making bigger enterprise gains than rest of PC market

I read tech news everyday, I was an early adopter of just about everything and I’ve usually already got tired of it before everyone else starts using it. (I’m talking to you Twitter and Foursquare.)

But I never even heard about Google Wave and I still don’t know what it is and don’t care. I assume if there were anything good about it, Google would have mentioned it once or twice.

Have you heard of it?

If my cabler company (Comcast) introduces this it will be difficult not to switch. However that lifetime subscription would be hard to give up after only a year. But when it could be that much easier…

Time Warner Cable entering the iPhone app game

We have the people at TiVo to thank for that not happening. Why is it that nobody at TiVo seems to have any good ideas. I hate the fact that I have to hunt and peck through TiVo’s crappy interface to select the correct show when I’ve got an iPhone with a full keyboard in my pocket.

The TiVo could even keep doing what it’s doing while I work with the interface on my phone. Imagine being able to add a season pass during a commercial without having to stop the show your watching. It would be easy, but TiVo sucks now. It’s the biggest disappointment.

Hopefully someday Apple will come out with a DVR that will blow TiVo away.

New Apple hire confirms iPhone 5 as ‘iWallet’

Motorola Droid 2 R2-D2 Edition Picture Leaked On The Web

Lately more and more of the stories have been making me feel uncomfortable. I could tell that CNET News wasn’t interested in reporting the truth, they were just interested in reporting the controversy.

When I started reading the linked story I just couldn’t believe how bad it was. It used false arguments and bad logic left and right and anyone who did the least amount of research could see it was a story bought and paid for by lobbyists for big broadband providers.

Aren’t trusted web sites supposed to protect us from this stuff instead of featuring it? It’s a very evil thing to promote corporate agendas under the guise of hearing “all sides of the story.” I personally don’t want to hear all sides, I only want to hear the sides that make sense.

So goodbye CNET News, I won’t miss you. Really, what’s to miss?

Just say no to Ma Bell-era Net neutrality regulation

I first saw this story a couple of days ago. I ignored it because it came from the New York Post, a tabloid owned by Rupert Mudoch. I also ignored it because it makes no sense.

The story is apparently about the continued investigation of Apple by the FTC (and now Europe) for making business decisions. Huh?

Apple is not a monopoly or even close to it. There could be nothing about any decision Apple could make that would be officially anti-competitive in the legal sense. The reason these stories fly is that Apple bashers are easily confused. They get to thinking that Apple doing something they don’t like which affects another company is somehow illegal. It isn’t.

Think about it, what’s the FTC going to do? Force Apple to include competitors software on their devices. Does that mean all devices and all competitors. Does it mean other companies too? Will all companies have to support flash and every device they make? Even if it doesn’t work?

Also apparently the FTC is very secretive about its plans. So secretive only the New York Post knows about them. The Wall Street Journal, also owned by Rupert Murdoch, doesn’t even know. But the plans aren’t secret from the European agencies. They probably discuss them at the monthly meetings where they discuss secretly controlling the world. But the European agencies are also very secretive, again with the exception of the New York Post.

Isn’t it really just more likely that the Post accepts money to plant fake stories by some publicist that Adobe hired? Or even that they just lie to make more money? They’re just like CNET News!

Report: EU joining FTC Apple probe

So you’re at McDonald’s, who cares? So you’re at the Eiffel Tower? Still, who cares? If you’re having any fun at all you won’t be worried about checking in.

One entertaining last step of the 12 steps of Foursquare is checking in places you’re not. So you’re at McDonald’s, but wouldn’t it be more interesting if you checked in at Planned Parenthood half a mile away? Yes, but even that gets boring.

Dear Facebook, don’t bother.
