Recently, I came across a potential customer who was being sold RFID by a competitor.

However, when talking with the client, he started using phrases such as IP68 protection, etc, etc. Now, usually, […]

Every tech blog worth it’s digital bytes seems to talk ad nauseum about how the iTunes Store has locked in users with the app purchases and hence it will be difficult for people to move from iPhones/iPads to competing devices.
Well, if that is the way you frame an argument, you know who has the biggest, […]

I always believed that I was more of a producer than a consumer. I generated ideas, thoughts and discussions rather than meekly follow them in other people’s blogs, news articles or facebook walls.
However, over the last few months, I have noticed my laziness manifest itself in the form of my becoming a consumer of content […]

There is something we have always done at our house for as long as I can remember.
My mom ensures that we save old newspapers, bottles, plastic bags, etc and that they are sold to the “raddi-wala” (it is a nice article, read it) at the end of each month. The total cash is then given […]

Microsoft has for very long invested billions of dollars into their technology R&D departments.
I mean, they had the Tablet PC with wonderful handwriting recognition, Windows Mobile (PocketPC) with on-screen transcriber running on a low low 128MB ram with sub-200 Mhz processors. Visual Basic (and Visual Studio by extension) allowed really newbie programmers to just […]

The simplest way of knowing when your marketing is getting it right is the exact moment when the phones start ringing (or emails start coming in from prospective clients). Incoming sales leads are the direct result of and the much sought-after marketing nirvana.
However, this is also the time for the dreaded “too big net” effect. […]

I’m a Microsoft fanboy. People who know me, know that.
However, let me tell you about stuff that has happened to me over the last week …
Outlook did something stupid last week… I could not see the “content/body” of my emails. Just the “from address” and “subject line”. I could not see the “body” […]

Here’s one way …
A cousin of mine didn’t get (or maybe “didn’t want”) a cellphone while he was so young. So he never bothered to push his parents for one over the years.
Then, over this summer, he started borrowing his mom’s cellphone to send text messages. When the bill came, it was high enough that […]

This has been in the back of my mind for a while now, ever since I started reading about how cool Palm’s new WebOS is. Then followed by their hardware design (that Pre slider is awesome). Then followed by stories of how sloppy their hardware build quality was and finally about how difficult it has […]
