This isn't a rigorous benchmarked lab test yet

This isn't a rigorous benchmarked lab test yet, but I found something bizarre this morning. After fixing a little router problem, I tested the download speeds on my DSL line from AT&T and my cable Internet line from Time Warner Cable. I have both for product testing needs.

Google-watching, now a fine art, went into hyperdrive with their new Chrome browser (one of many stories here). Some reports say Chrome already has one percent of the browser market, an impressive rollout.

Besides being a new browser, Chrome also helps the move toward a Browser OS. Back in the old days when DOS diehards bumped into World Wide Web early adopters, I recommended a fpcbp160 company build a browser on top of DOS. This would have spread the browser reach while providing the diehards a way to keep DOS and avoid Windows. The company thought the idea was interesting, but had their own ideas for growth. I'm not saying my idea would have saved them, but the company is gone now, for what it's worth.

The World of Macintosh, filled with more people with more fanaticism than World of Warcraft, is all abuzz (and atwitter and ablogging) about MacWorld. Why this year more than most? Because this is MacWorld's swan song, since Apple says they will no longer put on this annual January show. Even worse, Steve Jobs won't address the pilgrims, er, attendees, so the WOM is full of speculation Steve may retire. They can't imagine Apple without Steve Jobs. Can you imagine your company without you or other critical employees? Can your customers?

Ignoring the horde of AppleNuts, and there are seemingly millions, the idea of Steve Jobs leaving Apple makes many watchers nervous for Apple. Many feel only Steve can lead Apple. While a hp mini1050 battery nice testament to Steve's charisma, this may be an indictment of his leadership. If no one can imagine Apple After Steve, we can certainly say Steve hasn't properly planned for all contingencies of management. After all, everyone can be hit by that proverbial truck at any time.

I discovered why SaaS (Software as a Service) remains a scary proposition to many small businesses: they listen to really, really bad advice. You know, scary stories full of lies, incompetent research, and self-serving bias masquerading as journalism. The most recent putrid prose comes from BusinessWeek.com in a column called Beware the Hype for Software as a Service.

I'm all for hype wariness, no questions. I'm all for contrarian views. However, I hate seeing small business hp mini1000 battery people get bad advice from trusted sources. I'm not sure what BusinessWeek's goal is with this column, but it appears they're playing writer Gene Marks as a technology advice shock jock or something similar. You know, a mouthpiece that spews nonsense in order to outrage rather than inform.
