Note from Vincent: Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates on this blog. I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m very preoccupied with other things (that actually make me money) and really, really miss blogging on Techiteasy.org. If perchance, a random reader thinks he can blog at least 1-7x per week on business, tech, [...]
Yesterday evening I was cheerfully chatting with a friend, arranging meeting-up. – Friend : blah blah blah; – Georgia: blah blah blah; … when I saw my self posting a thing I couldn’t recognise having thought of. Neither remembering having thought in a previous conversation. chilllll. – Friend : are you nuts? why are you [...]
Bear in mind that by calling you cheapskates, I also call myself the same (plus, I’m Dutch…). Remember that I was the one raving about a €30 contract-less phone not too long ago, the Motorola Motophone (which I have since given to my mother, who hates it). Since moving to Luxembourg, less than a month [...]
Judging from Vincent’s latest post (and the comments!) about why he thinks Android will suck, there are many misunderstandings about global smartphone markets. First of all, they are a small subset of all handset market – just about 10%. There are many who are blinded by their US-centric power-user views. The echo chamber of blogs [...]
Hello again, Vincent here. Excuse me, I seem to be in a cranky mood lately, as far as technology goes, probably explaining my public rants towards the Facebooks and Scobles of this world. But I can’t let that stop me, here’s another one, aimed at Google’s Android. Yesterday, Rich Miner, group manager for mobile platforms [...]
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I can only guess what the man on the right picture is doing here. I guess he makes our new blogger, Ms. Georgia Psyllidou (left), look good. I’d like to spend some time, introducing her to you. Georgia is actually an acquaintance of Jeremy’s, though she caught my attention by some [...]
I’ve only got a few minutes to write this post, so pardon me if I’m sketchy on the details. A blogpost at GigaOm covers some of the iterations that social networks on the internet went through over the years. Pretty interesting, though incomplete. The author also warns that it is dangerous to predict the next [...]
I’m exhausted and it’s only half of the study trip, but I enjoy SO MUCH going with a great bunch of cool guys to amazing companies like OQO, Netvibes, City Council of SF, l’Atelier US, eBay, Box.net, SRI, Stanford, Meetro and tomorrow Twitter, Neocase, Microsoft, Google, Plug & Play, the Churchill Club, XOBNI – & the day after [...]
Thanks to Emmanuel, also a blogger on Tech IT Easy, for pointing this video to me. Have you ever tried to recall how the world went round before we had cell phones, laser printers, wireless and unlimited bandwidth at a fixed subscription price? Well if not, then this video might prove enlightening..& funny (I had AOL, [...]
Until now, we have all been happy (and confused) about web 2.0. What is it built on? Ajax, Flash,Silverlight, Air, Php? Is it a platform or is it an app? And, what the hell is it? Tim O’Reilly has done his best to build upon his original naming of the phenomenon Web 2.0. According to [...]
Here’s a little fact sheet mixed with some thoughts on Green IT. Green IT is a truly serious topic that should be thought over and tackled over a long period of time. There is not one answer to the sustainable development challenge. On thing that’s pretty sure though is that Information Technology, an industry that [...]
Yesterday, as I was reading an article on portfolio management in my issue of HBR, important news (to some) was announced: Palm has cancelled the release of the Foleo—it’s ultra-mobile laptop solution. I can’t speak for all, but as a fairly mobile person and a writer, I find the idea of ultra-portable devices with good [...]
There has been a good deal of literature on the recent subprime mortgage financial so-called crisis. I haven’t seen anything related to the impact of this downturn on the high tech industry. Let’s hence cross the chasm and write a brief note about it. In short and broadly speaking, what the subprime lending crunch is [...]
Bon appêtit. Steve, too tired to post anything consistent tonight, is a co-author on Tech IT Easy. You can find out more about him on this blog’s initial announcement. Like Unlike
…about a week ago @ VirtuOZ party in Paris. Thank you Franck Lassagne from Giiks (in French) for bringing yours. I could only play with it for a few seconds as Cédric Giorgi – see my blogroll, left in the background, and Jérôme Bouteiller, from NetEco, wanting bad to steal it from me. Which [...]
