Chris Dannen — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:22:57 -0500

Google's much-anticipated desktop operating system, Chrome OS (debuting in late 2010), has one main selling point: It's free. The search company plans to give the software to computer makers in an attempt to amplify its rivalry against Microsoft. That's Google's way -- nearly everything it makes is free to users.

Kindle DX: Why Size Matters

Robert Fabricant — Wed, 06 May 2009 12:45:34 -0400

People have a lot of expectations for the new, larger-sized Kindle DX. Interesting how a shift in size / form factor can hold the fate of an entire industry (newspapers in this case) in its hand. Wow, the power of industrial design! I wish a larger screen could save the Boston Globe. But I doubt that is the case, at least not in the way people are hoping.

Could Microsoft Build a Great Phone?

Microsoft and Verizon might be conspiring to build an iPhone challenger. The two companies make an inauspicious team: sales of Microsoft's Zune media player, the likely basis for the new device, have been in freefall for months. Verizon's last big bet, the Blackberry Storm, wasn't that great.

Most Disappointing iPhone App

danny d — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:36:40 -0400

Name the most useful iPhone app which is also the worst?

It is WSJ 's iphone web. WSJ : Wall Street Journal

WSJ's iphone app suppost to let you view articles and news of WSJ on your iPhone.

But
8 out of 10 times, I cannot connect to it @ Starbucks or other Wifi
places. Even if I cannot connect it, it's slow...slowww... and super
SLOW

So I gave up on WSJ . Can't they make it faster? Don't they have the IT resources or speed up their servers?

WSJ Says BOO!

Terry Tamminen — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:50:47 -0400

With Halloween just over, the Wall Street Journal jumped out from behind a hedge fund and tried to scare the business community right out of its Brooks Brothers boxers. Like most haunted houses and scary apparitions at this time of year however, WSJ’s was as fake as a Sarah Palin mask on your next-door neighbor’s pit bull.

We’ve all got work-related stuff in a little pile waiting for that moment when we have time to stop, think and pay attention — the magazine articles to tackle, connections to pursue, ideas to expand on, skills to improve, all those things that might blossom into something great, but that are not urgent.

At Toyota, they’ve found the time to pay attention to those things. It’s called the economic downturn.
