I’ve been patiently waiting for this move and now it’s here. While Facebook is still the gorilla in the social media room, it’s worth setting up your company’s Google+ page online. I’m certainly going to!
In life we connect with all kinds of people, places and things. There’s friends and family, of course, but there’s also the sports teams we root for, the coffee shops we’re loyal to, and the TV shows we can’t stop watching (to name a few).
So far Google+ has focused on connecting …
And here I thought I was the big man on campus running my desktop PC with 8 logical processors. Check out this graphic below. This is really only designed for server-class machines but you know how that goes; pretty soon we’ll have 64 processors not only on our desk but probably the mobile phone.
Below is the Windows 7 Task Manager CPU performance tab on a system with 160 logical processors.

I’m a huge fan of Google apps and was continually frustrated in connecting my native Google Apps account to Google Plus. I had to workaround it and use my personal Gmail account. I’m glad that’s over. Google finally enabled Google+ inside Google Apps and business users everywhere are cheering

Special thanks to Lisa Kubota and photographer “Peter” for giving me the chance to put in my two cents on Steve Jobs passing.
I know many Sprint customers who wanted an iPhone will be happy to know that they can have their unlimited cake for $79.99/mo. This includes 450 minutes. I’ve got a similar plan on Sprint (for my EVO 4G) and because this plan (of mine) has unlimited mobile to mobile minutes AND most of my phone calls are to other mobile phones, I’m usually way under my limit every month. It’s a great deal.
I’ve read other reports saying that Sprint “bet the farm” on the iPhone4s so good …
Steve Jobs was more than just a a tech industry visionary and genius. Historians will see him in the same genre as the Henry Fords and Nelson Rockefellers. Let’s just think about what Apple-channeling-Steve brought to our world: from a strictly product perspective: Apple ][, Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and iTunes. From a cultural perspective, he brought us the personal computer, the mp3 music player for the rest of us, the smartphone for the rest of us, the tablet for the rest of us, legitimized digital music …
Apple is clearly the world’s greatest consumer electronics company and today’s unveiling of the new iPhone 4S keeps them on top of all the other players. Key features like full HD 1080p video recording, improved camera, and integration with “Siri” a futuristic gee-whiz feature that acts as a personal assistant to your voice. The demo shot here shows Siri helping me find a Greek restaurant which is pretty cool because I’m Greek! :)

Any installed app that has “Full Internet Access” permissions (which you would think is most if not all apps as they typically use a Net connection for their functionality) also has access to a lot what we might regard as private data including phone and sms log data (including phone numbers)
Many HTC phones have been identified as affected, including EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Thunderbolt, and Shift. Other HTC phones may be vulnerable too but that has not been confirmed. You can get in-depth technical information from “Android …
Every so often Google launches one of those “gee whiz” features and this is one of them. Maybe you’ll be the one to uncover the next theoConspiracy?

Summary: If you get an email about something that’s too good to be true, always Google it with the word “hoax” appended. You’ll be amazed to find out that Elvis has indeed passed away and aliens have not in fact invaded the president’s brain.
Today I got an email from a family member asking me about whether she should buy the iphone 5. I asked her why and she loved the idea of the “holographic keyboard”. Huh? Suddenly I thought perhaps I was getting out-geeked by family members learning about …
