That's precisely what I say elsewhere in this discussion. Lack of HTML5 means we wont support WP7. Period. I'd love to support WP7. More competition. Keep Apple and Google on their toes. No problem with that. But no HTML5? Game over. Decisi

I'm not following Phone7 closely enough to have noticed that. So, if the absence of HTML5 is not a "strategic" decision what is it? I don't mean to be inflammatory, but it strikes me as being a completely barking decision. The world and its

The tv went completely this year. The only time it's missed is for sports' events. But if it's a must-watch, there's always somewhere showing it, and that often turns into a fun social event. Here in the UK, we do have the wonderful BBC, wh

Talk about Old Skool British behaviour. I grew up with this mentality and have been merrily waving it goodbye for the past couple of decades. As well as the suggestions in the article's comments, I'd drop a tweet to Glynn Moody (@glynmoody)

I've done this, almost exactly, with a client by using Redmine rather than email. Forcing communication through the web interface, but sending notifications via email. It worked really well. And folk (all non-tech) adjusted very quickly, si

Yes. You need to change behaviour, which in a business (depending on many things) often requires an edict from the top. Not always, I know. I have worked with clients who grasped this need. One wrote their own call management system for sal

Absolutely. With email, business knowledge gets hidden in someone's inbox. It's of absolutely no value to the business in there. It's a hard sell to get a business to change its behaviour and keep its information elsewhere where it can be s

You can't base world travel on the Atacama desert. I mean, I'd love to go there, but it's one of the most hostile places for life on the planet. I'm all for avoiding people for a break, but there are places with a bit more life and colour w

No, never, honestly. Life is a sequence of half chances. You make your choices, and you make them for good reasons at the time. Looking at the past doesn't mean that the present would be as it is if you'd made different choices. That's a th

I turned down a meeting with Bill Gates in 1982. It was a personal connection, and we were going to meet at his house; maybe his dad's house, maybe he was still living there, I don't recall. MS was ~150 employees at the time and hiring like

Fascinating, because I have a newspaper cutting with this quote attributed to him that must be more than 20 years old. I'm not doubting you. It's just I've always had this quote in my head and attributed it to Kroc. It doesn't matter, of co

You reminded me of a quote by Ray Kroc, the guy responsible for McDonald's growth: "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common that unsuccessful individuals with talent. Genius will not;

The author's engagement is key, absolutely. But the fact remains that the good was freely available, regardless. However, the spike in sales would never have happened if the book hadn't been freely available to start with. This is a measura

But I bet you are allowed investments, sit on boards, and draw funds from a trust. If so, what a horrible throw back to ancient times. Are you sanctioned to work during vacations? While creative accountancy can sidestep some of your restric

The CEO must push/sell the technological vision, but he must not make it. Not in a company the size of Microsoft. I won't miss Microsoft, but their inability to define a vision, communicate, and execute it is voyeuristic to observe. That sa

Visionary is a retrospective label. It's also pop-culture meaningless. You can't, in the present, be "visionary". That's just silly (unless you're from the future). I was only last week listening to Cory Doctorow interviewing William Gibson

First off, I had a bad PayPal experience years ago, so no amount of discussion would persuade to me to use them. I wouldn't use them if they, or anyone else, paid me. They are that bad. Putting my bias aside, what you need to consider is th
