It really depends what you are looking for. You really need to clarify what you want.

The reports are only as good as the people who write them and the depth they go in to. Often, I find the information is superficial, gathered from technical documents and whitepapers, without actual/significant usage/testing by them. Howeve

I have yet to meet a marketing manager that builds/codes his product(s). Maybe I should meet more marketing managers?

This is why I advocate, where possible, try-before-you-buy. It is an important decision and very costly to correctly. With regard to people in technically expert roles (CTO\CIO\etc\etc) they really must be able to walk and talk. The harde

With the recent dramatic rise in food prices it doesn't sound so bad. Here in UK rice is up 100%, cooking oil up 80%, flour up #40%, gas/electricity up ~70% etc. We are lucky though, at least there are no food riots like in south/south-east

Pen and paper is best for very early concept design but quickly becomes a chore for complex sites. To resolve this, I have tried LucidSpec ( http://www.elegancetech.com ) and AxureRP-Pro ( http://www.axure.com ) which are better in many way

Currently, I mostly follow a process outlined nicely in the link below (expect for greyscreening interactively, my grey screening is done with everyone sitting and editing a Dreamweaver template based solution together)... http://www.newfa

Terrible to hear. No one desrves that, but things like this happen all the time all over the world. If it were not for the british soldier aspect, it would never make the news.
