19 Moore’s Laws ago, Casio sold a wristwatch for $94 with a capacitive touch screen that allowed you to use a calculator through touch-handwriting. How good are we if we had that technology in 1984? How far have we really progressed?

And the peculiar evil genius of Amazon is that Amazon seems to be trying to simultaneously establish a wholesale monopsony and a retail monopoly in the ebook sector.

Agile is a Sham
williamedwardscoder:
As I wade through my spam folder, it’s full of invitations to expensive courses to make me certified this or trained in that. Selling the whole new agile way forward is big business. Some are on-line but most are proper hotel things where, for some four digit number of dollars, I can bring home my own pack of playing cards and be qualified to use them!
For the first time in our history, Facebook drove...
Eighteen months ago, search represented 40% of the Guardian’s traffic and social represented just 2%. Six months ago – before the launch of our Facebook app – these figures had barely moved.
A recent Pew report echoed these figures, revealing that just 9% of digital news consumers follow news recommendations from Facebook or from Twitter. That compares with 32% who get news from search.
But last...
Since 2005, print advertising revenue has dropped by 56%. And the $20.6 billion it brought last year has to be compared with the $3.2 billion scored by digital operations. Overall, despite the growth of their digital business, American newspapers have lost 52% in revenue from advertising since 2005.
46% of U.S. adults use smartphones as of February 2012. This means smartphone owners now outnumber those with basic mobile devices. (source)
48% of Americans (according to another source) and 66% of Americans 24-34 year olds owned a smartphone January. (source)
47.6% of mobile Internet customers use native mobile apps and 47.5% use the Web browser on their devices. This is the first time...

I am a lousy copywriter
April 19, 1955 Dear Mr. Calt: On March 22nd you wrote to me asking for some notes on my work habits as a copywriter. They are appalling, as you are about to see: 1. I have never written an advertisement in the office. Too many interruptions. I do all my writing at home. 2. I spend a long time studying the precedents. I look at every advertisement which has appeared for competing products during...

It’s amazing what you can learn when you don’t have cable TV:
peaceful.com says “coming soon”.
joyful.com is a one-man software shop. At least he’s Irish.
disappointed.com tells you to get over it.
angry.com and sad.com are both for sale.
happy.com redirects to Walgreen’s pharmacy.

Essentially, all UI design is about manipulating users, whether you’re coming up with the most easily understood button labels that will get people to click on the correct button, the most readable typeface that will get people to read your essay, or design ideas taken from videogames. The goal of UI design is to get people to use our products successfully. That’s «manipulating people».

The fact that vendors of cloud services and SaaS tools are seducing business managers into violating corporate policies by signing their own IT contracts is a governance issue that Boards need to stamp on before somebody takes their company down. And in the meantime IT needs to do some serious discovery and policing. These maverick business units are like children who have run away from...
