That said I was just looking through a post on a connection profile on Linkedin on the
It’s funny right, however this rather satirical (not the right word but I like it) clip from the Muppet’s really hit the chord for me - I am going to follow up on a post, so just put this in as a place holder for the time being.
Little furry salesperson Grover - It goes around trying to sell Kermit earmuffs when he doesn’t have ears and a tothbrush when he doesn’t have teeth! marvellous, a stroke of brilliance and it seems that Jim Henson hit the hidden messages long before the Simpsons - I was just too young

This is super interesting …. check this out. I really cannot believe this guy when he is worth as much as a small country, should be fun to watch unfold …. its sort of the same as the RIM issue some years back. Licensing companies with the sole purpose if making money through IP.
A firm owned by billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen today sued Apple, Facebook, Google, YouTube, and seven other companies, charging them with infringing patents filed more than a decade ago.

This is a great article sent to me by a colleague – Jonathan Fisher. This sort of follow’s up on my post on OpenOffice. Oracle has been quietly in the background building up a significant portfolio of enterprise plays. Considering all the posting I have been doing on RIM that is a accumulation of thoughts over quite some time, RIM could be a significant acquisition for Oracle. Clearly a long shot, costly and complex but with the current position of RIM sat on an island that is slowly being eroded it could be a very good home.

Apologies for the silence, I have taken a nice break from technology for a bit to spend some time with my wife and kids.

It smells and actually stinks – why all of a sudden have so many countries kicked this up as a big enough deal to switch the service off – Gulf, Middle East, India …. 9/11 happened in 2001?

The world must seem like a very lonely place if your BlackBerry at the moment. Technology aside, BlackBerry has always had an intensely loyal following due to clever design at every level.
The users loved the ability to scratch their ‘itch’ easily – its like wearing a watch, we just check it even though we don’t need to know the time. The IT folk embraced it because it was now in their control, they have the BES and it stopped you or me doing anything they did not want us to do. The security teams stamped it because of the unique way in which it ran – the first private cloud service if you will from device through network and the network operators loved it, fat margins and a legitimate reason to hook you into a data tariff.

Take them on face value or look deeper
Behind the formal complaints from small technology companies and trade associations that are often the trigger to antitrust reviews in Brussels, a power game is being played out between some of the industry’s leading household names.
