IPhone

Ok, I give up. It is too much the temptation to write something about a new gadget everybody is talking about. The thing is cool, no doubt about that. I've been eagerly looking for critics about its flaws but to be fair...they seem minimal.

Apple did it again and the whole computing/telecommunication industry will certainly benefit from the IPhone; I've been waiting for a similar device for years and Apple seems to be giving the final push to a sector that have been dragging its feet for years (at least on the user interface aspects).

No, I don't think I will get an IPhone. I will wait from the competitors response, one that includes "real" impact applications such as a browser that supports flash and silverlight, a decent document reader (pdf and xps), office and of course, exchange. IPhone 2.0.... maybe?

Will Microsoft come with a Zune Phone?...mmm highly unlikely.

Will Motorola, Nokia and the Blackberry makers hit Apple back with a similar product? You bet.

All in all, I welcome the IPhone.

Did you know the PSP can do many of the things you mention in your article? It obviously lacks the phone abilities as of now, but the homebrew community is very active with the dying Sony platform.

hThe PSP doesn't have a multi-touch screen and can't connect to cellular broadband.

But yes, the PSP is a cool gadget.

Saving bucks by keeping your heater warm

When I first heard the suggestion of putting a blanket around my heater I thought: what??!!! After painfully findind that indeed our apartment water heater is an electric one (I know, I should have noticed it before duhh! ) and receiving 100+ dollars bills each month for electricity I decided to dig into the blanket suggestion. It turns out that there are special blankets (jackets) for water heaters that make them be more efficient and reduce the consumption of electricity (supposedly). So my wife and I decided to purchase one in home depot... hopefully our electricity bill will get reduced a bit.

Achieving Sustained Agility

Hi, my name is Humberto, Carnegie Mellon alum with over 15 years of experience as a Product Manager, including a significant and ongoing tenure at Microsoft, where I focus on developing platforms and products for both enterprise and consumers. During my career, as well as through the experiences shared by colleagues at various organizations, I've observed teams sometimes struggle to achieve sustained agility and fall into the "Hamster Wheel of Haste". In this post I will explain the nature of this pattern, its signs, and how teams and leaders can improve with proven techniques.  Definition The hamster wheel of haste is a permanent state of feeling too busy, wanting to make fast progress but being unable to do so over a sustained period. This leads teams to neglect efforts that would help them increase their speed and rely on short term crutches that further perpetuate the cycle. When teams remain in this state for too long, it inevitably leads to burnout. ⚠️Warning Sig...

Guitar Hero III...tomorrow!!

Tomorrow I'll finally get my hands on a copy of Guitar Hero III with the wireless guitar. I had to pay an undisclosed amount of money for it on ebay... hope it is worth the deal; if not I'll have to seek revenge from the friends that introduced me to the addiction (GH2). On a side note... We (the CRM Team) got our new release out the door last friday :) ...as a reward we will have a couple of extra days of vacations [Insert video of Borat saying: "Nice"]
