Slightly used Apple Pippin anyone?

I work for a marketing software company, or is it a software marketing company? Anyway, I'm sure someone would have told me if it was important. I find that as the speed of technological innovation increases it has become increasingly difficult to sort the wheat from the chaf. I'm very much of the opinion that one should wait for the dust to settle, listen to a few trusted, bleeding-edge friends and then go for a nice walk instead. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of technology, it pays for the roof over my head for starters.

Modern life is marketing. Technology is modern life. Feel free to interchange any of these words. Except for modern life is modern life - actually that works! Sort of. Get back to the point Ed. The key to technological innovation is a) making people believe that they can't live without it and b) making people feel left out if they don't use it...oh ok, and some useful stuff. Success in the first two areas is down to the marketing men. I bet that bed-headed marketing bod at Apple that came up with the Pippin branding is still running tea errands for the rest of the team. I've already emailed them to discuss my idea of reintroducing it as the Apple iPippin..I understand they're mulling the idea over, well they haven't actually responded but no news is good news.

We use Yammer where i work. It's like Twitter but isolated to users within your domain. It should have died a death because it's really, really dull but we have been asked to use it because that's the game we're in. A friend of mine works in printing..he encourages the use of junk mail. That's the WORLD we live in folks.

I like technologies that don't make you feel like the Great Surprendo has entered the room with a rather big mirror and a hefty box of smoke.

Opera 5, introduced, back in 2000, the world to the POP-UP blocker! That's true, user-centric innovation. Along with numerous other concessions to usability and accessibility.
I've always liked the Opera browser because I never feel like the devil himself is pulling the strings. What more endorsement is there in a world full of paranoia, deceipt and rampant capitalism? [Follow link]


Anyway, that's my 400. I'd love to go to Oslo. Tusen Takk.
