Choosing the Next Great Tech Product Boom…or Bust
Holidays are nerve wracking for you, us, everyone. You want to buy just the right...thing. You don't want to spend too much or too little. You want it to be something the recipient will want, will use, will keep, won't go out of style tomorrow. With the speed of change in the industry that's a tough order. Even worse when you're buying something for your business or yourself. Admit it...look in your store room. Peek in the garage. Yesterday's great solutions, great answers are lying around and you wonder how you could have missed the signs. Our recommendations aren't bulletproof but maybe some of the information will help you think twice and avoid investing in another deadend revolutionary product/solution. But 20+ years in the industry working with industry leaders will give us a huge edge.

The Pros, Cons of Working, Playing in the Clouds
Don't you just love all the fun, the advantages, the freedom, the freakin mystery of the cloud? Look up -- they're light, they're fluffy, they're everywhere. Heck they're even green, ecofriendly...right? But ever so often something is dark on the horizon and the sucka comes roaring in and does some serious damage.

Cloud computing is like the last wild frontier (sure we'll have more but cloud computing/storage is one biggie) where anything, anyone can go...and it does/they do. It isn't for the faint of heart and it isn't for the dumb ones but it sure attracts them like flies.

The Wisdom of Oracle: Ellison Hits the Jackpot
It was after reading E.F. Codd’s paper called “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” that Ellison got the idea for his first product. Codd had been working at IBM on the new concept of a Structured Query Language (SQL). While successful, IBM didn’t see any commercial potential in it. Ellison, on the other hand, did.

Lesson #1: Balance Work and Play
“I think about the business all the time,” says Ellison. “Well, I shouldn't say all the time. I don't think about it when I'm wakeboarding.”
Lesson #3: Question Convention
“The most important aspect of my personality, as far as determining my success goes, has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting the experts and questioning authority,” says Ellison. “While that can be very painful in relationships with your parents and teachers, it's enormously useful in life.”

But, whether it was rebounding in school or bring Oracle back from the brink, Ellison managed to find the determination that he needed to press on.

Lesson #5: Ignore the Critics
“When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts,” says Ellison.
