Age of Convergence? Not for Designers.
| |
| For the last 10 years, internet visionaries, tech company CEOs and media moguls have told us we’re in an “Age of Convergence” that will change the way we live, learn and interact with each other. Indeed, things have changed. But if you’re involved in web design or any other type of interactive media, you probably haven’t noticed much of anything “converging.” In fact, design requirements are more diverse than ever. |

Lithium is the Next Big Investment Opportunity
| |
| Lithium is central to some of the most popular technologies including mobile devices and electric vehicles. For the foreseeable future, lithium will be a major source of power for the new energy economy. Today, lithium is where oil was in the mid 1800s, and like oil, it will grow exponentially.

Digital Marketing
| |
| Simply "Digital Marketing" = Marketing through "mobile devices" + "Internet". If blogspot allows a few GBs of space for a post, then we can probably think of expanding the latter two quoted words. Mobile devices may include a basic mobile phone, blackberryz, iPad etc and Internet includes Email marketing, Affiliate, popups, referrals, social media and so on. The effectiveness of communication through these mediums depends on how innovative one is, there are no limits in ways one can use these mediums.
Digital marketing is a term that has been around for quite sometime but hasn't been very well defined, encompassing things like banner advertising, search engine optimization (SEO) and pay per click. However, this is too narrow of a definition. What about email, RSS, voice broadcast, fax broadcast, blogging, podcasting, video streams..... |

Are Cell Phone Insurance Plans Worth It?
| |
| With the growth and popularity of cellular phones, there is a consumer urge to know that we are protected if issues arise. Consumers carry their mobile devices everywhere they go, whether it be at the office desk or on the hiking trails. It can be very easy to lose, drop, break, or get your cell phone stolen in the blink of an eye. With the dependency on technology and what the cell phone provides, what protections do consumers have? We all think that the cell phone providers give us a cheap and easy way to replace or repair our cellular phones should we have a problem, but how many have actually used the cell phone insurance provided by mobile providers? |

How Much More Connected Can You Afford to Be?
| |
| Whether you're still at the office or working in the home office or den it seems
impossible to turn work off and have a life. Face it...we're addicted to the
24x7 round-the-globe "opportunities" we have on the Internet today. Everyone's
on, no one's on. You don't even know who's on but you've gotta be there. |

Don’t Suggest Another Web Service … Give us a Reason to Change!
| |
| You have to love today's social media. Ok you don't have to love it because
there is so darned much of it and it has empowered people. Problem is some people
just shouldn't be empowered. Heck some should have their computers unplugged
and their smartphones confiscated. But sites and blogs have done an excellent
source of how-to (how-to install, how-to use, how-to fix, how-to replace, how-to
get action) information. You have to love today's social media. Ok you don't have to love it because
there is so darned much of it and it has empowered people. Problem is some people

Beyond the 3-Minute Call…Business, Entertainment or Cool
| |
| It is difficult to believe that Apple has reshaped the mobile communications industry with the iPhone but more than 5,000 applications are available for the unit. Every operating system and service provider is now offering their own apps store for their smartphones. It's an outstanding opportunity for small firms to look big. |

Hot Selling Devices Spell Great Insecurity Opportunities
| |
| OMG your iPhone tracks your movements. Well yes your Android does to and the
wireless companies and Homeland Security and Facebook and Google and Mom, Dad
and .....
How do you think you get those neat coupons when you walk by the store? How
do you think your phone service knows how to deliver a call or your email server
to deliver your spam.
You probably can't remember the last time you were alone...really alone.
Sure you thought so but you silly boy/girl !
Getting off the grid is getting even more difficult. Sometimes it's a bad thing
but overall well just don't get paranoid...you're really boring to follow.

People, Work, Play and Content Are On the Move
| |
| Of course you hang on every announcement that comes out for the serious Apple tablet contender. A few with "some" promise but most ????
Hey tablet is killing every other technology out there. Well not for people who are buying and using the products today...but tomorrow???
Living in a technology bubble we forget what the real world -- yes the whole world -- has, understands, can afford. Don't feel bad if some in your family only have a featurephone and laptop or worse, desktop. We're not being pessimistic in fact read the Insider and you'll find the hot product you want to get early for the rug rats in your life for Christmas.
Now that's planning ahead!!!!
Time to live for today but get prepared for tomorrow and beyond.

Mobile Devices - A Matter of Balance, Style
| |
| First it was a rather large (manly) computer we carried with us when we left the office, went on the road. The computer got lighter, easier to carry, more powerful.
Then came the "portable" phone...it got better to.
Next was the switch from real books to an ereader.
Then Apple had to "reinvent" the tired old tablet and ...

For Kids, It’s Just Seamless Communications
| |
| Keeping pace in the industry is tough. Especially when you have to constantly go to your kids to ask for assistance. Of course now that they're teenagers they're old and often have to go next door and ask the new up-n-comers. It was bad enough when we used the DVR - which is so yesterday now that anything worthwhile is available online 24x7. But now it's assistance with our smartphone (like help me find the app we just downloaded), our tablet (ok iPad) WiFi syncing - forgive us but gawd we love the battery life, WiFi searching on the net-ready LCD screen(s), constant patches/updates for our notebook(s) and home server. Can't wait for tomorrow to see what new thing we don't know, don't really want to know but will have to learn just to stay in the game.

Tap-n-Go is Good for Everyone But Consumers, Retailers
| |
| We just got back from holiday and discovered we had lost/misplaced a billfold we use solely on vacations. It had my scuba diving cards, really old family pictures, couple of hundred in it...nothing traumatic but still a pain. Telco folks have an answer for that turn your smartphone into a mobile wallet. We've "lost" more phones than we have billfolds. You can pick someone's pocket but can't sit across the street and hack it. But who is the mobile wallet going to benefit? Banks will get their money faster, mobile service folks will get a cut, stores buy new equipment that will be "temporarily" out of service, you can whip by the cashier faster to get back to your Facebook page or Twitter feed...whee!!!!
