Owning it!

Published on January 23rd, 2012 by in zoho

Many of you who read my blogs know that I have a great love for a company called Zoho. Here is one of the many reasons why: https://blogs.zoho.com/our-friday-outage-and-actions-we-are-taking/

No blame, no pointing at their partners, no false sense of security. With trust comes responsibility. Accepting payment for that responsibility deepens the need for accountability.

No excuses, owning it!

Continuous carrier crap

Saw this earlier from John Gruber (DaringFireball).
John’s right and that’s just sad…

The truth is that Ice Cream Sandwich — which I believe is the first truly significant improvement to Android since it debuted — is effectively a preview of next year’s Android for the mass market. – @gruber

When a new operating system for a device is released, it should be available to the devices capable of running that OS similar to Apple’s platform, however ,for Android that just doesn’t seem to be the case. This is at the feet of the carriers for any blame. The BS practice of putting an overlay on top of the base operating system completely destroys the true functionality and unnecessarily delays a roll out if not stops it in its tracks anytime a mobile OS (other than iOS) is updated. Load of crap that the carriers use to force users to upgrade thereby locking them into another 2 year contract…

Coming off CES this is blatantly obvious. There were a ton of new Android devices shows, but very, VERY few mentioned or were demoed Ice Cream Sandwich. Well other than “we promise an upgrade”…

Analyst: Apple iPad Shocker – No 7″ iPad coming! Or Duh, I need a Headline to Grab Readers…

A few weeks ago, “rumors” were floating around that Apple:

will build the smaller slate to “cope with increasing market competition including the 7-inch Kindle Fire from Amazon and the launch of large-size smartphones from handset vendors.”

Now, a new “in the know” person is stating nope.

A new note from Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair suggests that Apple has no such plans, however, and it will stick to a 9.7-inch panel when it launches new iPad models next year.

Conjecture and crap. If you ARE interested in a 7″ tablet, buy a fire or Nook Tablet, but be prepared to live with the issues found there. If you watch Apple closely, like I’d like to think I do, (and I expect “analysts should…”) you’d know that Apple never bends to “market competition” to release a product. They find opportunity in redefining a market space (iPod, iPhone, MacBook Air) or creating a market (iPad). Even then Apple designs the best product they can at the time within a reasonable cost margin and a expectantly realistic, even if high(er) retail price to provide profit…
