Influency: When You Can’t Find Yourself, Who Can Find You?

All the tools in the world don’t matter, if you use them like toys.Having 50 GB OF FREE CLOUD STORAGE!!! isn’t meaningful unless you use it, any more than having more pixels on a screen than you can see.

I’ve just come across Otixo. It’s a great solution to a growing problem; we have “stuff” scattered all across the Internet in various “cloud” locations, but as soon as you use more than one you create questions about what got stored where. And good luck moving things from one place to another.

Otixo Cloud Computing and Easier Storage Management

Nothing is Free—Except Maybe Google (But Not Really)

Google. Monopolies. Free Service Gone Paid, Business Change

Nothing is Free. Nothing. Is. Free. NOTHING IS EVER FREE.

You knew that, right?

I’ve been sharing my ideas about business change with you for years, and one of the themes that’s recurred over and over is that Google—even if somewhere deep in their bowels they still believe in their old corporate ‘Don’t Be Evil‘ credo—has become and will continue to become more and more evil.

Of course, business is business; ‘evil’ no more belongs in a business lexicon than ‘justice’ belongs in a discussion about law.

From AAA to ByeByeBye: How SpringPad Made Me Throw Them Away

One of the earliest pieces I wrote here and filed under “business change” was this one about changes made to password manager software SplashID. And while many of the thoughts I pass along are instructional from a cautionary tale/think twice perspective, it’s rare that I out and out say “Holy Cow, You Just Screwed Me And So Now  I’m Done Using Or Recommending Your Product”.

I stayed with SpalshID for a while after that piece was written, but the die was cast and I pretty well knew it had been. SpringPad’s just done something so heinous, there will be no second chances.

The Storage Wars and Google Drive

Yesterday I promised to tell you everything you need to know about Google Drive. GDrive is a subject that been tossed around literally for years; we all knew Google Drive would show up eventually, and if “storing your stuff on line” was the only thing that interested you, it’s possible that you figured out how to create a virtual “Google Drive” years ago by putting your files into GMail.

The Simplicity of World Domination (Google Owns Everything)

Back in the day, when I spent a lot of time being The Computer Answer Guy, I built my street cred giving a little talk about how you couldn’t go wrong being full-on into all things Microsoft. I’m no longer inclined to throw my mind and soul into the goings on of the folks in Redmond, and have gone so far as to suggest that Microsoft is becoming irrelevant.

This despite Microsoft’s inroads in areas like . . . batteries. ;-)
