Just after the release of Lion, Apple’s latest desktop operating system, I was catching up with Gabe when he made an observation that’s been rattling around in my head ever since.
As we talked about how his migration to Lion had gone he noted that after decades…
Very interesting observation!

Be proud of that fact...
Me: Is there like a 'Semantic web for dummies" book
Ajay: have you ever read one of those for dummies books?
Me: No
Ajay: I'd be proud of that fact
The internet is a fad
A stupid conversation between a friend an I:
Stephen: U may wanna invent a program that spell checks.
me: ha
Stephen: I don't know if they have that yet.
me: nope
Stephen: Check the "internets"
me: the tubes?
Stephen: No, no. They call it "the world wide web." It's a passing fad. But it's the hot thing now
me: i heard of that.. .it'll never last
in fact, i'm going to bet my career on it's failure
Stephen: Agreed. I mean really. Who would sit in front of some screen mindlessly & watch short streaming clips of cats all day?

To Stealth or Not to stealth
What’s Stealth Startup? To some it sounds super powerful, something that will come out of nowhere and change your world forever like an attack from a stealth fighter jet, but hopefully in a good way! Something that will blindside the competition and obliterate them on day 1. To others, it’s the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard; it’s a waste of money as you’re building a product in a silo...

Fail fast, but don't fail
You hear the term all the time, “fail fast”. I hear people talking about it all the time in the context of trying something, if it fails, move onto the next thing. I also hear people preaching failing fast, but then sit on a traction-less project for a super long time thinking that the next bit of work will give them the push they need. What people rarely talk about is what to...

Stop competing, Start Innovating
Consider one of the following situations:
You’re in fierce competition with another company and they’ve just totally one-upped you by coming out with a killer feature, or solving an industry problem that you both have been clamoring to solve
You’re a small fish in a HUGE pond, just starting out or trying to grow, your competitor is a whale in your industry and you barely have...

Why hiring a GREAT developer is crucial
I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great developers and the misfortune of working with some crappy ones. I’ve seen a developer who makes over $100k cost a company over $250k of rework and customer support because his work sucked so bad! I’ve seen a developer who gets paid peanuts (he was straight out of college) save a company over $500k because he was so good! The...

Stop building websites
The mobile revolution is here, it’s growing, and I think we’ve yet to scratch the surface of what will happen and what innovation we’ll see in the next 3-5 years. I’ve already given you my predictions for the mobile OS market in 2015. So why are companies still so focused on designing websites and web apps? Because today, and for a long time to come, the eye balls are on...

Blackberry should give up and profit more
The mobile device and OS market is on fire and, I for one, am super giddy about it! Between the iPhone and Android, there’s some exciting stuff going on. In the media, as it relates to the mobile market, iPhone and Android are all the media is talking about. It used to be that Windows Mobile, Blackberry, the occasional Palm device were the “smartphones” people used to hear...

Mobile OS market share (Circa 2015)
Web 3.0 is upon us and it’s not semantic web like some have thought it would be, it’s all about mobile. The numbers are in for 2015 mobile OS market share with Apple still leading with 45% of the market share and Google Android biting at Apple’s heels with a solid 37% while Symbian has fallen to an embarrassing 8%.
Well clearly, folks, it’s not 2015, and the RIM OS is...
