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.

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...

NYC Subways: To be or not to be (on the local...
The NYC subway is crowded, dirty, old, rodent infested, the list goes on. But it is, undoubtedly, the best and most efficient way to get around New York City. Every weekday, over 5 million people take to the underground to avoid ever rising cab fare, weather, tourists and traffic. Patrons include corporate CEO’s, the homeless, tourists, hipsters, students, everyone!!!! Even Bloomberg...

Android's toughest task: convert iphone users
I’m EXTREMELY excited to see what happens in the next 6-18 months with the smartphone market! The new Droid commercial is taking a pretty huge shot at the iPhone, but as a die hard iPhone user, I think android’s toughest penetration will be existing iPhone users. Aside from the phone, iPhone users make a huge investment by buying apps (i’m including free ones here as well)....
