To Upgrade… Or not to Upgrade?

When Adobe announces a new Creative Suite many designers and companies are faced with the question of upgrading. Should I upgrade when the software is first available? Do I risk losing productivity while myself or my employees adjust? Do I wait a year and risk the software becoming obsolete in just a few months? Honestly I don't have the answers to these questions. I have worked with people who upgrade every couple of years when Adobe releases a new product. I have also worked with people who up... read more!

The Best iClone?

The Voyager, The Glimmer, The Venus and now...The Dare. I'd really like to speak with an LG brand manager. Fully realizing market share is Generation Y, we Generation X'ers are still interested, AND we don't lean on our parents for cash - well, most of us anyway. I'm fine with a model number if anyone is listening. Aside from naming conventions and marketing tactics, The Dare is a decent phone. However, I would never buy one. Why? The typing interface is much too slow. Responding to a text messa... read more!

“I’m A PC.” “And I’m Confused.”

Who else is completely confused by Microsoft's new ad campaign? Every time I see one of their new TV commercials I am left saying "huh?". What do Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates have in common? Who thought it would be a good idea to have Bill Gates act? Why did it take Microsoft nearly 4 years to respond to Apple? I just don't get it. Who Wrote These? Was there drugs involved? Why? Can anyone answer my questions? ... read more!

IPhone - Google Maps, Two Home Address Fields?

I've recently purchased an iphone 3G - without question the most useful and inteliegently designed electronic device I have ever used. I did run into an interesting problem however. When "Google Mapping" an address and then saving that address to a previously saved contact, there seems to be a bug. Two "home" address fields are created. The problem, the "home"address field which has the newly saved address doesn't sync with Outlook. If I modify the blank "home"address field the value sync's with... read more!
