Apple’s philosophy has always been to be consumer-centric. It wants to make easy-to-use, broadly-accessible products. But on some level, it’s failing consumers when only 18% of the global smartphone population has an iPhone. (source) BMW makes the best cars in the world. Does not have the same market share as Ford or Toyota. Is BMW […]

I got a lot of questions about this: what happened last year, how do you see things. where do we go from here? There are a few things that happened in the last 12 months worth mentioning: Some bloggers realized I am not a fool who wishes death on them (as the song goes), but […]

You go at 20 conferences a year. You have 3-4 workshops a year. When do you have time to experiment and find new ideas to speak of at these events? Do you have new ideas and experiences to tell? Or do you just rewrite what the big boys have found out a year ago and […]

The year started really good. There are a few directions I have noticed going on: Companies moving away from the “like and share” model, as they find out likes do not translate into sales. The smart ones (Coca Cola, Milka) started experimenting with content created for social media. Companies still chasing the like and share […]

I think everybody and their dog knows you need to do something in social media. Have a facebook page, a twitter account, talk to clients and friends, and more. And it’s getting old. I want to move past “we need to do something” conversation and move into “we need better campaings so we can get […]

Of course, everybody denies it, saying they do not provide direct access to their servers. Of course. What good would do to the government if they had root on 10, 100, 100.000 […]

So, you got yourself a Google Glass or an Apple iWatch? Nice. Hey, watch out, you might scrach or hit your watch! Use the other hand! Don’t move your head too much, your Glass might fall down. And that’s the problem. Smartphones have bumpers and cases, and even a thin MyCover can protect your phone. […]

Before YouTube was bought by Google, people usually left them alone, allowing them to tons of stolen copyrighted videos. Soon after, it was raining with lawsuits. Now, things have calmed down, but there were a few dark years for YouTube’s lawyers. Same thing with Tumblr, which hosts lots of pr0n and lots of stolen content. […]

Now that the megapixel race is sort of passé, DSLR and smartphone makers have found new grounds to battle: low light. The one with the best picture in low light wins! Nikon launched D3200 with 24 useless megapixels. Samsung and Sony have 13 megapixel cameras on their smartphone. The 50 megapixel DSLR is near. All […]
