I described how Microsoft and Google gain a competitive advantage by licensing their tablet and smartphone operating systems to original device manufacturers (ODMs) such as Samsung, LG, HTC, Lenovo, Dell, HP and Asus. Indeed, much of Android's...

Normally, when the topic of datacenters is raised, people start to fall asleep. In the IT world, it has never been viewed as an exciting topic or an exciting market. In fact, this may be the first time that the words 'datacenter' and 'exciting' have been used in the same sentence. Many of us associate datacenters with soulless grey rooms located in...

To many, the demise of Kodak was entirely predictable. But, the reasons for its demise are not yet widely understood. There remains a mainstream view that Kodak's fall was due to its failure to embrace digital technology. This is not true. In fact, Kodak engineer, Steve Sasson, invented the digital camera in 1975.

We are likely to see much more innovation in the Android and possibly Microsoft ecosystem, than we will see in Apple's closed environment. Apple is considered by many, to be the dominant force in IT.

I recently attended Cisco’s annual Collaboration Summit for analysts, consultants and partners. A lot of the content was heavy on marketing-speak, and light on new information.

My story is one of overconfidence and surprise. I thought I pretty much knew everything I needed to know about InDesign (the software I primarily use for my job).
