re: Can RIM make a comeback in 2012?

Ed — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:19:45 GMT

First, it's time to take this off the Email [under "Varbose Blog". It's been there for a month.

Second, even with a new touch smartphone coming out shortly - which still use the Blackberry OS 7 and not BB!0 - which has been delayed until the end of the year - and PlayBook 2, chancxes are thinks won't improve much for RIM. Only hope for PlayBook is that it doesn't require a Blackberry.

With the new head honcho saying that business will be as usual with him, you saw the stock drop that day. Why? Becaudse the market want a change.

re: Could Samsung acquire HP’s PC business?

Hmm.... HP nevcer did say they would sell off the PC side. Split it - maybe. Then since Samsung already has laptops [and tablets], there could be a regulatory issue. I also don't think HP wants to sell it's PCs off to it's printer competitor. [Like the Yankees selling/trading a marquee player to Boston - a no-no.]

To survive in the PC market you basically need to be a Microsoft slave and cave in to their will (otherwise... no special price for Windows, difficult certification,etc.)

And that just prevents you to explore and innovate in other markets as Samsung successfully did with their Android phones and tablets

Expanding their PC business would just bring in a lot of trouble for Samsung... and as you said not much value.

re: Microsoft WPC is coming to Toronto and why that's bad for Cisco

Roberta J. Fox, FOX GROUP — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 15:54:01 GMT

Paolo: Great comments on the WPC - Cisco points! I agree with you that Cisco will be worried. the world of IT, networking and telecom is converging, and this is another sign that supports this. It will be interesting to see on behalf of our enterprise customers of FOX GROUP's which telecom partners, versus IT versus network partners attend the conference? I also wonder how WPC will help telecom partners get educated about their products and develop the appropriate design and install skills to deliver the Microsoft telecom solutions?

Now if Microsoft could just increase their reliability on their telecom solutions to the level of TDM telecom solutions , they would be a real technical threat to traditional telecom vendors.

re: Apple is now the world's most recognizable brand

????? — Thu, 12 May 2011 17:26:33 GMT

More recognizable than Coca Cola?

I really find that hard to believe.

Sure, if I look at the Apple logo, well duh! it's an apple.

There are still many places on this earth where people haven't even layed eyes on a computer, ipod, etc., let alone used one, but I'm sure that they've sucked back a coke.

It's no surprise to me that Kaspersky is gaining ground faster than what some would call their competition. I really don't think anyone is more "Ahead of the Curve" than Kaspersky.

We are a Portal Partner for Kaspersky, and an HP Elite Partner. Our success is because of these two companies. Kaspersky, at least in our market, is selling :Like Hot Cakes" and we don't see this lightening up soon. Detection of viruses is running at almost 100%. No anti-virus program is 100%, but Kaspersky is the closest.

re: Disney World connection corrections

HI Mike,

Thanks for your comment. No I am not a tommy texter and yes I did notice that after every ride we walked into a gift shop, which was aggrevating to say the least.

Have you noticed that when you do find a water fountain it is either broken or just spits out drips of water.

Keep well

Paolo

Mike Morneau — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:51:51 GMT

Hello Paolo, I echo Craig Cudmore's comments -especially on #4. Now how about those attractions that land you in a gift shop when you exit the ride?

Now, I'd really like to hear your comments on the Ontario Parks recent announcement to provide WiFi access in their parks. I'm a tech guy, but geez, camping with computers? Are there no places left on earth where people can just relax without being constantly joined at the hip with their electronic devices? I find it very ironic with all of the 'demands' for wireless access service, yet have you tried to find a pubic drinking fountain lately? It would seem that priorities have shifted from a truly basic need such as drinking water, and public WiFi access.

Best Regards,

-Mike

P.S. And I hope that you're not one of those "Tommy Texters" that I have to tolerate in the movie theatres.

re: Cloud computing innovation from…Poland?

Paolo Del Nibletto — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:55:56 GMT

Thanks to all that commented on this blog. I did not intend to be hurtful or to poke fun at Poland. Granted, my examples could be seen as stereotypically, but I used them because if I were Polish I would be proud of a heritage that included Pope John Paul II, Lech Walesa and the unique culinary delight that is kielbasa.

Brad Trivers — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:17:01 GMT

Poland - also known for its mathematical prowess I believe.

I think you want to link to http://www.metafore.ca/ (not .com).

re: Cloud computing innovation from…Poland?

Brian — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:53:43 GMT

Poland is a very forward-thinking country when it comes to technology. They're the first country to employ fingerprint biometrics on ATMs, they published The Witcher which was one of the world's bestselling video games, and they won a WIPO gold medal for ecological technology patents.

You might want to reconsider throwing around terms like "best known for" if your examples are stereotypically vapid.
