Bullies-R-Us
The Armed Forces always believed that subordination of the troops to the command was essential. If there were strictly enforced rules of behaviour it was maintained, then the soldier next to you would be able to rely on you performing according to drill during the times when the battle made everything else unpredictable. At what stage does a strong command based culture change into a bully culture? Or does it change. Is the ‘ you will... (posted by Anja 4 years 109 days ago.)

In Steve we trust - maybe
During my search through cyberspace to find the best live reports on Steve Job’s Keynote speech at Macworld yesterday, I came across an ad that had the caption ‘In Steve we Trust’. Very funny. See it on Popular Mechanics’ website. It’s entertaining writing about Apple and possibly even, dare one, mentioning something negative about the company. The many folk who explicitly trust in Steve tend to get quite irate and often... (posted by Anja 4 years 133 days ago.)

With Facebook You Get Without Asking
When a snot-nosed and wet behind the ears 23 year old tells the world at a media junket how the advertising industry needs to listen to him, you wonder what authority he has to do that. His grand message is that ‘the next hundred years will be different for advertising, and it starts today’. How did he get away with that, without being booed out of the venue one wonders? I suppose, if you are Mr Facebook, Mark... (posted by Anja 4 years 152 days ago.)

Facebook - a Secret Harvest
I was not going to bother with another article on Facebook, or any other social networking site. But then this video flitted across my Mac and it just forced me to take up the pen again, or pull up the keyboard and touchpad. There are two things I want to point out. And for the rest, I anticipate that the intelligent reader will join the dots, make the con (posted by Anja 4 years 179 days ago.)

MacGyver and the theory that Limitations breed Creativity
The inspiration of the Flash on the Beach conference is still coursing through my veins. Re-reading that sentence, it is apparent it’s touched me. And you over there, keep those comments to yourself! Talking about inspiration, the phrase with respect to creativity that popped up several times, and made me consider this could be the ‘design’ Zeitgeist of the moment, was Limitations breed...

The Rise and Rise of Mobile Phone Connectivity
According to Jan Chipchase, principle researcher for Nokia, there will be 3 billion people connected on mobile phones by the end of 2007. That is a fair chunk out of the approximately 6.3 billion people inhabiting earth. He also anticipates that within another two years, a further billion people will have connected. Wow. That puts a new spin on the number of Facebook members, said to have been 42 million in... (posted by Anja 4 years 207 days ago.)
