    Part 1 and part 2 of this ongoing series looked at visual clues that Google didn’t really believe in their mantra of “Do no evil.” In this installment I’m going to investigate some operational evilness on Google’s part. I’m a big, big, really big, fan of Google’s products and services. But what would you call…

    Now that we’ve all gotten over our infatuation with SaaS (back from Wikipedia yet? Ok, let’s move on) it’s time to talk about PaaS (off to Wikipedia again aren’t you?!). Platform as a Service is a great idea. Back in the good ‘ol daystm®© we used to share our time on the mainframe provided by…

    It’s officially time to say: “The HELL with BELL!” And the CRTC can now become just one more corrupt government agency that is completely out of touch with the industry it is set to oversee and protect. Bell Canada Inc. is not breaking any laws by slowing Internet speeds and will be allowed to continue…

    Over the last couple of months, my infatuation has been in trying to reduce my Windows workday of all the needless RSI inducing Microsoft navigation and user interface. There are few things that I hate more than having to yet for my stupid programs folder to load up and then have to search like a…
