The truth about unemployment - part1
The problem with the economy today is not employment as a general and separated issue from other factors. One of the main factors in unemployment is education and the skills needed by employers today. Looking at the recent stats from the bureau of labor statistics we find that the unemployment rate everyone talks about, the 8-9% is actually an average useless number. The prevailing unemployment...

Three things the SOPA proposed bill is showing us
1. Our current representatives fundamentally don’t understand or care about technology and the Internet, hence the need for a new generation of tech savvy legislators. 2. Rather than providing innovative solutions and a better experiences for consuming content, the corporations lobbying for this legislation are moving us backwards. I guess they have not learned from lesson of iTunes....

My wish for the new year
My wish for 2012 is that we (the American people) start promoting and electing representatives to congress who have different professional and educational backgrounds other than the current Lawyers and MBAs majority composition. We need specifically more engineers, scientists, and tech related backgrounds. The current and future challenges of our global and digital world require representatives...

Save the Cheerleader, Save the Economy
If you are a sci-fi geek and you remember the first season of the show Heroes, you know that the entire story evolved around saving the cheerleader to save the future of the world — “save the cheerleader, save the world.” I believe saving the housing market today can save the economy tomorrow. The U.S. housing market, specifically the sub-prime mortgage market and the mess that was created...

It seems that extremism is the enemy, not a...
Upon the sad news of the tragic attacks in Oslo, as evident in the online comments left by the public on the NY times website, many jumped to the conclusion that this was caused by Muslim extremists. Yet, Anders Behring and others arrested in this tragedy so far are all white and European. As everyone awaits more information about why this happened and why these people did this, I’m...

Encourage starters..
Organization and leaders that don’t encourage and embrace a culture of initiators, and project starters but look for blame when something goes wrong will not be leaders in a market place where innovation is key. Failing is just a normal part of succeeding.  - Adapted from the words of Seth Godin’s book ‘Poke the Box’

Take a look at this recent advertisement found in Wendy’s locations around the country and tell me if you see anything wrong with it.. A. IT HAS NO CALL TO ACTION Mobile Marketing and Direct Response 101.. where is the call to action?

Will 2011 be the year of the fallen dictators? Will it be the year the Arab youth find their way to democracy? The hope is that this new Arab Internet generation sees the world in a positive, modern, and secular way. The hope is they demand to be part of the democratic world community. So far that is what they have been standing for. The fear of islamic states or radical islamic parties taking...

A recent survey by Pew Internet & American Life Project shows that more than half of the mobile Internet users access the Internet daily from their mobile devices — over 35 million a day. Another article by eMarketer about the recent Keynote Systems poll for Adobe shows that for certain categories like product reviews, blogs, and news, users...

Are tablets dead already?
I will be the first to declare that tablets are dead. Well, at least for me as a productivity device. It has been few months since I got the iPad and I’m bored and done with it already. I don’t think I will use a tablet again. Maybe in trade shows and conferences to show some product demos, but that’s it. Why? 5 things: Keyboard, Mouse, Editing Documents, MacBook Air, and...
