The Cool Old Geek

Somewhere During The iPhone Launch Night
Was the iPhone launch in UK and Germany a success or not?
Epicenter says "don't know"?
The stock exchange seems to says more no than yes:
"Apple fell more than 7 percent after analysts described the weekend debut of the iPhone in Europe as disappointing." (The News&Observer)
"Apple Inc. fell $11.61, or 7 percent, to $153.76, after analysts described the weekend European launch of the iPhone as disappointing." (baltimoresun.com)

Thank god it's so easy to be social and do good. See e.g the "Pringo Powering Social Network From Yokohama" on TechCrunch.
VP For Water And Gas
In Twilight of the CIO (seen through David Berlind) Nicholas Carr writes:
"
In this world, a company trumpeting the appointment of a new chief information officer will seem as anachronistic as a company today naming a new vice president for water and gas.
"
Social As A Service
Everything is 'aaS' (see Phil Wainewright). Why not combine it with the other big buzz?
It's The People
Michael Krigsman blogs about "Stopping failure in its tracks":
"
1. Understand the source of the problem.
2. Decide how to fix it.

"
Unfortunately sometimes (i.e. often) it's not so easy because "people make projects" (the motto of the IT company I work for).
How To Protect The iPhone Against The Evil
Apple tries to protecte the iPhone against the evil resellers (see TechCrunch or Engadget - seen through Techmeme).
