Having just read TechCrunchs insane post about the great German company Smartbook (and this post) we totally disagree with TechCrunch and respect the right of the company "Smartbook" to use the words they have trademarked exclusively (esp.: "Smartbook").

So please: Don't post the word "Smartbook" on your blog, don't tweet the word "Smartbook" (nor #smartbook) and don't use the word "Smartbook" on any social site or your comments (unless you praise this great company named "Smartbook").

We're proud of being German, the land of such smart companies.

Thanks,

Updated: Typo fixed (Thanks Vincent!)
Again updated: Yet another typo fixed (thanks Dinesh!)

Sorry (esp. to @roshnimo: you're right they're getting old) but I had to.

 

 

 

 

After I had read my RSS feeds I thought that there is an even better way to simply explain "Project Risk".

Satire is forbidden, nazism and antisemitism welcomed (see TechCrunch from Nov 6). Apples policy is quite a mysterium.

Now the developers are more and more pissed (see GigiOm).

 

See Ron Tolido about "Business Prevention"

(Sorry, not too funny today)

See Joe McKendrick about the inability of the IT to measure productivity.
