How Apple Innovates

03.16.2013

This youtube video of a news article from the 1980′s shows how Apple Computer implemented innovative management principles—thinking outside the box—to become the one main competitor to the IBM PC. These turn out to be some of the same principles that Steven Covey advocates on leadership and team-building: convey your vision clearly, lead by example, and empower team members to pour their passions into their work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LJRZ5CPuCY Now if we could just get the rest of the corporate world to follow suit…

Google Apps for Business — no more “free lunch”

12.6.2012

Small businesses can have a serious advantage by leveraging Gmail for their business. Not <my-biz@gmail.com> but a fully-branded <me@my-company.com> to match your website, it’s just that the email server handling your mail just happens to be GMail.

With the new iPhone 5, Apple also released its new iOS operating system. This lets existing iPhone users—like me—upgrade to iOS version 6 at any time. There are some new neat gizmos in there for you (such as the shoot-as-you-wipe panoramic photos) but there are at least two things that you’ll miss: Google Maps and YouTube. There are plenty of amazing alternative mapping apps! Google Maps are very convenient, but Google didn’t want to agree to Apple’s branding requirements, so Apple struck out on their own to provide their own maps… and the results from the first round turned out [...]

The FBI caught the miscreants last November but the bureau’s temporary solution to help folks who were infected is set to go offline this coming monday. If you’re still infected you may have trouble getting online this next week. For info on the virus search for “Rogue DNS” or “DNS Changer” — it works by tricking your computer into using the wrong domain-name servers, so that if you ask for Apple.com, or Google.com, instead of the real site you may be misdirected to a fake site that looks legitimate [...]
