IBM Business Transformation - IBM's Business Transformation. Business Week
writes about IBM's focus on business transformation services: "BM, with
its legions of PhDs and closets full of patents, is not built to duke
it out with the likes of Dell. Palmisano's strategy promises a neat
escape. Instead of battling in cutthroat markets, he takes advantage of
all the low-cost technology by packaging it, augmenting it with
sophisticated hardware and software, and selling it to customers in a
slew of what he calls business transformation services. That way IBM
rides atop the commodity wave -- and avoids drowning in it." [E M E R G I C . o r g]... MSNBC: "HERE COME THE VLOGS - MSNBC: "HERE COME THE VLOGS".

be in the VoIP business and fast . [VoIP Watch]... Blog, Vlog, Podcast, Mobcas - Blog, Vlog, Podcast, Mobcast. So many new words, so little time.
Blog (web log), Vlog (video web log), Podcasting (including audio in
your RSS (really simple syndication) feed for download into an Apple
iPod or other MP3 player) and Mobcasting (mobile podcasting) an Andy Carvin
acronym which posits the use of smart phones to create podcasts -- are
all relatively new words that represent one extremely big idea --
unfettered plebeian access to the fifth estate.
Until a few years ago, governments (secular or non) had almost
complete control of information. That made (and continues to make)
information a form of currency -- like the military and other stores of
economic value. These "new words" are much more powerful than the
technologies they represent, they speak a new language of information
and, to be sure, currency.
The value you will place on this information is in direct
proportion to the use you have for it. Most people won't care about the

Telesym Podcast: the Future of VoWLAN. - Telesym Podcast: the Future of VoWLAN.
If you're interested in where Voice over IP over WLAN is heading in the
enterprise, listen to this interview with Telesym: I met over in
Bellevue, Wash., today with Telesym, a firm that extends an
enterprise-based phone exchange (PBX) system into laptops, handhelds,
and "scanners": bar-code devices used in retail and logistics by store
and floor personnel. I spoke with Mike Houston, Telesym's director of
Marketing, Ken Myer, senior VP of sales and marketing, and Jennifer
Gehrt, a founding partner at Communiqué Public Relations about
Telesym's position in the market, but more largely about the future of
VoWLAN. (Ken had to leave for a meeting, so I spoke primarily with Mike
in this podcast). You'll hear at the outset of the recording after my
introduction a conversation we had using Telesym technology: I was on a
USB headset connected to a Telesym client running under Mac OS X; Mike

WASHINGTON - Recent months have been tough for competitive local
exchange carriers (CLECs), as their allies get gobbled up by
competitors and the government dismantles network-sharing regulations.
But CLECs say they will survive by adopting new business models and
focusing on customer relations. [InfoWorld: Top News]... Podcasting The Night Away. Forbes: - Podcasting The Night Away. Forbes:
"For now, Podcasting is no threat to radio as we know it. But pay
attention to it. It may not always be called Podcasting, and it may not
always be free in the way it is now, but as we've seen with MP3s, these
things sometimes have a funny way of taking on a life of their own." [Adam Curry's Weblog]...

As a kid, I would stare for hours at repetitious weather reports on TV.
Boring, you say? Not to me - I love weather. And since I've worked
here, I've wondered why Google doesn't do weather. It seemed like a
perfect 20% project
for me, so now I'm pleased to report that you can get
current conditions and a forecast
by typing [weather Chicago], or whatever your U.S. location is (zipcodes are also fair game). If you prefer, use
Google SMS
to send a text message to the U.S. five digit shortcode 46645 (GOOGL on
most mobile phones) followed by your meteorological query.
