According to Ina Fried 2010, “After more than a month of living with Windows Phone 7, I have to say, Microsoft’s new phone operating system is starting to grow on me. Although I liked the general look of the operating system, I suspected its simplicity was only skin deep and that over time I would uncover both annoying glitches and places where the phone was all too much like a little computer.” Continued > http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-20015093-56.html?tag=topStories2 #microsoft #windowsphone7 #cnet #consulting #software #mobile #technology

According to Bernard Golden of CIO 2010, “CIO — I often hear a debate about exactly who is using cloud computing — especially the IaaS variant. Many times I hear people aver that cloud computing is mostly being used by SMB companies. Others assert that cloud computing will really pick up when really large companies make the move. I dissent from both of those perspectives. I believe over the next couple of years it will be midsize companies that really leverage IaaS cloud computing.” http://www.cio.com/article/606222/Cloud_Computing_A_Perfect_Fit_for_Midsized_Companies @cio #bernardgolden #cloud #cloudcomputing #business #business computing #smb #iaas #consulting @callistecomm

According to Stephan Lawson of IDG News Service 2010, “Dell believes an acquisition of high-end storage vendor 3Par would help it gain a foothold in large enterprises moving toward cloud computing, but it doesn’t think Hewlett-Packard would necessarily steal away customers if it buys 3Par instead” Continued > http://www.nytimes.com/external/idg/2010/08/27/27idg-dell-sees-3par-as-doorway-to-cloud-projects-30178.html?ref=technology #idgnewsservice #idg #cloud #cloudcomputing #hp #dell #3par #stephanlawson #consulting @callistecomm

According to Malik Om of GigaOm 2010, “t’s happy days in startup land, especially for those just getting started. Angel investors line up at industry gatherings to take flyers from young companies and their equally young founders. However, in stark contrast to the ebullience of early-stage ecosystem is the dreary reality facing some of the large technology companies” http://www.nytimes.com/external/gigaom/2010/08/27/27gigaom-intel-warns-wireless-is-weak–is-something-wrong-64462.html?ref=technology @nytimes @intel #malikom #angelinvestors #earlystage #startup #consulting #technology @callistecomm

According to Nick Bilton 2010, “It’s tough to believe that in 1997, when Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, stood on stage to unveil a new ad campaign, that Apple’s stock hovered around the $4 mark (adjusted for stock splits). A decade and a half later Apple has surpassed Microsoft’s market cap by almost $20 billion, and its stock trades at $241.” Continued > http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/27/steve-jobs-circa-1997-reintroducing-apple/?ref=technology #apple #stevejobs #nytimes #nickbilton #consulting @callistecomm

Motorola Droid 2 (Image by Motorola)

According to Ramona Edison 2010, “Motorola Nails Smart Sequel With Droid 2 – If anything, the makeover from Droid to Droid 2 is more of a brow wax than a face lift, which judging by the success of the original version, and the ghastly results of many cosmetic surgery fiascoes, is probably a good thing.” Continued here > http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_droid2 #motorola #wired #droid #mobile #smartphone #consulting @callistecomm

“I really like this article says @jerrycallistejr”: According to Tereza Nemessanyi 2010, “After decades investing in “white male nerds who’ve dropped out of Harvard or Stanford,” venture capitalist John Doerr broke a pattern in July: he invested in a woman.
