Restart your computer, restart your attitude. It’s the perfect sync.

On How iPhone 3.0 Stacks Up Against Android:
I say we skip cupcake and go straight to beefcake. No way can let an iPhone outperform a G1!

Lawdy, I do love the internet. Stuff like this just makes my day!

Betcha that office has a no smoking policy. Or halogen lamps!

On The Netbook Models You Love (And Don't):
My Toshiba Libretto U100 is probably too small to be considered a netbook.
It’s excellent for short business trips, presentations and mostly, backcountry navigation with Garmin topo maps and a USB GPS puck antenna.

On The Realities and Responsibilities of "Crowdsourcing":
I bet something similar to this was on your Twitter, Gina.
I once knew an investor who only bought raw commercial land. He bought land nobody else would build on.
He’d then put a sign on the property that said something along the lines of, “All joint venture propositions considered.”
Crowds with no money but lots of ideas came calling.
None went home with money but a few left behind a pot of gold.

On The Realities and Responsibilities of "Crowdsourcing":
One of the Vegas outfits was looking for ways to cut expenses and increase income without cutting staff. Execs were out of ideas so they asked employees to brainstorm.
Some of the resulting ideas were remarkably simple and profitable. Outcome: for now, no new layoffs.
I wonder, is that crowdsourcing through coercion?

Gotta have some fun, too! Zig Ziglar calls it “psychological sunshine”.
My three tasks for tomorrow: Space Mountain, California Screamin’ and Hollywood Tower of Terror.

On The New Safari 4 Beta Is a Looker:
Beautiful looking thing but my XP Pro computer does not like it. “Safari Web Browser has encountered a problem and needs to close … ”
The X-to-close function resembles the G1 browser, eh?

On Smarterware System Update and New Feature:
Okay, time to put my vanity in check.
Was the link to my profile generated by IP address so only I saw my profile link?

On My Ideal Computer (and Current Setup):
I’ll take one of what Gina’s having, please.
My computer needs are modest — Firefox, Tbird for Google Apps IMAP, OpenOffice, EditPad Pro and a few other small applications.
It’s all about the workspace for me … but that’s another thread for another day.

On Why Now's a Great Time to Stop Being an Employee (If You Can*):
Love your outlook, Gina!
Ever read “The E-Myth” by Michael Gerber? Here’s an adaptation of the basic idea:
Skilled people aren’t necessarily good entrepreneurs. You either have to be both, become what you aren’t or have a trustworthy partner who is what you aren’t.

On Why I Switched to Android from the iPhone:
@ffolliet — Have you tried accessing Gmail, Calendar and Docs via the browser? Much better interface!
