iPhone, the Secret Weapon

Posted on November 18, 2008 ·

Those damn cell-phones… we’ve long known they tend to fry our brains, then we learned they can also fry our more private parts, down south. (My most scientific dissertation on the subject made it to TED, presented by Yossi Vardi.)

Now we find out some models, especially the iPhone are secret spy weapons: they take snapshot of your most private body parts and email the compromising photos all automatically, without manual intervention. (No, I’m not drunk, it’s all here.)

So beware, fellow male victims: don’t carry this thing in your front pocket, anywhere close to the family jewels.

Take your eyes off the stock ticker, it’s too painful… let’s play instead.

Click the pic to play – you can hover above and click various objects… but whatever you do, don’t click the red phone!

SAP TechEd: Windows is Out. But Windows are In.

Posted on October 14, 2008 ·

My fellow Enterprise Irregulars are at SAP’s TechEd in Berlin, Germany. David Terrar is apparently in Windows-prison, as he observed:

Here in the Bloggers Room at SAP TechEd 2008, the Windows users (of which I am one) are consigned to one end of the room. We have to take regular abuse from the Mac fanboys. As you can see, the score is Apple Mac 8 Windows based PCs 3. In the blog world we M$ types appear to be a dying breed.

I told him he’d probably get a very different count in the keynote theater, where the real corporate folks are, who don’t have a choice – unless they all work for Citrix.

But there’s something else strikingly obvious on this photo. Windows is out. But Windows are in – I mean the real ones, letting daylight in. This is something we’ll never get in the US. I almost forgot the luxury of having windows (not the MS-kind) is quite normal in Europe.

The World According to Americans

Posted on October 7, 2008 ·

A little laugh before Debate Night – rediscovered on Dennis Howlett’s re-launched Dinglebum.

P.S. Apologies for the obsolete map. It clearly should have been updated to indicate Afghanistan as our neighbors. Oh, and let’s not forget about Czechoslovakia.

Update (11/27/09): Wow, a year later this is still going around….

Cloudy Fusion

Posted on September 28, 2008 ·

The Enterprise Irregulars took over CloudAve… well, sort of, forcing us to release an article early. Eran Kampf had a post lined up for Monday morning about Larry Ellison’s Cloud Envy, when all of a sudden fellow Irregular Anshu Sharma had a humor attack and came out with a hilarious post. All he did was replace Cloud Computing with Fusion in Larry’s famous rant, and voila!:

"The interesting thing about Fusion is that we’ve redefined Fusion to include everything that we already do. I can’t think of anything that isn’t Fusion with all of these announcements. The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women’s fashion. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. What is it? It’s complete gibberish. It’s insane. When is this idiocy going to stop?"

"We’ll make Fusion announcements. I’m not going to fight this thing. But I don’t understand what we would do differently in the light of Fusion other than change the wording of some of our ads. That’s my view."

Wow. This variant of Ellison’s speech makes a lot of sense, referring to his own elusive Fusion applications. Even Vinnie Agrees.

I Wanted to Invest in Photobucket, Too

Posted on August 27, 2008 ·

After all, those greedy Partners who stole this deal from their Limited Partners made a coupla millions each.

What do you mean they didn’t steal it? Oh, their firm, Insight Venture Partners only does late-stage deals and Photobucket did not qualify? Hm.. small detail, who cares? It’s still guaranteed profit, I want in on such deals.

What? Not guaranteed? Are you crazy? Oh, you mean this is what Venture Capital is all about.. you take a risk and invest in a company that could actually be a dud? Oh, boy, now where do I make my safe millions?

And what’s all this fuss about?
