Investing in the IT That Makes a Competitive Difference

Thanks Alfonso, I found out the Harvard Business Review and the article quoted in the title.

Investing in the IT That Makes a Competitive Difference

I link that, hoping that someone in Italy will read it too.

Online Documents: This is NOT your Cloud

0 Comments

Some days ago I read this post from Web Worker Daily: Who owns your Online Documents?

They went pretty deep in the legalese found in the Terms of Service of the three main players in the Documents Cloud Business: Google Documents, Zoho, Acrobat.

What they found is definitely not encouraging.

Italian providers and iPhone 3G: screw yourself

0 Comments

It's crazy.

Telecom Italia Mobile just published the service plans (for voice, text, data) for the upcoming iPhone 3G.

The plans are insane expansive and without any unlimited data plan: even the totally-dumb iPhone Unlimited (last column) with a 200€ per month fee doesnt have unlimited data traffic trough UMTS.

UPDATE: Vodafone, screw yourself too.

Great video of Garr Reynolds, showing best practices for your presentations.

He's also the mind behind "Presentation Zen".

The presentation was performed during a "Authors @ Google" meeting: check out (and subscribe to the feed) their page on Youtube.
