With all this talk about “social media” and “be part of the conversation” I see some New Zealand companies still don’t “get it”. Instead of providing crappy services, or even still make their services better by listening to feedback provided by their (ex) customers they instead decide to go and threat with a defamation lawsuit anyone who dares point out their low quality services. Worse still, it’s a company dealing in the online world

Everybody knows Google is one of the net’s big kids, but how big is it exactly? Well, as Arbor Networks measures it, if Google were an ISP it would be the third largest in the world and the fastest growing — if you are measuring the amount of traffic passed from its network to another.

This will make the Wellington ACTA negotiations more exciting – the European Parliament has asked to have full access to ACTA documents, and wants this to be granted to the public too. Furthermore, the ACTA talks should be limited to counterfeiting, include developing and emerging countries (and not just the rich ones), plus, and this is important, they must not be used to limit access to cheap and safe medicines. That last part is often forgotten in the furore around ACTA, and it’s hugely important for people everywhere, including New Zealand

What we suspected for some time is real: TiVo sales in New Zealand are disappointing. The New Zealand Herald reports industry sources saying only 2,000 TiVo units were sold in New Zealand since launch , about five months ago. Hybrid TV, the local distributor, of course says this figure is not accurate but won’t disclose the real numbers

I’m looking at a survey by enterprise mobility services vendor iPass that fomed the basis of a column by Sam Diaz over at ZDnet in which iPass surveyed around 1,000 mobile workers who make up about a third of its customer base. The survey results, coupled with this week’s news on Palm , suggest that Apple will be the only mobile vender left standing in a few months. While that’s unlikely, it does point to the problem and the power of perceptions.

In a smartphone world that was increasingly defined by Apple and Apple clones, Microsoft needed to step out. It could have, as it initially did with Windows, create an Apple clone that was better than Google’s Android platform, but instead Microsoft went back to the drawing board and created something quite different. This was a nice suprise to a lot of folks , but different is vastly riskier. That’s exactly what Apple did when it created the iPhone, which stood in sharp contrast to the other phones then in the market

I built my PC a year ago and its still going strong, fast enough to run the latest games on full res with full graphic etc. However I never bothered to upgrade from the on board sound-card on the mobo (asus p5qk dx). Its never been an issue because I only use a 2.1 speaker setup, mostly because I’ve got nowhere to put rear speakers and I usually use headphones anyway.
