• The App Revolution Wants You
  Blackberry has some 17,000. The latest-greatest Android device has 250,000. And the precocious iPhone has over 300,000! What’s up with Apps? You might be tempted to dismiss the app revolution as the province of futurists and dreamers, a Silicon Valley (or Silicon Alley) phenomenon that adds up to little more than time-wasting toys with about as much value as a Gameboy. But you’d be mistaken. The business potential of apps is extraordinary. As a number of Fortune 500 and Nasdaq companies have learned, custom apps can rapidly turn into productivity essentials.

• Why Doesn’t the New Software Work?
  No, we’re not talking those large hump-backed mammals common to desert regions of Africa and Asia. In the world of design, a “camel” is what you end up with when you design a “greyhound” by committee. A greyhound is designed to run fast and far; his sleek body is perfectly engineered for this purpose. Force a greyhound to multi-task and also carry food and water, and you’ll get a deformed greyhound with a hump. Suddenly, he can’t run nearly as fast. … Read More »
