Ethics and Industry Analysts

One of the biggest questions a person will deal with in his or her life, regardless of the career path, is ethics. We make trade-offs when we "borrow" a stapler from work, take a sick day to go fishing or play golf, and take credit for something that was done by someone else. In the wake of the Enron, WorldCom and even Martha Stewart scandals, maybe its time we took a look at our own ethics and, by way of example, I'll focus this week on industry and IT analysts...

Internet Explorer, Monoculture and Tunnel Vision

I've been watching as a number of security expert's call for the companies to replace Internet Explorer (IE) and the follow-up pieces that state, with the implication that the companies must be stupid, that they aren't following that advice. I think this reflects more on how far removed many of these experts are from IT management than it does anything else, but, given the coverage, I figured it was time to write a security primer.

Big Blue Beats Earnings Targets, Provides Stong Outlook

The Death and Rebirth of the Movie Industry

One of the things that has stuck with me after meeting with HP last month is that the movie industry is going through a lot of changes. It seems to me that few consumers have any concept of how much this industry is likely to change by the end of the decade. So this week, I thought it might be interesting to explore the technology changes that are coming -- from creation to delivery -- and revisit why it might take some time for us to see the full potential of these changes exhibited in the market...

Formula One Racing and High-Tech Companies

As a guest of AMD, I went to Indianapolis to watch the top Ferrari team once again whomp the other nine teams in what remains one of the most expensive sports in the world. This racing team has been winning for so long and is so dominant in this sport that I often wonder why anyone watches these races anymore. The outcome often seems preordained ...
