It’s Good To Be Passive

It’s good to be passive.
While this is not a true statement, in finding love, plotting your career path or driving the freeways of Los Angeles, it’s definitely true in technology.
Look at the most successful start-ups or technologies to roll out in the last 10 years – nearly every one of them has a passive element that was the game-changer for it.

Could iTunes Save Your Life?

Could iTunes save your life?
If you or someone you love is one of the many people who benefit from charities that combat fatal diseases, I believe it could.
Apple has revolutionized the way we buy music, movies, audiobooks , and of course apps. By storing your credit card info and offering items al a carte, spending money on iTunes is so easy you hardly give a second thought. Imagine if that same system could be used to give small donations to any number of charities — the impact could be tremendous.

My Life in the Cloud – Part 1
June 01, 2009 by Michael Brown
Recently, the laptop I've been using for the last four years tanked on me due to a severe Windows error (yes, I'm PC owner - shoot me). This is an event that would have ruined my life two years ago, but this time around I was quite lacksadaisical about it all. How is this possible? After doing some thinking about it, I realized that the big difference between now and two years ago is that now most of my digital life is "in the cloud."
For the uninitiated, "the cloud" is, put simply, the Internet. Nearly everything that matters to me (digitally speaking) is stored on the Internet somewhere and available from any computer at any time. This shift has occurred slowly and is so ingrained in how I do things now, that I wasn't even conscious of the peace of mind and organization that it has brought to my life.
