I got to see the Saturn V rocket at the Johnson Space Center on Saturday. It is the most incredible piece technology i have ever seen. Luckily I was standing next to a guy whose father worked on the apollo space program; while the astronaut

My opinion is there has been a failure of IT to realize that mobile is completely different from everything else and we continue to leverage desktop technology in the mobile world. Apps work best because they do not carry baggage of the des

This may all be true but Microsoft has something that neither Google or Apple has... that is skype. Once skype is integrated fully into Windows Phone; it will be the best communication device off all of them. Skype is the communication tool
