Why Wi-Fi as we know it is in trouble
Today, 8/02/11, is the perfect time to contemplate the future of 802.11 networks

With 1 trillion-plus devices coming online soon, it’s imperative that the 802.11ac standard gets ratified, and devices are launched as soon as possible. 802.11n was slowed by vendor in-fighting. It’s critical to avoid such foot-dragging this time, since we are entering an era where Internet-connected devices will be responsible for everything from flood control in dams to airport runway safety.

An argument AGAINST cloud?

Even if you have connectivity, all the rich content will crowd you out.

Interesting.

And, the prediction is that it will become an internet of things.

So, the next time someone talks about some large group of collective people as “we” or take credit for events they never had anything to do with, be like Doug Stanhope and tell them, maybe “we” should just shut the f*#k up.

So there ain’t no “we”!

Like the old Lone Ranger joke, “what u mean we kimosabe”!

JOBSEARCH: LinkedIn “rot”

Published on by reinkefj1 Comment

What do you do when folks drift away? Their LinkedIn account is attached to a bouncing email. None of the mutual contacts know what happened. Strange? And, it’s happened more than once but less than a dozen. Social Networking version of PTSD?

Add to the “rules”: Don’t accept a LinkedIn connection when someone is not using their own domain email account. Not an employer. Not yahoo, hotmail, or gmail.

Argh!
