Eric Sink on the Business of Software
Some of the best software products are created by brilliant coders who know little about the business side of marketing and selling software. These great products often fail to realize their full potential because they failed to get in front of the right audience. Eric Sink is trying to solve that problem through education with his new book, Eric Sink on the Business of Software. Eric was part of the team that built and sold…

I Steal Music!!!
Oh boy. I just discovered TMBG has a MySpace page with more free MP3s. I downloaded the ones I could – then proceeded to their Web site to purchase their Venue Songs album in MP3, as well as the double-disc DVD/CD set. Guess I spent over $30 today after “stealing” some music that they put [...]
David Steele on Domain Names and Intellectual Property
Trademark infringement may not be the first thing on your mind when you’re registering a domain name. But there’s a good chance it should be. Issues surrounding Intellectual Property and trademarks as they relate to the online space are confusing to those of us not deeply entrenched in the particulars of legal matters. At the Domain Roundtable, one of the most dynamic speakers of the conference was Intellectual Property Attorney and Loyola Law Professor, David…

Import Between Outlook Express, Hotmail, and Outlook
When eBay still used Microsoft's Passport, I registered an account through my Hotmail address. Today, I switched the eBay email address from Hotmail to my Pirillo one. Now I had all this eBay email sitting in my Hotmail account – and I wanted to get it into Outlook with the least amount of fuss. Windows [...]
CSS Testing PowerToy
From our very own free FireFox Facts comes an essential powertoy for Web developers: “Ever wanted to edit your CSS files for your Web site while getting a live preview on both Firefox and Internet Explorer? CSSVista is a program that will let you do that all in one application. The only catch is that [...]
New Seagate Hard Drives Ruined My Week
Okay, so I was finally set to buy a new computer (still thinking Falcon Northwest)… then Seagate goes and announces… “the introduction of the world's first desktop hard drive to hit the 750GB capacity mark. The monster drive is part of the new Barracuda 7200.10 family built on perpendicular recording technology to meet the growing [...]
MySpace and the Law
From MySpace to your space comes another perspective. “DJ” weighs in on the matter. I still contend that MySpace has usability issues out the wazoo, but that didn't keep me from creating my MySpace profile. I'm an adult, however – but “DJ” is working with children in the MySpace arena: I couldn't agree more with [...]
Volkswagen Folks
What, with all the talk of insane gas prices lately, our resident Technobabbler has been looking into his options with Volkswagen TDIs: “I hate the smell of diesel fuel, I hate the clattering sound of diesel engines, I've never owned a Volkswagen, and oh yeah… I'm not really in the market for a new car. [...]
1080p vs. 1080i
I still can't see the difference. HDTV is HDTV to me. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to enjoy high definition programming over the past few months because I've been so busy. I'm disappointed that I can't get high-def content on demand through Comcast, too – as I forgot to leave our DVR turned on [...]
Canceling MSN Direct is a PITA
Turns out, my MSN Direct account is set to autorenew itself unless I cancel the account (which I hardly used, admittedly). Here's the irony: “If you would like to cancel or discuss your account, please contact MSN Customer Support at the number listed below for your subscription type – For all other services, such as [...]
High-Gain Antennae
I was in an office store yesterday, picking up supplies for our (duh) home office, when I spotted a new Linksys product. As I've been relatively happy with their home networking hardware (except for the A/G/B router that's flaky as dandruff), I decided to take a closer look. They're selling a high-gain antennas for your [...]
Canon PowerShot SD700
As revealed in last night's report, I like My Canon PowerShot SD700. This time, however, I've protected its screen with a WriteRight – even though it seems a speck of something snuck in beneath the skin. Even with that layer of protection, visibility and usability is normal. I'm sure they'll release an SD750 a few [...]
Ask Leo – Will you care if you lose your connectivity?
A social service organization I work with lost it’s connection to the internet. It was more critical to their operations than they realized. Listen to the show: MP3…
