Round-Up CEO Jerry Yang, the sticking point came over the valuation of the internet giant. Benefit fraudsters beware. If you're trying to pull a swift one on the authorities you may find their "liar, liar, pants on fire" accusations hold water after a...

Comment Even though it is still months to the games, the IT team is in the process of freezing the software - getting to the point at which no more changes to the code will be allowed so that they aren't derailed by unexpected, last-minute problems.
[08 May 2008]
Comment Arriving at this point allows for effective planning and the true development of standards and best practice. But at least as a niche technology, businesses can take it seriously, says the Naked CIO. Is the debate about open source finally over?

Comment Independent specialists are worth considering, although some manufacturers such as HP and Xerox also offer multivendor support and a single point of contact and accountability for negotiation, procurement and management of multiple service contracts.
[22 Apr 2008]
Comment Organisations that cut IT budgets as a knee-jerk reaction to the tightening economy are missing the point. That last point is critical. As the economy wobbles, the bean-counters instinctively reach for the IT budget.

Comment Partly because it seems to be a shortcut to a proper criticism of Apple products but mostly because it ignores the obvious point that form and function needn't be mutually exclusive. On the 10th anniversary of his Damascene conversion from the PC...

Comment There are times in every project when you reach the point of no return. So knowing when to delay or cancel a project is just as important as giving it the green light, says the Naked CIO. Do large projects make or break a CIO?

Comment And suppose luggage designers had to travel a whole year non-stop with their own luggage, and ditto for the designers of electronic point of sale systems, mobile phones and security systems. Written at London's Heathrow airport after a confused...

Comment Thus it seems average open source developers are at a point in their life where they are driven towards achievement and the hope of recognition. To clarify this point, a brief digression is needed. The open source brotherhood prides itself on its...

Comment And it's here it gets interesting because it's the point at which online identity suddenly intersects with the real world. Recently I had a bed I wanted to get rid of - one that was, I felt, too good to spend the next 1,000 years rotting in landfill.
[01 Apr 2008]
Comment A quick visit to Urban Legends and other debunking sites such as Snopes.com and Truthorfiction.com reveal a wealth of riches and illustrates my point about validity and truth. The general irrelevance of these search returns offers me little...

Comment I had to concede that they might just have a point. Written in the bar of a hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia and despatched via a free wi-fi service in the lobby. This morning I was talking to an industry leader in the USA about recruiting young...
