Content management software vendors are pondering social networking features and are expected to collaborate or acquire so-called white label networks to make their enterprise apps more social.
That’s one of the takeaways from Jeremiah Owyang, an analyst at Forrester.
Owyang’s working theory is that the big enterprise content management software (CMS) vendors–EMC’s Documentum, Interwoven, Vignette, Stellent etc–are […]

This is a sidebar to The Steve Jobs Standard.
It was about the simplest shopping list one could imagine: an audio cable to connect my iPod to the Bose stereo in the family room.
My search on the online Apple Store yielded only the Apple Composite AV Cable. This allows you to connect an iPod to […]

Yahoo on Monday filed its shareholder pitch with the Securities and Exchange Commission as its proxy fight with activist investor Carl Icahn gathers steam. Much of the presentation was designed to “correct the record” on everything from the company’s compensation plan to how the Microsoft bid went down. But Yahoo does make a new case […]

Apple’s iPhone sports a wide array of homebrew puzzlers to amuse you for hours on end. Another game recently made its way into the Apple homebrew community as developer Chris Nordberg released version 1.1 of Kusari.
The game’s objective is simple enough - you basically want to clear the most counters on the board within the 100 seconds given per level. Each counter has an arrow on it, which indicates the direction in which it will move. Counters clear out in a domino pattern according to the direction stamped on them.
If you’re interested in seeing how the game plays, you can view the demo video below and see if it tickles your fancy.
Kusari 1.1 is available for download through the iPod Touched source. If you liked the game, make sure to drop by again here at QJ.NET for more homebrew puzzlers and more.

Every weekend I return home from traveling the country working at the 10,000 foot level of enterprise architecture for Fortune 500 customers, there is at least a fifty percent chance that I may be called upon to do some in the trenches desktop support work.
Such drudgery is occasionally required, especially if you are to maintain […]

There’s the discussion of whether the latest gauntness […]

AOL’s Platform A said Monday that it will offer Bebo and Facebook application developers “a guaranteed CPM” for U.S. traffic and says the ad rate is one of the highest in the industry.
However, there are a few caveats: CPM rates on social networking sites are notoriously low–think pennies–and even Google is having trouble monetizing social […]

Research in Motion misses its first quarter earnings target and cuts its outlook slightly. Palm has a hit with the Centro, but continues to disappoint. And Sony Ericsson sees a rough second quarter on “moderating demand of mid-to-high end mobile phones, in combination with a delay of new products shipped during the quarter.”
Welcome to the […]

Macsimumnews provides a tip on how to send and receive unlimited SMS messages from your iPhone (assuming you have an unlimited data plan). The steps are as follows:
1. Create a new email message.
2. In the To: box, type 10digitnumber@teleflip.com. (1235551234@teleflip.com)
3. Type a message and click send.
4. The message will be sent to the cell phone with the number in the To: box
5. All recieved text messages will be sent to you as an email.
They use the free service Teleflip.com to route your email messages to SMS and back. The service is free, but only works in U.S. and Canada.
This means you won’t be getting instant notifications of these SMS->email messages since you have to wait until your email updates. This will be far less of an issue once MobileMe is deployed as you will be able to get Push email sent to your iPhone

If you’re big on iPhone themes and changing them round often, MMiThemer is a great app to look at. It’s not brand new - I’ve been meaning to post about it for a little while now.
MMiThemer gives you access to a large number of iPhone themes from the ModMyiFone forums site’s repository. Most or all of these will not show up in Installer, so you need this app in order to see them.
ModMyiFone’s members have been a rich source of a large number of iPhone themes for quite a while now - and of many of the most creative and new sort of themes as well, things like Leaf and Vista Perfection, just to name two quick examples.
Before this app came along, I had a habit of checking the New Themes and Skins forum section at MMi quite regularly to see what new stuff was around - now it is much quicker to check things out via MMiThemer on the iPhone.
The app shows you Latest and Popular theme sections (Featured section does not work for me) and refreshes those each time you launch them. Once you install a theme via MMiThemer, you still need to use Summerboard to manage and select your theme.
MMiThemer is available now on Installer
