The Natives are Restless-For Better User-Interface Control

8/26/2010 9:09:00 AM

We work with a lot of off-the-shelf software. SharePoint, CRM, AbleCommerce, SiteFinity, etc. The list goes on and on.

All of these tools have great functionality and tremendous value for the price.

But in all cases, what I see more and more in the software world is that great functionality ...

Simple Wins the Race

8/24/2010 9:08:50 AM

In the Software Development World, we are constantly bombarded with new and improved 'frameworks' that are supposed to help us write better code, faster and cheaper.

Every framework is better than the one before.

Every framework falls short.

The main problem is that the framework's designers rarely have the end-user ...

Every CEO I speak with is saying the same thing-it's strange out there. It's harder to get B2B work than ever before, and when you do get it, it's ...

The #1 Reason I bought the iPhone, the iPad, and the Mac

7/27/2010 10:38:11 AM

Inalign has been heavy into Microsoft technology for many years. There's not a Microsoft product that we haven't configured, customized, intefaced to or researched.

So people are still shocked that I have an iPhone. How could I turn my back on Windows, and Verizon?

We started using Microsoft technologies for ...

Inalign is a Google Favorite Place-Really?

6/12/2010 4:44:22 PM

On a previous post I mentioned the merits of Google Freebies. I just got an unexpected one in the mail the other day. Inalign is now a 'Google Favorite Place'. Which means we have this nice window sticker with a code on it, and if you install the right software ...

iPad Apps-Are we going backwards, just a little?

5/22/2010 6:40:00 AM

There's a lot of great apps for the iPad, obviously, but would we need so many great apps if Safari just worked completely? Ignoring the fact that Flash doesn't work on the iP-devices, rich text edit boxes don't seem to work either, as I've noticed with both Wordpress and Sitefinity. ...

Will the iPad kill the iPhone? Or the Kindle?

5/2/2010 10:21:00 AM

After a solid week of using the iPad every day, and almost every hour I’m awake, I finally went back to a device that I used the love-Amazon’s Kindle.

It’s hard to read books on the iPad, as there’s just too much eye strain. The Kindle feels more like a ...

The Best and Worst of the iPad

4/27/2010 9:19:00 AM

Of Course the iPad will Matter!

The biggest change I’ve seen between the iPhone rollout and the iPad rollout is the menion of ‘business-ready’. The iPhone was always meant to be a consumer product, although it found its way in to many businesses pretty quickly. I’ve noticed many IT guys with Windows Mobile and Androids, but ...
