iPhone 5 - Better Than R2D2 ? "Help me Oki Wan, You're my only Hope..."
Paper? What paper?
Jus sayin..
The Imaging of Greg - "MPS Summit: What a Difference Three Years Make"
"Yup, I was in Vegas at the “Recharger show.”
Well, technically, I attended the 2011 Managed Print Summit, which to me, seemed even more out of place, until I looked at the scheduled presenters: Ed Crowley, Robert Newry, Mike Stramaglio, Jim Lyons and Greg VanDeWalker – all MpS regulars, each in the ecosystem from early on if not the very beginning.
And there were more. Jim D’Emidio, Ed McLaughlin, Mark Mathews and Jim Phillips – old-skool hardware and infrastructure dudes who each see the impact of MpS.
And the new guys? How about Brendan Peters from Intel, Tim Grimes from Research in Motion or Gordon Jones from Green Hills Software? Googlitize them if you don’t know who they are. For now, let’s just say wireless, intelligent devices and security software. Yeah, at an MpSummit, the day before the large toner cartridge show. Who woulda thunk?..."

This is What HP Should Do with TouchPad/WebOS: "Execute Order 66"
Quickly put together a Mega-Cloud, now.
Call it the "MacGyver Cloud"; duct tape, paperclips, hope, and a prayer - whatever it takes, string it together.
In this cloud, give away 6-month subscriptions to the Wall Street Journal, HBR, LeopardONE, MPSInsightsPro, LuLu, TMZ, on and on.
Bundle all of it in. Free.
Hook up with Verizon and get on their network, into their stores. Hell, buy Verizon.
Get every remaining print publisher on the phone, in a Halo room, or to the West Coast and offer up an advanced conduit to 1 million customers, through MacGyver. Negotiate for a percentage and target Amazon/Borders; the Nook and the Kindle.
Spark up the TouchPad plants. Rationalize, re-calibrate and reorganize PSG around generations of TouchPad. Get this new team out there selling MacGyver and giving away TouchPads through every channel. EVERY CHANNEL. Sell it at 99 bucks - through Walmart.
Call the second model, "TheNext" and release a Leopard print version.

Buy a f*cking advertising agency, not another technological oddity.
I'm not done yet.
