yes, my last two posts have had "ice cream" in the title. What can I say, it's hot out in LA.
Re:Things a Good Product Manager Should Think About on Wednesday September 07, 2011 @01:08AM (#2968433)
I wish someone at Cisco systems would religiously enforces some of these standards. They consistently approach products at a minimally viable level and they almost always become frankensteins because of it. Just one of many reasons they've been in some financial hot water in the past few years.

Did you all shun Apple when Foxconn employees started jumping to their deaths? I'm guessing not.

Is it possible that you'd be letting your bias get in the way of your business sense? What if those products could have significantly helped your business?

The author only reinforces the fact that booth babes work. His argument that he hates them because he falls for them would probably only get me to consider using booth babes in the future. Sure, the approach is kind of 'Don Draper' but considering the audience... it's probably a viable marketing approach.

There's probably an argument there about looking for original marketing approaches, as booth babes are an old and one "might" say overdone idea.

but meh, bring on the booth babes.

Gibson guitars slips up resulting in federal raid.

I've been reading quite a bit about this story, which is a few weeks old but it's fairly scary. There are a ton of articles out there but this highlights the issue at hand. Making a mental note to never import anything.This is a video in which the gibson rep gives some details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_-taqM5Sk0

Re:Why keeping up with RSS is poisonous to productivity, sanity on Sunday September 04, 2011 @06:38PM (#2960476)
If anything I would say that my reader saves me time and distraction. I don't have to search for the information I'm looking for, wasting needless time on links in search that wind up being non-relavent spam. I get to skim through articles that have a higher probability of being relevant to something that I need to know and I get to do this at my leisure.
