Some of you may have heard that Guitar Hero is returning, and it is a source of excitement to be sure. However, the changes to the system have met some critique; especially the change of the controller design and gameplay. Arguments ensue as to whether it is pushing the change to simply force more revenue, or to push away from its fan base. Regardless, this may be a drawn breath for a genre that was very short lived in the scape of games and merchandise; rhythm. Article

Despite critique, poor reviews, and an obvious oversight in the landscape of wearable technology, the Apple Watch has skyrocketing sales. Apple missed the bandwagon, and then drove in the wrong direction, and it is still showing great success in its Apple Watch. Selling nearly a million units since launch, it has made a significant dent in the Wearable space. This demonstrating that to sell an item, it either has to be new, creative and useful, or you have to have the backing of a massive fan base; ultimately it is that fan base that will push the greatest sales.

I agree, it is interesting to see that despite Apple’s setbacks, their “die-hard” fan base has generated immediate sales success for the Apple Watch. I also wrote a post on the surprising level of sales; especially considering how the Apple Watch will not replace mobile devices for many popular uses. It will be interesting to see if Apple can sustain success with this product.

I do not believe that that embracing social media in business will succeed in the long run, mainly due to the falling out of social media among this current generation and the one after it. However, if the social aspects of the workplace changed, say took on tones and activities that are “worth” doing, it might be a better sell than what is…[Read more]

The “cop out” answer would more than likely be due to the nature of elders. Though this may have more to do with the image that the older generations have of the millennials. Which seems to consist of challenging the status quo, jumping above heads and changing how the layout of business works. They also exude to middle management that they are…[Read more]

This should be common sense for any IT project, but in reality in a lot of cases it isn’t. Often times people overlook the details and just put something together so it works. This seems to happen especially with government projects. Look at the ObamaCare website. The massively expensive web development project was only spec’d out for ONLY 50,000 concurrent users. When 10x that tried to access the system, it crashed. It crashed because of someone overlooking what should be a common sense detail.
