The innovation train is ready to roll June 1, 2008
Posted by piro in Business, Random Inno.add a comment
Over the past few months a lot has happened in my life let alone the world.
Where do I start …
I have since graduated from university and now work full time, at the moment. My instincts are to stay put for now.
Behind the scenes the innovation train has been loading up, and now honking for the gates to be open … Within the next few months expect a lot of blogging about this. Remind me if I forget.
In the world, we’ve seen and are currently experiencing a credit crunch. I’ve noticed that my money has less bang for the buck.
Please welcome me back with this short rant.
Regards

Nintendo 6 : Sony 1 July 4, 2007
Posted by piro in Nintendo, PS3, Sony, Wii.add a comment
The beeb is reporting that the nintendo Wii is outselling the PS3 6:1. This is not so shocking, I was in Virgin megastores today and noticed that the only PS3 demo unit was turned off. That picture said it all, but to be fair the Nintendo wii demo unit was not beeing used although it was on.
No offence to fanboys out there but I think it’s game over to the PS3’s dominance. If you need more proof, read wired’s article. There are only 3 reasons to want a PS3 right now and 2 of those reasons only apply to fanboys. 1) Final fantasy 2) metal gear solid 4 3) Blue ray.

Sony and Yahoo down and out? June 19, 2007
Posted by piro in Business, PS3, Sony, yahoo.add a comment
2 very important companies loosing top people this week. First yahoo dumps it’s CEO and going to the basics. Then Sony’s father of the playstation is getting the boot (though a very covert).
In the case of Yahoo one can understand why, stocks are dipping and Google has overtaken and left them in the dust. Jerry Yang one of the co founders of Yahoo is back at the helm, Stocks are currently up. Ken Kutaragi for those who don’t know is the father of the playstation, some months back was demoted and finally today was sacked with style. Ken I believe actually lost the plot long time with the PS3, which caused Sony to loose of 60% of it’s income. I’m not going to spell out the issues with the PS3 but it’s a bold move by Mr. Stringer.

It’s about time I updated my blog.
Been away writing exams, finished that now waiting for my results which if I pass then I become an Electronics and Electrical Engineer.
A lot has happened in tech. Nigeria with the help of China just launched a satellite into space, don’t know the exact sat type but heard it’s a comms sat that would be controlled from the capital Abuja, a lot of potential for investors to capitalise on the stability of the Nigerian economy and govt.
The US senate on numerous occasions took hearings about the net neutrality issue.
Google has revamped it’s start page, plus tweaked the search engine.A notable feature is the ability to search within YouTube videos. Speaking of YouTube Scoble blogged about the importance of YouTube to google and how it is paying off, for $1.6 billion Google got a bargain. the next US presidential debate is going to be broadcast on YouTube.
Also Google is buying out it’s rivals in the online ads business.
Finally the new Apple iphone is scheduled for release on 29 June in the states. I wonder when and if it would reach UK shores.
One more thing I take up a position in the IT department at Credit Suisse.
SKY to Upgrade HD box and SKY+ April 4, 2007

I’ve just heard that SKY would soon be doubling the storage space on the SKY HD box from 80 hours to 160 hours.
I’d prefer they just drop the price of the HD box, common it’s been almost a year now. You know this is why we need competition.

Haven’t been able to log onto Gears of War online (versus), I think it’s down too along with the Taiwan internet connection.
Update #1: seems this down time is not limited to GoW, apart from voice and video chat all Xbox live games are inaccessable.
