SNW INTERVIEW -- Aug 23 -- Where would we be without the Woz? I had the occasion, and the honor, to interview Steve Wozniak recently, and get his thoughts on the rise of social networking. - Mark Brooks Why do people use social networks? Aren’t networking and social somewhat the antithesis of each other. A lot of geeks have this reputation of not being able to socialize with normal people. When I was younger I was always around electronics people and we would talk in the same language among

OpenSource alternative for almost Everything. Recession Friendly alternatives - (USA)
While looking over SourceForge’s downloads recently, I noticed that applications exist in the openSource world just about for every need. OpenSource tools are Not only are they handy (obviously), they are also very recession-friendly. I decided to round up some of the best ones in one place. Most of these come courtesy of our fearless Linux leader Jack Wallen with only a couple of exceptions. (All of the links are downloads except for OpenDNS.)

Eternal Beta Testing - (USA)
Eternal Beta Testing The first version of Windows that I tried (but didn't keep) was somewhere down in revision 2.x. It wasn't until version 3.1 that I found it to be of any use at all, ...but I've been upgrading ever since. What Bill Gates gave to the world wasn't an operating system, however. He gave the world permission to run the software game so that your entire market ends up eternally locked into beta testing. Windows 7 has been announced this week. It isn't that I find it so utter

Lorelei Kelly: Our President in Cairo: Muslims Listened. Did America? - (USA)
"When all other means of communication fail, try words." I walked by this anonymous quotation every day in grad school -- stuck on a cork bulletin board. Now it makes sense. For the past 8 years, our bad attitude made us really unpopular. Unappeasable, we became like the schoolyard bully -- you give him your lunch money and he still beat you up. President Obama is out to change this reputation. His Cairo speech needed to address two audiences at once... skeptical Muslims worldwide and Ameri

Though you may be the most enthusiastic person in the world when it comes to your business, many people will want to know about your own financial commitment before they

Sometime in the next few weeks, I expect to have drafts of the last two chapters of my organization theory manuscript, Fifteen and Sixteen, online. From there, it will simply be a matter of working through the backlog of reading to fill in the gaps in the earlier chapters, polishing them up, and handling the bureaucratic details of getting them into a format an on-demand publisher will accept.

by Jesse W. Holmes Maybe you’re wondering, what is eBay anyway? You might have some idea of what eBay is, but let me explain a bit more about it.

Or imagine a huge bulletin board that millions of people can see and put their ads on. Of course, eBay charges sellers to put an ad on their website, but the exposure to the millions of wor
