“We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it.” -Malcolm Gladwell in Blink Funny thing is that we live in a world where many people assume the quality/value of most things (not just decisions) is directly correlated to [...] Came across this scary article last week… “…Israeli military leaders have begun early planning for a new, robotic defense system, armed with enough artificial intelligence that it ‘could take over completely’ from flesh-and-blood operators. ‘It will be designed for… autonomous operations,’…” Israel Eyes Thinking Machines to Fight ‘Doomsday’ Missile Strikes via BoingBoing In case you don’t know what [...] Over the Christmas holidays my sister told me that one of her friends had bought a Nintendo Wii for $320 and that he managed to sell it on Ebay for $450. As Christmas got closer, the price of Wiis on Ebay had shot up closer to $700 for the basic package. About 2 weeks [...] Once again, I seem to have neglected my blog. I remember reading somewhere that the age of a blog is directly correlated to the frequency of posts in many cases.

However, while finishing up some research for my VoIP Project I came across this article: Skype Introduces Free Calls to Traditional Landlines and Mobile Phones in the US and Canada Needless to say, I’m downloading Skype as I’m [...] Picture This… You’re working for a multinational corporation based in Montreal and you’re on a business trip in San Francisco for a week. While you’re relaxing in a café sipping your latte (don’t ask) you suddenly realize you’ve forgotten a critical document on your work PC and you have to call your technical support to get [...] The first generation of commercially available cellular phone technology began as basic analog (AMPS) service. Eventually the transmissions became digital (D-AMPS / GSM) and today, 3G refers to third generation of new technologies such as WCDMA, UMA and CDMA2000. [1] Although 3G has been rolled out in a few countries already, the most commonly used [...] With wireless hotspots spreading like wildfire and the explosion of VoIP, VoWifi was the next obvious step to facilitate communications.
