Morning Tech Thougths

In my latest post just this morning I was about to agree on what Nicholas Donofrio said about innovation however, things change fast as soon as I check the news in yahoo and click the software category.

Why?

Last thursday, Steve Ballmer palns to spend a freaking $500 million business service to persuade enterprises to use its software rather than hire International Business Machines like IBM.

Nicholas Donofrio is from IBM by the way.

So what's up with Microsoft hottest software? Ballmer said the new software allows companies to let their employees perform tasks that they may now be paying IBM's huge services operation to handle.

Again and again Microsoft is playing world domination and even crushing competitors till death.

Just imagine if Microsoft will be successful and their product innovation contains services, process, business models or cultural innovation what is left in IBM?

Take note Nicholas Donofrio said "innovation today is more about services, process, business models or cultural innovation than just product innovation."

I smell blood.

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i.

I was looking for a nice place to chill last Monday to unwind my thoughts and enjoy with my family. I heard about the latest Internet Cafe just open 3 months ago and I decided to check it out. I have seen a lot of Internet Cafe but nothing comes close to this shop. Everything was simply high end from its ambiance, food and computers. It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

John Gokongwei Speech before Ateneo 2004 Graduates

I wish I were one of you today, instead of a 77-year-old man, giving a speech you will probably forget when you wake up from your hangover tomorrow. You may be surprised I feel this way. Many of you are feeling fearful and apprehensive about your future. You are thinking that, perhaps, your Ateneo diploma will not mean a whole lot in the future in a country with too many problems. And you are probably right. You are thinking that our country is slipping-no, sliding. Again, you may be right. Twenty years ago, we were at par with countries like Thailand,Malaysia, and Singapore. Today, we are left way behind. You know the facts. Twenty years ago, the per capita income of the Filipino was 1,000 US dollars. Today, it's 1,100 dollars. That's a growth of only ten percent in twenty years.
