Systems are much more like a life form: they are entropic, they degrade over time. In the case of databases, they pick up errors, and then data error compounds data error. For instance the DVLA in Swansea admitted in 2006 that a third of entries contained at least one error, and that the proportion was getting worse.02:34 PM | 0 Comments

Something That Has Been Bothering Me
Maybe I'm missing something but I wonder why haven't we heard a large outcry from Rogers business customers since the introduction of the new BlackBerry Plans. BIS cusomers have gotten a MUCH better deal for their BlackBerry data than they use to (although not as good as iPhone customers--screw you very much Rogers), however, BES (Business) users are still forced to pick one of the old data plans which provide 25mb for $60.Is it that most big business customers get some non-standard rate that's already pretty good? Do they just buy their data in bulk and pool it together across users (probably save a lot of money this way)? I'm not sure but if not they should be demanding Rogers justify why Businesses are being discriminated against (more so than consumer BB users who get screwed relative to iPhone users). 02:41 PM | 4 Comments

They tell us it's the iWay or the highway. We think that's a sad message. Software out there is made to be compatible with your whole life.
— Microsoft to Respond to Apple's 'Get a Mac' Ads - Mac Rumors --I'm rarely one to quote someone from *shudder* Microsoft, however, in this case I agree in many ways. The iPhone's restrictive use of the app store is a great example of something to be avoided. Gatekeepers for safety=good. Gatekeepers to define functionality=bad.
