The audience is more intelligent than the presenter
September 26th, 2007 · No Comments
I just present our sourcing wiki to my Senior Vice President and his M2 Managers of Orange Business Services over the phone. I wished that I could have done it in the same room and got to see their reactions. It’s difficult to judge how well a presentation is going over the phone, but it’s a [...]

Blognation has the exclusive. This is like a double kick for AT&T, not only is it the hacking of the iPhone which provides the ability to unlock the phone, but it also allows you to use SIP instead and miss out the traditional carriers. [via]

Fedex delivered my VeriSign security fob this morning so I registered it against my OpenID. I know have a second identification request when I log into my OpenID. So somebody may brute force my password but then they’ve got to guess the six digit number sequence correctly.
