  Re: Job 1 - Productivity

  on In A World Of Bottom Up Technology, Should IT Support Your iPhone?
  The issue is not can we connect it. Its simply we dont want to. Within my company we have several people that want (and sometimes demand) to be able to use their own smartphones. For one reason or another. We have set our network up in such a way that blackberrys are the only phone that can readily connect to our wifi. I have A G1 and its hard for me to connect to our wifi and surf the web. We provide those employees whose job require it blackberries. We do not tell people that they can not use their their personal phone we just dont allow them to connect to key elements other the e-mail, and we warn them that if there is a problem we WILL NOT support that phone so if you lose imporant data oh well

  Yes and no

  on Time For IT Guys To Unshackle Corporate Computers
  Having worked in IT for some time now I can kind of agree with what he says. I have worked for large componies approx 5000 users world wide) and small (approx 50 users)In the small companies its a lot easier to trust people not to install programs and allow them free reign over the internet. While the larger companies tend to lock everything down even for the IT's Where I am now has found a good middle ground. The users have almost free reign on where they want to go but we block many sites ie myspace, facebook, gambling, porn. We also allow them to download programs but they have to contact us first so we can review it. This is all for our desktop users. Now with the laptop users it diffrent. They have full control over the laptop. I dont agree with this and it just so happenes that the majority of the calls I get a day have to do with laptops. People do stupid things when you give them the power

  Screw Apple

  on iPhone Haters Are Stick-Shifters In An Automatic World
  I will say that I dont hste the I-phone but I do HATE HATE HATE Apple. As I have stated before Apple is way over priced and for what it looks pretty. I have a G1 (finally) and after doing a sid by side comperison with an i-phone I must say that the two are even. Loaded pages with roughly the same speed, tons of apps for both (both usefull and useless) In fact the only place that I saw that the i-phone out did every one else was looks. Its the same with the i-pods and with macs.

  on What's Next? Can Senators Ban Stupidity While Driving?
  I agree with this law. There should be a ban.
  2 reason;
  
  1) If there is no law in place for this offence then there is no penility. No fine, nothing. With this law people will have to own up and take responiblity for their own actions. Take the ticket, court date, points on the license.
  
  2) Revenue, States will make some serious money on this. That could help out a lot of things. Why shouldn't someone get money off of someones stupidity?

  on Tiburon Wants To Photograph Every Car Entering And Leaving... But Don't Worry About Your Privacy
  I will agree with you that this is a bit on the paranoid side, but think about it from a thief's point of view. The rich neighborhoods have a tendecy to leave there doors open/unlocked. Many people have mock alarms. They are naive. If I wanted to rob a house it sure as hell would not be in my neighborhood where I stand a greater chance of getting shot in the process of getting a PS3 or 360 and maybe a 36" plasma screen. I want to go to the place that I can steal jewels, gold, and not risk getting killed in the process

  Not an invasion of privacy.

  on Tiburon Wants To Photograph Every Car Entering And Leaving... But Don't Worry About Your Privacy
  Anyone at anytime can be videotaped and or recorded so long they are outdoors. When you are outside there is an expectation of privacy lost. Right now if I so desired I could go and video tape any indivial I so please so long as they are outside. So this town is perfectly within the legal rights to record any and everything that goes on within their city limits. This type of thing is already happening in philadelphia where I live. In the most crime ridden neighborhoods you will see boxes with flashing blue lights up about a block apart from each other. These are cameras that record 24/7 and yes they help deter crime in that specific part of the city. A criminal will think twice about coming into that town to commit a crime because chances are greater that he/she will be caught.
