Big Blue Eggs and Ham
Issue: November 2009
I do not like green eggs and ham. I will not eat them, Sam-I-am. But if you found out you had a predisposition for a particular disease and eating more green eggs and ham would help you prevent it, would you eat them in a boat? Would you eat them with a goat? And what if it weren’t Sam-I-am offering the emerald eats, but Sam-IBM? As in Sam Palmisano, CEO of IBM? Palmisano spoke at the annual Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit this October and introduced IBM’s new Personal DNA Sequenc... |

Map Quest
Issue: October 2009
Silicon Valley was born in a nondescript garage at 367 Addison Ave. in Palo Alto, Calif. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started their company there, on a quiet residential street, in 1939. It’s one of the many tech landmarks I’ve visited throughout the nation. While some really stood out, like Borland Software Corp.’s campus in Scotts Valley, many were ordinary buildings. It wasn’t the edifices or the geography that built the tech industry. It was people and ideas. Cleveland busin... |

Summer Blockbusters
Issue: August 2009
Windows Home Server is hot. Not in a Megan Fox Hollywood-is-your-CGI-oyster sort of way, but in a geeky, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen summer-blockbuster way. Besides, if you’re looking for a place to store your entire Megan Fox catalogue (so your friends don’t see yourHope & Faith box set sitting on a shelf), Windows Home Server is for you. Don’t let the “server” part scare you away —it’s not like you’re dealing with Decepticons here. If you have mo... |

Social Disappointment
Issue: July 2009
I hate to lose. Whether it’s money, time or a game (especially when you have the best player, best record and home-court advantage), losing sucks. I should know better by now. The growing litany of Cleveland sports disappointments should have prepared me. Maybe that’s why I recoil when some expert suggests I spend hours each day on social media. Seriously, if LeBron can’t bring us a championship, how is Twitter going to deliver more business? Well, for one, social media is growing at a... |

Case Files
Issue: June 2009
As you’re taking a Saturday morning stroll for a cup of coffee, your cell phone buzzes with a text message: “Stop at the Java Hut and use promo code, DAN, for a free muffin.†My first thought:Mmmm, muffin. But then I wondered just who is tracking my every move and knows where I am. How much privacy are you willing to give up for convenience? Would you enable GPS tracking on your mobile device if it sent coupons as you neared establishments? With traffic cameras and express toll lanes, we may not h... |
