Wave goodbye to Google…..Wave

I have used Google Wave.

  • I played with it for a few days.
  • I tested it with friends.
  • I couldn’t find a purpose for it.
  • I have not logged in to it in well over a month.
  • I do not miss it.

I am not sure what problem Google was trying to solve with Wave. Perhaps they invented a problem, which no one really has and then developed a solution for that invented problem. Either way I am declaring Google Wave useless for the majority of Internet users.

Email is still communication king and will most likely remain that way, until we all have 2 way video communicators built in to our watches and phones.

Why most small business owners hate their IT companies. A follow up post.

I think the title says it all. As an IT Consultant, I have rarely gone in to an office and been greeted with a smile or any sort of excitement to my presence.

I certainly have never heard anyone say how much they love their current, or past IT company, and that they were sorry to see them go.

But why is this? Are we not helpful? Do we not fix your problems? Do we not come up with brilliant solutions to the most daunting of tasks?

Based on being hired on as the “Replacement IT Guy” time and again, at many local small businesses, I can safely answer no on all accounts pretty regularly.

The stigma that IT professionals carry in most workplaces is a pretty terrible one.

Reader Question: Macintosh to Xbox 360 Dashboard Video Playback Issues?

ilmpcmedia001From a facebook.com message:

Dear David,

I am trying to find the best/easiest solution to my issue.

I currently stream my media (mostly movies) from my PowerBook to my TV (a Vizio, of course) via an XBox360, a wireless networking adapter for the 360, and Yazsoft’s “Playback” as the software on my computer (http://yazsoft.com/products/playback/information/). It works just fine, but I keep most of my movies on an external hard drive. I’m not sure if it’s the wireless connection, the software, my computer, etc., but when I plug in the hard drive to my computer and try to stream from it, the movies do not stream well enough to watch. I was thinking about getting Apple’s 1 or 2 TB Time Capsule and plugging it directly into the XBox. Is this a viable solution? Regardless, what do you recommend as my best option here (keeping in mind I would like to try and not open up any walls if possible). Thanks in advance.
