Re: Hello There LinkedIn, It’s Been a While

Regarding LinkedIn's search deficiencies, this answer in LinkedIn Answers (which I found via Google, of course) confirms your suspicions.

http://www.linkedin.com/answer...

"If you want to find potential prospects who are in a specific demographic segment the premium account lets you specifiy your search so that you can find the right prospects (company size, seniority level etc.)."

Presumably other types of search offer this granularity when you pay for Premium.

I keep getting a "Failed to get the ADB version" error... Any Ideas?

Interesting, I can't recall that ever happening to me. I do confuse the click and OK buttons frequently though. It's not perfect, but it's practical and more useful than people give it credit for being. Looks aren't always everything.

One thing I absolutely hate about the Revue remote is the placement of the back button right under the trackpad button. I don't know how many times my thumb has wandered to the back button when I was trying to click the "mouse"

Re: Where’s the Halo Exactly?

Well yeah, my experience is definitely influencing the question. I know Macs are out there, but I'm just wondering where they are. This is something I'll be watching as I make the rounds of this year's conferences.

Good to meet you, and thanks for the reminder :)

It might be your anecdotal sampling that is influencing your conclusion. The numbers for macs came out well ahead of the pc market, however where they went (business or home) wasn't broken down.

Glad our paths crossed this week. You can't be too green these days, can you?

Re: Where’s the Halo Exactly?

Right, policy rules. One thing that hadn't occurred to me before is that it's much easier to bring an iPhone or iPad into work and use it then to bring a laptop.

The iPhone has its own network connection (iPad might too) so that definitely helps. Plus, the laptop has a corporate sibling, making it all the more obvious that you're bucking the rules.

Obviously corporate policy is a big factor. Still lots of support bods get confused when they see a Mac. If they keep saying, "We need training to support Mac", then Mac isn't going to get into their company.

I wonder how much is down to gaming? If you are a gamer, Windows is still king. Maybe these execs actually want Windows so they can play games all day. Can't see how else they can fill their time. :)

I think BYOD and the Apple halo are geographically influenced too, at least here in the US. After my previous years of observation and the very high number of iOS devices, I'm just a bit shocked that Mac uptake hasn't followed.

Re: Where’s the Halo Exactly?

Jake — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:10:34 -0000

That's the impression I get too, re. product development, but they clearly care about the sales side. Otherwise, why bring it up in the earnings call. Apple doesn't really want to bow to IT requirements, so the product side can focus on consumers.

Re: Where’s the Halo Exactly?

Gary Myers — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:59:42 -0000

I wonder how much the 'halo' is of interest to Apple, or specifically the MacBook part of the halo. Specifically, is the profit on a MacBook that important to them compared with the revenue from iPhones, iPads and iTunes etc. To my mind, they are firmly focused on consumer products not business products.

Re: Where’s the Halo Exactly?

oraclebase — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:42:14 -0000

Getting bigger in the tech conferences (as you know). Surprised they are not more popular with enterprisey types. They strike me as being more swayed by the pretties than the techies. :)

There is a GTV app for Android :) Here's a use case for the keyboard. You're watching something w that actor from that show, and it's killing you. Hit the IMDB app and type like a human, then back to the show.

I would also accept, pause the show and pick up your tablet. You get the idea.

David Goldstick — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:27:00 -0000

I think I'd eschew these physical keyboards for a Google TV app on my phone or tablet. Not sure that I'd need a true keyboard for as I don't plan on writing "War and Peace" on my TV. But then again, I'm not normal so who knows what the majority would appreciate.

Thank you!

Re: In Defense of the Logitech Revue Remote

Jake — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:08:51 -0000

Interesting feedback, thanks. Backlighting would be useful for the Logitech remote/keyboard. The small keys you mention are exactly why I prefer the Logitech one, which frankly, I could operate in the dark, since it's a standard qwerty :)

Gib Wallis — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 02:44:24 -0000

I have the Sony Internet TV powered by Google TV, which has the same remote as the Sony Google TV.

I like it enough, except for the lack of back lighting. I like to watch TV with the lights off and typing a command or a search string is a major pain when the keys are so small and you can't see which keys are which.

Good tip, thanks. I'll try to meet them at Kscope.

No idea what you mean about Amtrak.

John Sim — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:48:48 -0000

AMIS have a great team and also good regularly updated blogs. Also should be at KScope.
They cover a wide range of Oracle Tech and WebCenter.
