We all know that Bill Gates is happy where he is, and doesn’t want to return to Microsoft as a CEO. He’s publicly stated it repeatedly, and that has been a fact for a little over a decade. Still, every time I go through Microsoft’s current situation, I can’t deny how much of a déjà vu this is to the story of one of Microsoft’s closest rivals. Larry Ellison was recently in the spotlight because of his comments regarding Apple’s leadership. The now billionaire CEO that created Oracle and that made it what it is, was also Steve Jobs’ best friend. In ...

The biggest problem with technology is that technology alone is not enough. A computer is dead without software, and software is useless without hardware that’s molded to interact with it. Imagine buying a car and getting it without a steering wheel, or having a steering wheel and no engine to power it. Either scenario is both useless, and even ridiculous by today’s standards. That said, let’s not be too dramatic, and let’s focus on the ability to buy something usable, that’s not necessarily desirable. If you’re like me and you like fast cars, driving a ...
