New England Takes On Seattle To Determine Who’s Number 2 … In Tech!

January 19, 2015 By Stephen 5 Comments

One of the most remarkable aspects of running Tech Field Day is seeing all the innovation happening in Silicon Valley. Although we love to take our event on the road to other cities (we've hit Boston, Seattle, Austin, and Denver too), nothing compares to the San Jose-San Francisco axis of tech. That's why this year's Super Bowl matchup between Seattle and New England made me … [Read more...] about New England Takes On Seattle To Determine Who’s Number 2 … In Tech!

VMware’s Hardware Partner Strategy: Heads I Win, Tales You Lose

February 11, 2013 By Stephen 1 Comment

VMware is in an enviable but tricky situation: The company must work closely with hardware partners, keeping these prime sales and promotional channels happy and supportive.

May 21, 2012 By Stephen 1 Comment

An obnoxious meme has returned to the fore lately, claiming that innovation is dead. The hippies did it, or maybe it was the Internet, or even a decline of America. But nothing could be further from the truth, and statements like this make me question the perspective of the speaker. "These Kids These Days!" "These kids these days don't know how bad is used to be! We had … [Read more...] about On the Death of Innovation, or “These Kids These Days!”

Microsoft’s Overlooked Innovation

February 15, 2010 By Stephen Leave a Comment

It's fun to bash Microsoft. It's easy, too, with Apple solidly conquering the high end of the PC and mobile markets and Google's command of the Internet. But how fair are these articles skewering Microsoft, such as "Microsoft's chronic lack of innovation" published today at Techworld? I suggest that Microsoft innovates as well as, if not better than, any other massive company. … [Read more...] about Microsoft’s Overlooked Innovation
