Tuesday, July 26th, 2011 at 5:32 PM EST
Until recently I was under the impression that faxes were a dying technology but I was talking to a friend in the real-estate business and I found out that still to this day, in 2011 when everyone is preaching green living that he along with his coworkers still fax and print many documents. Emailing isn’t [...]
NFC On A Mobile Is More Secure Then NFC On A Credit Card
Monday, July 25th, 2011 at 10:12 PM EST
I’m so tired of hearing about NFC payment via our phones. I’m disappointed hearing but not seeing it come to reality. It’s ridiculous and angering to me. For so many years I hear and read it’s coming but the biggest complaint is always security. Have u ever used NFC? No? Then you have no idea [...]
Nobody’s Prefect, or The Foibles Of ViceMale Transcription
Monday, July 25th, 2011 at 10:12 PM EST
Guest blog: Once upon a time, in a land far away and long ago, I watched a demonstration of an early form of voice recognition. (Okay, the land was Texas – at Texas Instruments headquarters in Dallas to be precise – and the date was 1981.) It was definitely geeky, and quite funny to watch [...]

When we first created Phone.com, we recognized that entrepreneurs, small businesses, and home workers were going to be the drivers for the economy in the Twenty-First century.

Last week I was in Yellowstone spending time with family. But I had to get some work done so I set up shop in the downstairs of our rented cabin. Truth be told it was about 4 feet underground. Well I got almost no cell phone reception downstairs but had to be on a few [...]
Using a BlackBerry When Abroad Saves Businesses Money
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011 at 6:08 PM EST
I wanted to share a tidbit of knowledge I have with all of our small business owners and employees out there. Entrepreneurs and self employed folks should listen in as well. I can’t imagine any of us have money to throw away these days and no one wants to give their money away to their [...]
SMS Should Not Fear iMessage For Even A Second
Friday, July 15th, 2011 at 1:10 AM EST
I remember last month with the announcement of iMessage that people were spouting off silly things like iMessage is going to kill SMS and SMS is on the decline.
