by Russell Buckley on 12. Feb, 2010 in Analysis
About a month ago, I wrote a post exploring the potential downsides of the new hot topic of Augmented Reality. As a reminder, while I’m a huge fan of AR and have been for years, but that doesn’t mean that I’m blind to future problems, unlike many pundits who are busy hyping it up.

by Russell Buckley on 26. Jan, 2010 in Analysis
There are a bunch of sectors going through huge disruptions at the moment, whether it’s newspapers, telephony (via VoIP), books, TV, music, film, mobile handsets and if those rumours are right, the PC might be coming in for a fair bit of disruption tomorrow too. But one sector that is changing and doesn’t get a [...]
Piracy Might be Good for Business
by Russell Buckley on 26. Jan, 2010 in Analysis, Music
We’ll all too aware that record companies have been blaming their industry woes on people who download music without paying for it.
