Questions?

🙂

Someone asked me about where I get my news (aside from the few links I posted on the left).

Since I am hoping that many more people will be interacting with me and this blog as time goes on, I will create a “Questions Page”.

Feel free to make a comment and of course leave a question, I will try to find relevant information or refer you to an expert on the field.

Of course you can always take the Google route!

Many of you reading this have great websites, books and shows to get your information from. Main sources for the BusinessGears blog are:

• AM680 News
• Bloomberg News
• *Google News/Finance
• Associated Press (through blackberry pocket express)
• BBC News
• MSNBC – Business
• BNN – Canadian

*Google news pretty much covers all other respected news entities (including Globe&Mail, Financial Post, Economist, etc).

Coming Soon: Posts on China’s influence, Monthly Review, plus Motivation & Creativity.

iPad is less and less attractive

Is it worth it?

If you have been paying close attention to all new information about the coveted iPad, then this post will probably not enlighten you. However, if you’re just hearing third-party info, or non at all, then this post is for you!

Here are major issues I (and many others) have with the iPad:

• No camera
• No multitasking
• No flash support
• No USB!
• Expensive (remember to add data access – monthly)

The unoriginal conclusion (since everyone on the net already stated this) – this is a giant iTouch! – It is not unique, not competitive and quite simply disappointing.

What are your thoughts?
