Targeting: A Mobile Audience
May 05In today’s agile technology industry , we strive for ways to target audiences. In the advertising sector we usually hire others to do the work for us (Google AdSense). We invest a portion of our expenses towards advertisements, wait for revenue to start rolling in, and eventually repeat.

No, I don’t want to super-size that.
Mar 03The new Mac Mini is here and at long last I’m finally willing to take the plunge and get one. But which model will I choose? Sure I could spend the extra cash and have a fresh Mini with 320GB of storage and 4GB or RAM at my doorstep for the low price of $924. But I think I’m going to have to pass on that one. Why?
