International Business Machines has a take on the future
I believe it is wise to keep an eye and ear out for what vanguard companies are saying, especially when it comes to matters of the future. IBM has a view of the near future world as being one that will be driven by what we do in urban environments. I tend to agree on [...]
we didn’t want your money anyway
An article in The New York Times recently reported that “[v]enture capitalists . . . last year invested the lowest amount in [technology start-ups] since 1997.”
That’s a pretty staggering statistic, though a certainly understandable one, given the economic climate. Fortunately, though, Cabcorner, LLC and CabCorner.com have been able to survive the downturn and reduced venture [...]
What’s the potential size of Cabcorner’s Market?

How the recession continues to weave a web of diminishing service whilst increasing costs
As if the world stock markets’ precipitous fall, beginning in 2008, and the carnage that quickly spread from Wall St. to Main St. wasn’t enough to make one wonder if or how they could have avoided the downdraft, being a New Yorker in this recession has just gotten a little more poignant. [...]

When Bureaucracy Dreams…
I’m so proud of my MTA.
The New York transit system is looking to introduce a pricing policy that would offer passengers discounts to ride late at night and on weekends. A new computerized, scannable fare card would allow New York City Transit to charge passengers different prices depending on the time of day, a practice [...]
