TeamViewer: How not to do updates.

I used to like TeamViewer; pretty good user interface and few technical problems made it the best choice for remote desktop control. However, the update from version 6 to version 7 is a disaster on such a scale that I am wondering whether to change to another system. The screen-shot from my Ubuntu desktop says a lot…

TeamViewer on Lunix - Update / upgrade disaster.

In brief, on Linux I cannot connect to clients with the latest version and I cannot upgrade to the latest version. In desperation, I changed to a Windows box and upgraded the installed TeamViewer 6 to version 7. Upon updating, I am told that the present license isn’t valid and that it must be upgraded by paying 149 euros. Great CRM guys…

Electric Innovation – Two-Wheeled Wonders

This blog’s primary focus is on entrepreneurship in general and innovation in the ICT sector in particular. However, in this article I’ll deviate a bit. Something just came up that combine 3 of my favorites themes: innovation, clean-tech and motorcycles. In a recent article [no-1] in the Norwegian Polytechnic Weekly (Teknisk Ukeblad), a really cool electrical motorcycle design was presented, made by students at the renowned Universität für angewandte Kunst (the University of Applied Art) in Vienna.

Communicating Your Business Idea (1) – The Business Plan

The business plan has been treated in an endless number of publications. So why do I? Because I believe there is a lack of focus in a lot of what is written about business plans. The important things are often lost in the details. In fact, a business plan can be very brief.

I have seen compelling business plans in the form of a few PowerPoint slides, a couple of scribbled pages, and a brief video. What matters is having all the required ingredients (or a road map for getting them), not the exact form of communication. William A. Sahlman [1]

Media: Still Backing Into the Future?

Obsolete? "Newsagent", by Ben Terrett. Some rights reserved.
Obsolete? “Newsagent”, by Ben Terrett. Some rights reserved.

We need news, proper news, the results of professional investigative reporting. We need it now more than ever. Why? Due to the climate change and local, regional environmental destruction and global demographics, we have extremely turbulent times ahead. In fact, they have already started.

In this situation, the much reported decline of quality journalism is – to say the least – lamentable [fr1, fr2]. The so-called citizen journalism is no replacement for professional investigative reporting. But unlike the latter, professional journalists need to get paid. Maintaining and even expanding investigative reporting is possible, even with reduced sales of advertising space, but only if news media comes to grip with the new reality in terms of production, presentation and distribution.
