Quote of the Day: Herman Melville

"A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things."


I detest most corporate-speak but I hate the phrase "game-changer" with an especially fiery hatred. Everything is a game-changer at my company. The old process was a game-changer and the new process we are replacing it with is also a game-changer. I guess game-changers don't necessarily change the game for the better. It's pretty hard to know the rules of the game when the game keeps changing all the time. Perhaps that explains the losing record.


By the way, the Apple iPad is not a game-changer. It's a complete joke. I'll be surprised if the marketplace decides it wants an overgrown iPhone too big to put in your pocket.
