Jobs for Wi-Fi and basically said to hell with wireless carriers. So why hasn't Wi-Fi taken off and still a back seat occupant to wireless? Well for one thing, lack of investment. There simply isn't enough money being spent (grand scale) investing in Wi-Fi hotspots such that where ever you go, you're hot. Why? None other than the wireless carriers themselves strong holding the market and running every innovative Wi-Fi solution out of town to limit connectivity options of consumers. Think about it, with all the customer complaints AT&T gets, like who would really pay for AT&T wireless service if Wi-Fi was vast and wide enough to ensure constant coverage? You know the answer. On the other hand, some investments are currently underway with regards to Wi-Fi infrastructure. Moreover, such investments are creating thousands of new jobs.
So why didn't Steve Jobs abandon the ditch the wireless guys idea? Well who said he abandoned the idea? Ever heard of the IPad? Duh, one of the best-selling if not the best-selling models of the IPad 2 is the Wi-Fi only model. Now granted the IPad can't make phone calls, but then who needs phone calls when you can go Facetime using a Wi-Fi connection? After all a picture is worth a thousand words on the phone. So, with the IPad 2 you get Facetime, apps and web surfing with no wireless bill or contract. Wireless contracts stink anyway; they pretty much insure that customer service is all but non-existent. Why should wireless carries give a rats a** about service once you're locked in right. So wireless contracts are bad for consumers and bad for jobs. Perhaps, Steve Jobs in his immortal brilliance left some breadcrumbs on a path for innovators to follow. Hint hint. Invest more in national Wi-Fi which will create busloads of jobs and put serious business pressure on righteous wireless carriers that are blocking innovation and anytime, anywhere social networking. Bottom line -- to hell with wireless carriers after all even Steve Jobs was for the expansion of Wi-Fi and Apple benefited greatly from his visions.

Well would you look at that, the economy does have the ability to add jobs and finally put this recession thing in the rear view mirror. Sounds like i'm speaking french or something right? Nope you heard right, the economy actually added jobs last month and more than just a few. With the addition of 244,000 plus jobs, that's a sweet addition, especially if you're one of the lucky ones added to the payroll. Sure, it's not the 250,000 that Economic Oracles say is the golden job recovery number, but hey that's close enough especially considering the laughable hiring numbers lately. Now the big test is how long will the economy sustain this growth or is this a one hit wonder to get everyone revved up with warm fuzzes so you'll go out and spend up that big income tax refund check on a new iPad2 or perhaps the new BlackBerry tablet?
One thing is certain, it's definitely time to get on with the business as usual. That of course means hiring, expanding and more sales for companies. After all, the last 12 - 24 months or so, companies really have been using the economic climate or at least perception of things being doom and gloom to get a considerable productivity boost out of operations. Hey, there's nothing wrong with efficiency and productivity but at some point you stretch people thin and the productivity gains quickly turn into losses - in a New York minute as the saying goes. Anyway, let the good time roll and how about that BlackBerry tablet, it's sweet isn't it? Best Buy can keep up the supply of those unlike with the iPad2 [Apple is playing marketing tricks holding back supply intentionally]. Live a little get a toy, you deserve it and besides we don't hear much about a pick up in job growth so why not? Osama is down and jobs are up - back to business indeed.
