I just found a hilarious comic strip based on Accenture (formerly known as Andersen Consulting).  The original comic name was Bigtime Consulting, after AC became Accenture it changed its name to Identure. Originally, the comic was run by anonimous Accenture empoyee that went public after leaving the company.

Some of the strips are really close to reality hehe. Here one of my favorites :

You can view more strips or check Wikipedia page about it.

Somewhere in 2007 I heard the phrase “Software is a commodity”.

3 Characteristics of it:

1.  Always demanded
2.  Interchangeable (well almost)
3.  No “Quality” measure.

That’s true for software? it was not, but know with the “Software Factories” it is becoming more like it. Now I am tired, but I promise to write more about it soon.

This bug is pervasive and common to al Web2.0ish social networking websites.

Generally, when you enter a social web, the application asks for your IM (GTALK, AIM, MSN)  Accounts to check if one of your contact is already in that sociual network and so automatically connect with him  (Examples, LikedIN,Facebook, Twitter,  and so).

So what is the bug? well it happens that for some IM Systems like MSN (and I think GMAIL) you can use your custom email. For example my MSN Messenger account is the same that my GMAIL e-mail addresses. So, what happens then? The system’s designers did not  consider it? Now,  I cannot import my MSN contacts into Facebook  or LinkedIn for that reason. They wrongly supposed that all MSN accounts “should” end in hotmail.com or msn.com

Changos.
