These 2 are my absolute favorites when it comes to making points and using humor – it works! We all like to laugh and there’s a lot of news out there that tells us that it is good for us to laugh! Since we are talking humor and satire, let’s take a real look at how consumers value personal...

I really like this technology and it is interesting to see it emerge in entertainment and I would like to see this same technology save lives too, if we can wake up the FDA and some of the drug and device companies to at least take a look. Scan that stent before it is used in surgery in case it...

This is a very lengthy section that goes over recalls put out by the FDA. It entails many procedures and outlines what is needed to be done. The part of this that I am concerned with is the “red tape” procedures and lack of automation and the fact that sometimes with all of this, products...

Everybody that reads here, knows I am a fan of Tags and I have an entire series of how they can be used in healthcare, they work with RFIDs too. Watch the video and see how they are used for entertainment. I guess that must come first, you think? This is all free too. The...

I say it can’t get much worse, but it does. Death threats are to be taken seriously by all means and there’s anger on both sides. Blaming each other and the other party accomplishes nothing. I tell people all the time to watch what you put on the Internet about yourself, well the same applies...

There’s a new video out on Windows Tags. Watch the video and pretend that box with Windows Vista is a stent ready to be used in surgery, get the hint here, take that phone out and scan the box! If it has been recalled, one scan would let your know. Medical device companies can use this to...

Kick everyone else, well it appears they have a much stronger hold on this project than any other efforts I have seen out there when it comes to working with their customers and addressing these issues, and they use technology to do this.
