How far can you get into an AI press release or industry article before your brain quietly replaces the rest with blah, blah, blah?
Here are the 7 reader “personas” – because the tech world had already over-rotated on persona research long before on AI doublespeak.

You have to add The Ten Commandments to your article the other day with Soylent Green, Demolition Man and Rollerball.

Back in 2014, Microsoft’s first real InfoComm presence felt almost reluctant – a big booth, a few displays, and a lot of empty space.
Now, in 2026, Microsoft and Cisco are both keynoting the show.
Read about all this in my latest article:

Um....not sure if I should applaud or facepalm....

If you have any air travel planned for the rest of the year, maybe buy your tickets now...ASAP.

I can't begin to fathom how bad it will be for Paramount to own WB. Say goodbye to all the HBO honest documentaries, not to mention @lastweektonight1.bsky.social The level of censorship expected will decimate free speech.
BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
Watching companies that gutted loyal teams now brag about “exciting new roles” feels surreal.
I just wrote a LinkedIn post on the coming wave of toxic, distrust-filled workplaces – and why building a 20-year career at a layoff-happy firm makes no sense. www.linkedin.com/posts/davidd...
A beloved audio brand just launched its first video bar – and that says a lot about how easy it has become to “enter” the video market. Platforms + ODMs + MDEP are quietly reshaping who counts as a video manufacturer.

Microsoft has blown the AI rollout without a steady, clear, understandable message and product and pricing. I use Copilot as the analogy for changes in my blogs.
Copilot changes more than a baby changes diapers.
As I've said before, they need an intervention on this.
I used to be a big fan of the Dilbert comic strip. When I found out the author was a racist & idiot I stopped following it. I hear he died yesterday. RIP, but he died in my eyes many years ago.
When something/someone I admire turns out to be an idiot, I have the critical thinking to change my mind.
I was very proud to see so many AV and enterprise professionals at CES this year. It's well past urgent for the AV community to embrace an understanding of where tech's future is headed & not stay stuck in the past. 50 people could attend/see & learn 200 different things/experiences. #AVInTheAM
United sends their elite passengers at Newark to a bag check shortcut that they don’t open, and they have one person doing a line of about 200 people. Way to go #United!
One of the problems is we've been teaching our kids the wrong lessons. Here's a better story for Rudolph. Happy Holidays!
Merici Canada! And to CBS: Argo _ _ _ _ yourself!
To read the story on the politically corrupt 60 minutes story, I'd need to follow your gift link to the politically corrupt WaPo.
No thanks.
Maybe in the future let people know a change like this is coming so they don't think they've reached a spoofed website looking for their PII.....
New TalkingPointz Test Bench video is up, focused on Center of Table cameras..
I unbox the AudioCodes RXVcam360 and show its features, alongside a new white paper that explores the history and evolution of #COT cameras. This category isn’t as new as people think. www.linkedin.com/posts/davidd...
Happy Thanksgiving to our friends and partners, and to all who celebrate, from all of us at TalkingPointz. Wishing everyone meaningful moments with the people who matter.
The U.S. DOT wants us to “dress up” for flights again, as if a necktie is going to fix air travel’s… everything.
So I wrote a sarcastic reminder of what the real golden age looked like.
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at modern flying, enjoy this trip back in time. danto.info/Golden_Age-J...
Turned a few of my honest takes into wearable truths. Think “Friends don’t let friends buy bad tech” and “Tech issues aren’t unexpected – they’re any Tuesday.” Travel versions too. "My points devalued while you read this." All by a reputable partner. Browse here: Tinyurl.com/TechAndTravelWear.
Yup…
My travel blog this week unfortunately has to dive into politics - which I hate doing - but what we have here is a crisis:

Amazon just sent Perplexity AI a cease-and-desist for scraping data. The company that built an empire on automation now fears being disrupted by it. The elephants are fighting in the schoolyard–and stomping on jobs, stores, and the future of humanity along the way.

We all wanted the beautiful future that Star Trek promised us, but instead of that, the stupid people who voted against their own best interests have brought us Star Wars and its evil empire.
We always knew the emperor's nature was evil. It's those who voted for him that we will never forgive.
Still holding meetings in mountains and canyons? Twenty years on, creative conference-room names keep confusing people. If your guests need a Sherpa to find “Paris,” your office design isn’t clever, it’s broken. Read about it in my latest LinkedIn blog.
