Raymond Chen has a blog post entitled You don't know what you do until you know what you don't do where he writes
I've seen a lot of software projects, and one thing I've learned is that you
don't have a product until you start saying "No".In the early phases of product design, you're all giddy with excitement. This
new product will be so awesome. It will slice bread. It will solve world hunger.
It's designed for everybody, from the technology-averse grandmother who wants to
see picture of her grandkids to the IT manager who is in charge of 10,000
computers. It'll run equally well on a handheld device as in a data center.
When I see a product with an all-encompassing description like this, I say to
myself, "They have no idea what their product is." You don't know what you do
until you know what you don't do. And the sooner you figure out what you don't
do the better, because a product that promises to do everything will never ship.
In my five years at Microsoft, I've seen a bunch of projects fail. Some were public flame outs that are still embarrassing to mention today while others are private mistakes that you'll never hear anyone outside the b0rg cube mention. A few months ago I wrote a blog post entitled Top 5 Signs Your Project is Doomed and since then I've considered a few more entries that should be on the list bringing the total to 10. The list below are common signs that a software project is doomed. Meeting one or two of these criteria isn't necessarily the kiss of death but three or more and you might as well start circulating your resume.
Trying to do too much in the first version. See Raymond's point above. Taking a major dependency on unproven technology. Competing with an existing internal project that was either a cash cow or had backers that are highly placed in the corporate hierarchy. The team is understaffed. If you have less people than can handle the amount of work you have to do then the right thing to do is to scale back the project. Practically every other choice leads to failure. Complexity is one of the goals of the project because "complex problems require complex solutions". Schedule Chicken Scope CreepSecond System SyndromeNo Entrance Strategy. When a project can't articulate how it goes from a demo or prototype to being in the hands of end users, there's a problem. This is particularly relevant in the "Web 2,0" world where many startups only strategy for success is getting a mention on TechCrunch and the fact that their service has "viral" features. Tackling a problem you don't know how to solve. It's pretty amazing how often I've seen this occur.

TripSync, a distributed booking system aimed at trip planning for small to medium sized businesses, quietly launched last week. We recently reported on some other distributed booking systems as well.
TripSync is a web based application that lets your business book and manage the three major details of any business trip: flight, rental car, and hotel. You use a search wizards to find and make bookings in each of these categories. After specifying all the details, you can pay for all the arrangements by credit card, or hold off on payment and reserve the listing for 24 hours (most travel sites don’t have this option). When the booking is finalized, an itinerary with accompanying maps is saved to your online account and emailed back to you.
That would be all well and good for a one man show, but TripSync also has an administration level making it possible to plan trips for other members of your organization. Each user can make the administrator’s job a bit easier by setting their preferences for the types of flights, cars, and hotels they want. Armed with this info, the admin can then make and manage trips for every employee and post them to their TripSync account.
Each trip can be managed on site, or through an easy to use Outlook plugin that automatically posts your trip itineraries to your calendar (Google and Yahoo calendar coming). The Outlook plugin makes it easy to rebook your plans by simply dragging and dropping the appointment to a new spot on your calendar. If the slot is available it will rebook. They have a great demo of the whole process here.
TripSync has larger plans than being a destination site for trip planning. They are currently integrating their technology with various partners in tied to booking services such as conferences, expense reporting programs, and CRM applications. They also plan to lower the affiliate margins travel services have to pay. Currently the site’s search engine uses Sabre Holding’s database of travel information for flights, cars, and hotels (Travelocity also uses them). Sabre charges monthly fees for storing this information as well as a for each booking made on through the service. These fees are somewhere around $9-$12 per booking for flights (depending on complexity) and cut into airline’s profit margins. South West has decided not to play this game and decided to never participate in these large globally distributed databases. TripSync wants to circumvent Sabre and book directly through the service providers for a smaller affiliate fee, allowing them to compete with lower booking prices.
TripSync is based out of White Plains New York with $3.5 million in financing they received from lead investor Ascend Venture Partners along with First Round Capital and various other angels last April.

His case? Essentially, as a newcomer "there is no likelihood that Apple can be successful in a [cellphone] business this competitive." Echoing similar sentiments already shared by Palm's Ed Colligan. Of course, we've already witnessed a newcomer step into the mobile handset business, which Dvorak describes as a "buzz saw waiting to chop up newbies," and emerge as the boutique, go-to provider for high-end handsets -- heard of HTC? Hell, you don't have to be a fanboy or even an iPhone fan to feel the retch of nonsensical nausea welling within. Look, we're not saying Apple's success is guaranteed by any stretch, but let's call this rant what it is: shameless attention whoring.
