Construction needs cloud flexibility

Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Rod Blagojevich shows no tech savvy needed to be Governor

Opinion and Analysis

Impeached and ousted former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich proved last night on the Celebrity Apprentice you don't need tech savvy to lead a state.

Regular iTWire readers know I'm a fan of Mark Burnett's Apprentice franchise so I was keenly amused by events in last night's episode of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice.

Among the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Cindy Lauper and the world's fastest man, Michael Johnson, one of the celebrities hitting the streets this time around is Rod Blagojevich.

Blagojevich was twice elected Governor of Illionois, the fifth most populous state in the United States of America.

His career hit a spectacular low after allegations that he had sought personal benefit in exchange for an appointment to the United States Senate as a replacement for Barack Obama after Obama, of course, resigned his Senate seat to become President of the United States.

Although Blagojevich is yet to face court he was impeached by the Illinois House of Representatives and barred from holding further public office in the state by the Senate.

Blagojevich isn't silent, however, whether in his blog or while performing tasks in the Apprentice.

Last night's episode showed us you don't need any IT savvy to run a state of 13 million people, beginning with Blagojevich's inability to power on a regular MacBook Pro laptop.
