How to find big hidden money in your telephone bills.

How and when to replace your aging fleet of machines.

Recently it was revealed that Comcast, on their Xfinity mobile platform, used a default PIN of "0000" on all accounts to restrict the porting of phone numbers.  Once this was made known, customers were having their numbers stolen - or ported - to other carriers without their permission.

Truth be told, I purchased the CraneOnTech.com domain name over a year ago.  Since then I’ve often pondered what in the world to do with the domain.  Did I really want to be another Kevin 

Rose or Leo LaPorte?  Not really.  But what I did want to do was have a forum where thoughts and ideas regarding technology could be expressed, challenged and discussed.  My perspectives are sometimes not mainstream, so you won’t hear much of the standard “IT Sales Guy fear, uncertainly and doubt” chatter here.  I prefer to be based in real-world applications of technology while at the same time being mindful of future implications.
