Terri Joosten weighs in on the issue of IT talent being retained in Canada.

“Although a ‘technology targeted’ immigration plan may be part of the answer, it may not be the long term answer.

Cellphones hit the shoals
The Globe and Mail

The case of the missing iPhones
ZD Net
Larry Dignan writes that Steve Jobs said at MacWorld that Apple has sold four million iPhones to date, but only two million were actually activated by AT&T. Here, he offers a theory as to where the missing iPhones really are.

“We don’t know where the iPhones are because they were sold, unlocked and spread around the globe. Keith Bachman, (analyst for BMO Capital Markets), reckons that 20 percent the iPhone sales thus far have been unlocked. That equates to about 750,000 iPhones.”
