One of Database Designs' strengths is that we support three development platforms: .Net, drupal and SalesForce. This means that we can bring our knowledge of all three environments to select the one that best meets our clients' needs.  I am the head of our .Net practice and  as such, I was given the job of shepherding Database Designs through the Microsoft Certified Partner process.  

I love Apple products, but I don't like the policies behind the App Store or iTunes.  That said, Steve Jobs got it right when he banned Adobe's Flash from Apple's mobile platform.

Flash is the technology for peristing information about you and your surfing habits outside of your browser.  In other words it a perfect end run around privacy settings.  It didn't start out that way on purpose either.
