Ronin Wins Rollout With Interactive Rollout, But Can’t Name Client January 12, 2012 by Super User I tend to pay the most attention to Wireless Ronin when the company is forced by those damned securities regulators to lift the veil each quarter and show its financials.

AM Conference On Content Set For Jan. 24th In Toronto January 11, 2012 by Super User Maybe I have just been in this sector too long, or just too jaded, but my instant reaction to word of an event billed as the Digital Signage Masters Series: CONTENT is King – Best Practices is a plea to be shot and put out of my misery. Anyway, setting the hybrid over-grandiose/dead-tired event handle …
