Google ChromeOS – What’s up with that
There’s been a lot of speculation about Google ChromeOS and what it’s target is. Many originally thought it was set out to be the Windows killer and have taken that assumption back. The deliberate disabling of the use of hard disk drives in favor of SSD or flash drives makes this very clear it’s going […]
Getting Found
One of the biggest problems being faced today by companies in the business of content is that of discovery. It used to be that if you could weasel your way into a spot in the newspaper odds were that you would get a reasonable amount of people to look at your product. Ideally those people […]
Application Virtualization
I’ve seen it to some degree, but I wonder when application virtualization will hit big. I can fire up VMWare now and run a load balancer or other apps from within a virtual linux box, that’s the start. Will it take long to realize maybe we should open Outlook in some sort of micro virtualized […]

worm
I’ve been able to get more reading done lately. One book I’ve read is Upping the Anti- by Tom Gillis, this was given to us by one of our Cisco vendors upon request. The book itself isn’t bad, it covers the basics of spam, virus and spyware happenings in the last few years. If you […]
Flat on your face
Tonight’s ponderance is, how long will Facebook last before it goes flat? Don’t get me wrong, I really do like Facebook and I’m very impressed by all the clicky widgetry and modules people have written. I just don’t see how Facebook will manage to support itself with advertising once it becomes yesterdays cool thing (aka […]
