June 8, 2009

Analysis of:Google Wave shows the Future of the Corporate Desktop | hvrietsc.blogspot.com

Google Wave can easily replace email, IM, blogs, Wikis and SharePoint in other words ALL the collaborative tools that are in use in the corporate world of desktops. Almost as a side effect Google Wave is taking on the Microsoft desktop monopoly, forcing them to up the ante, so as to not loose the very profitable desktop business.

Google Wave is not another FaceBook

June 8, 2009

Analysis of:Google's New Wave | www.reuters.com

Google Wave is designed to replace email, IM, wikis and bogs. It is not designed to be another Facebook, although it will take away some "eyeball marketshare" from the likes of FaceBook.

Yes Google will become Big Brother, because users don't care

June 4, 2009

Analysis of:Internet and Personal Security | notes2self.net

In order to be competitive Google needs to collect personal information about its users so they can better target their ads. Without proper targeting, the ads will become annoying to the user and a waste of money to the advertiser. So the race is on to collect as much information as legally allowed.

What's Hot about VMWare version 4

April 27, 2009

Analysis of:VMware unveils its cloud OS; Wants to be a bridge for the enterprise | blogs.zdnet.com

The best new feature of VMware v4.0 (dubbed vShphere) is the inclusion of "FT" - Fault Tolerance.  Essentially, if a primary server fails, the 2nd "Shadow" server will seamlessly assume the role of the primary server.  This means - zero - downtime. There are certain caveats, such as shared storage is required and a high speed link between the 2 servers is assumed, but IF you need true fault tolerance, this is a great idea.

Security Technology Vendors, Too Little Too Late?

March 30, 2009

Analysis of:Cyber crime profits running into trillions of dollars | www.itnews.com.au

Information security technology vendors have been trying to catch up with the hacker community with little success in the last couple years.  Most of their tools are out of date the day that they are released for sophisticated attacks.  The hacker community has become more organized and focused on their goal to quietly make money through the use of malicious software and social engineering without advertising their capabilities.  The vendor community needs to change the fundamental ways the design and produce technology or at a minimum reset expectations on the value proposition of their capabilities if they are to continue to drive value and not become commoditized in enterprise information technology environments.

March 12, 2009
