  • Poor IT Management Goes Mainstream [View article]
    What you don't mention is that Microsoft recently acquired Danger, a Palo Alto company which operated for 10 years.

  • Google Will Win the Application War Against Microsoft [View article]
    I have seen Google's free, default 100-row, 20-column online spreadsheet and found it to be instantly, utterly woefully a simplistic joke. Multiply that with the fact that they data mine customer information, and their user testimonials are by fishermen and students who are planning car trips with one another collaboratively who do not feel like using a few brain cells or a post it note, so instead turn to this app. (Nuff said yet to this junior Twit yet?). No..not yet. And have you ever needed to use a real spreadsheet? Or a RDBMS which interoperates with a spreadsheet or enterprise development platform (.Net)? (No, not yet, obviously).

  • Apple Asks Microsoft to 'Quit Running Those Laptop Hunters Ads' [View article]
    It's hard to feel sorry for Apple which has tried to rip Microsoft to shreds with their abysmally insulting commercials. Microsoft hit back with the accuracy of an intercontinental cruise ballistic missile. Good for Microsoft. Hopefully this is just the beginning.

  • Yahoo's Bartz Minimizes Microsoft's Bing [View article]
    I can't remember when I used Yahoo for search last. It has great news and financial products, but search? C'mon.

  • Why Bing Isn't for Me [View article]
    I like what I see with Bing. Competition is important and I'm glad MS is making some inroads. Give it some time. It just launched 2 days ago!

  • Windows 7: Another Round in the Microsoft - Apple Rivalry [View article]
    You must be right. I must have imagined all the times I drove him to the Apple store with his tower in hand for repairs. All in all, it came out to approximately 15K in Apple's coffers. Your estimate did not include a gigantic monitor, any software or any supplemental hardware or extra protection.

  • Windows 7: Another Round in the Microsoft - Apple Rivalry [View article]
    As my friend has taken his $15,000 Apple tower for the 6th time to the Apple store for repairs for one thing or another, and my $2,000 PC 0 times in 3X as much time, for me it is a no brainer. Apple fan boys really do drink the Kool Aid.

  • Hello Cloud Storage, Goodbye Consumer Hard Disk Drives [View article]
    I use cloud computing now. I have a desktop and keep all my files on my hard drive. It is my own little environment with my own cloud computing model.

  • Microsoft's Windows 7 Is a Threat to Linux - But Watch Out for Google [View article]
    Google and Microsoft each have a lot of catching up to do for their competition. Microsoft from the online powerhouse, Google from the business software powerhouse. I use Google as my search engine, and Microsoft for my business software. Both are the best in those respective areas. Google as an OS? Humm, well we shall see. Does this mean that I will have to use a *browser* as my de-facto UI for every application I work in? (I find that idea laughable). Or is google going to go into the desktop software business as they tried with Google Search? (what happened to the 'cloud'?)

  • Hello Cloud Storage, Goodbye Consumer Hard Disk Drives [View article]
    Rules

    1. Anything that is stored in a cloud is searched by the cloud-holder and the recipient is then sent advertising based on the results (think gmail).

    2. Records are permanent. Anything, anything, you add to the cloud is subpoenable by the government (think Bush administration behind their veil of "homeland security").

    3. Why would I want to do this? Is everything going to be run in a cloud (Excel, SQL Server). Doubt it. The capabilities are a couple of decades off. It won't be long before the "cloud" idea is deemed "antiquated". The reality is that consumers and BUSINESSES especially will want a mixture of both.
