It was a generally interesting day of keynote speeches at the Web 2.0 conference Wednesday, although a couple of the presentations were real mind-benders. One keynote laid out how developers can use core concepts of gaming apps to create better products. Others dealt with creating infectious action,...
As city administrators grapple with the notion of tying all their apps into one overarching network, should they be looking to open source as an alternative to apps from vendors? Enterprise-level open source apps exist, and are used both by the federal government and by large corporations. For examp...
Social networks are peppering the Internet with Facebook-like interactive features. Ajax is fast becoming the defacto programming tool for Web developers. But by itself, Ajax is a daunting challenge that requires demanding coding skills. Ajax toolkits offer Web developers a shortcut method to build ...
One of the things you learn quickly when you work for a large company is how well executives can cover up failure. I think, to a large extent, that is what is happening with Linux. Folks are covering up its failure with rhetoric, and that is keeping it from growing to its potential. I'm an analyst, ...
It is sometimes interesting what people get excited about, and the Apple loyalists evidently got really excited about a question, which some thought I had asked, surrounding why there is no "Intel Inside" sticker on Apple Notebooks. I think the real answer to that question is actually kind of intere...
I'm spending some time thinking about missed and anticipated opportunities this week. In looking at Windows Server, I've become convinced that it is the wrong product for the Unix displacement market. In fact, in my head, it really always has been -- I just don't talk about servers much, so it doesn...
What began as a promising way to protect CDs from piracy has become a public relations nightmare for Sony BMG Entertainment and its digital rights management (DRM) partners, First 4 Internet (F4I) and SunnComm. The new lawsuits leveled at Sony BMG stem from its sale of audio CDs protected with a sch...
It's been a long two weeks for Sony. In the latest development in the Digital Rights Management (DRM) software saga, the music giant's application has allegedly infringed on others' copyrights. Jon Lech Johansen, better known as DVD Jon, claims in his blog that the XCP software from First4Internet t...
For several years a number of us have been anticipating the emergence of a Software Labor Union. The argument has not been whether it will emerge but what form it will take. The conditions for forming technology unions have never been better. In many companies there exists a huge difference in com...
In the years I spent running one of IBM's internal audit teams, I developed a methodology for testing organizations to see if they were likely to have problems. At every executive level, you have to be able to trust the people doing the job, but you also need to make sure there are controls so that...
I'm currently reading a science fiction book that refers to Bill Gates, and I was watching a movie recently in which one of the streets is named Microsoft Way, which happened to be on the moon. Clearly, Microsoft permeates much of what we do in tech, so it's no wonder that every time there is a chan...
I was chatting with a journalist a couple of days ago to help with background on a story on Microsoft designed to debunk one of the most common misconceptions surrounding the company. I started to realize there were a lot of them -- some I actually held myself -- that either were no longer true or n...
By responding to IBM counterclaims against it and arguing that the General Public License (GPL) that covers Linux is not enforceable and in fact violates the U.S. Constitution, Utah software company SCO has put itself in a tough position, intellectual property and software lawyers told TechNewsWorld...
Linux remains overmatched in the 32-bit world on the desktop. There is just too large a base of Windows users and related applications for Linux to dominate the market in a reasonable period of time. However, transitions breed change, and the industry is about to take a big step into the 64-bit worl...
The legal battle over alleged unauthorized incorporation of Unix source code into Linux is leading to scrutiny of the GNU General Public License that covers the use and distribution of open-source software. In its $3 billion lawsuit against IBM, SCO has claimed commercial users of Linux are benefiti...
