You're in a squeeze. How things ultimately shake out is not relevant right now, because you need to act right now. Work still needs to get done, systems need to stay running, and you must continue to keep pace with your competitors. The analysts are projecting enterprise IT spen... (more)

Who knows if Google can transform its strengths in handling megatraffic into the ability to develop a mega-OS? Google today is primarily an IT company. Yes, it is quite annoying that this public company won't publicly discuss where it keeps its servers, let alone give a hint to t... (more)

http://tinyurl.com/nz7uy7 Nice to see this recognition for a great collaborative effort among many of us at TIBCO. I was surprised not to see the editor's (ie, my) name in the press release, but that's corporate life you know. I have appreciated the support and guidance of Ram Meno... (more)

Sorry, got a little distracted by the megadeal last week. I see I wrote four entries about the deal, which was probably at least one too many. Yet I spent too many years writing, publishing, and producing for Sun to let this deal go uncommented upon. The relationship started when w... (more)

A good writer can make any subject tolerable, even interesting. I hope to write well enough here to make the subject of this post as interesting as possible. It's often remarked that music and mathematics seem to fit well in certain people's brains. The great Doug Hofstatdler's G... (more)

I've been in touch recently with Sharon Colaco, a well-known IT business writer from Pune, India. Working with Sharon over the years, I've found that she takes a detached view of the IT business in India, ie, she's neither a cheerleader nor someone who is overly critical, in a co... (more)
