There are a whole lot of organizations and CIOs that really trust VMware for production work and are really skeptical of everything else out there. OpenStack is a nice fit for them, because it can be a bridge to ditching...

Personally, I find both the cattle/puppy and electricity analogies to be profoundly helpful in understanding (a) how many organizations and individuals fail to take advantage of the cloud (while still arguing they are "on...

Microsoft's attempt at unification between the mobile world and the desktop world is deeply flawed. In the mobile world, you're dealing with a handheld device and a small screen. Here, the touch-enabled Metro UI in Windows...

@Amicksha, certainly Apple would sell a ocean-going shipload of tablets if they put the iPad Mini on a similar $99 / $199 firesale deal. I certainly wouldn't expect that to happen this year, though, as they are holding around...
