"The Web" didn't just suddenly happen in 1989 (nor was it "invented" by Al Gore). What happened then is that a structure and a name was given to what was already in existance (highly-interconnected infrastructure,...

The deal is set to be finalized later this year. It will be interesting to see if anything does stall or prevent it.

The White House President's Council of Economic Advisers recently released a report that, while no doubt self serving, nevertheless pulls together some useful and telling information about the impact of patent trolls. It's...

Whether it is in the military or otherwise, virtual desktops are the future. The problem is that we have continued to hear about it, yet nothing has been done. Now, the Army is doing it. That's because they realize the risks...

No question, Tim Berners-Lee's work launched the Web as we've come to know it -- but as many will add, what he created stands on the shoulders of those who helped create the Arpanet. I've had the good fortune to spend time...

Using the "web" in 1970 would quite a trick, since it wasn't invented until 1989. I think you meant you were using the Internet in 1970. Commonly confused, the Web and Internet are not the same.

Let's also give credit to the U.S. Government and DOD. I started using the Web in 1970 to write curvefit programs at NASA Ames on what was termed "Darpanet." Government agencies, institutions and universities...

I must say, I love the part about the amount of social junk floating around on the web today. Really, who could have thought that would ever happen? It's a social construct that we have created ourselves, a new form of...

Interesting article. It would have been cool to be able to click to larger versions of some of those images. Legends and such were too small to make out on some. I tried clicking them but that just gets me a new window of...
In reply to: Bigger Images?
Although Tim Berners-Lee gets the credit, much of the underlying innovation that we know as the "World Wide Web" goes back a lot further. The origin of the idea of linked text and images probably lies with Vannevar...
In reply to: It goes back a lot further than that.
Centuries ago the world was represented on maps with a centre somewhere ... Jerusalem, Mecca, London. Maps and routes were carefully and jealously guarded, kept secret in rutters and company or imperial vaults. People...

It tooks an integrated project team three years to come up with a way to designate Google email as tempory, permanent or nonrecord and build an automated way of acting on those designations? Well, it hasn't been done before,...

To your point about process, none of these systems will provide a blicking red light that says "you have a quality problem here." They require engineers, product experts, to look at the output and assess what action to t...
In reply to: Re: Is GM monitoring even after the fact?
I really like this idea. There are so many small companies or individuals who would love to be part of NASA but it's not like they can be bought up or absorbed by the administration. When we have the likes of...

Speak for yourself. I do care. Repairability is always on my top list. It is also very important to be able to swap the battery yourself (or replace it for a meager $30), rather than being dependent on some company who will...
In reply to: But i do care!
I agree. This case also shows the ineptidue and knee-jerk reactions of the US government. Instead of pinning the stiffest penalties on Snowden and chasing him out of the country into the arms of the Russian government, the...

Great exercise to welcome the innovative ideas from the people and thinking about implementing in the govt sectors.

If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
