- Thanks for all the good times Russell, we'll miss you
- I was shocked and saddened when I read on Dan Farber's blog that Russell Shaw passed away on Friday, 14 March. I met Russell at Gnomedex last year after communicating with him virtually over the year previous to that. He was a fellow ZDNet blogger and wrote the IP Telephony...

- Robert Scoble livened up the August vacation time, when companies prefer to hold their announcements until after Labor Day (in the U.S. at least), with 35 minutes of video proclaiming that "SEO-resistant technologies like Mahalo, Techmeme, and Facebook are about to upend the search industry," meaning Google's dominant position in...

- The real question about Mac security

- Big iron and the failure of Enterprise 2.0
- All over the blogosphere one hears talk of Enterprise 2.0, in which lightweight software tools are predicted to encroach upon, and perhaps ultimately even replace, big software systems. I suppose it's a sort of "kinder, gentler," consumer-driven ecosystem, where software is cheap, easy to deploy, and avoids the gut-wrenching pain...

- Gnomedex: not fit for purpose
- One of the key questions that IT decision makers ask themselves: Is this software fit for purpose? Chris Pirillo's 'live' feed from Gnomedex doesn't pass that most basic of tests. At 275 concurrent connections it fails as you can see from the screenshot above.Is it any wonder that CXOs are...

- Your Mileage May Vary - Is this the best we can expect from Vista?
- Last Friday Robert McLaws Windows Now posted an interesting piece of Windows Vista as a response to a news item on AP entitled Six months on, Vista users still griping. The piece is based on Chris Pirillo's experiences with Vista.  Both pieces are worth a read but one thing that struck me...
