Open source causes deflationFor desktop, proprietary software costs a low. For microsoft desktop products, software costs are an afterthought. Computer that I have been using for almost four years would be entirely covered by two days of my salary. But you are right that Open source causes deflation. Microsoft was...
Open source provides productivity, at little or no cost, to just about everyone. When times are flush we see it in lower inflation. But labor costs are actually going down now. Thus it becomes deflation. by Dana Blankenhorn
Green Tech Bubble Deflation--Matches General Economy?Never terribly excited by it.As one of the many alternatives we could come up with, this one never really excited me. Sure it's cool to be able to create fuel in our own nation, but I think other alternatives hold more promise.That's the problem with...
A couple American ethanol plants are being shutdown, at least for now. One is in Indiana, the other in Ohio. AltraBiofuels gives its official reason for the closures: "market conditions." Read that as much lower gasoline prices. If gasoline prices continue to stay at this level or...
Anyone with a computer and access to stock photos can put together a slide presentation and upload it to sites such as slideshare, and sometimes it seems like everyone and his brother is doing just that on social media, enterprise 2.0 and other 2.0-ish subjects. ...
Microsoft's store foray: Compensating for the tech retail implosion?Good pointMS realizes it can't base its business model on inertia, so the retail store is not a bad idea. Also, I feel far more confident with the Apple store employees than I do with the employees at Best Buy, rightly or...
Managing IT in desperate timesSome good ideasBut your treatise on the economy is not. I have read much on the US economy, and the "experts" seem to agree that there is a danger of DEflation - as all those newly printed dollars tend not to circulate - banks don't lend...

I have a lot of sympathy for Sridhar Vembu. CEO of AdventNet, the parent company behind Zoho. His last two posts reflect much of the fear and frustration behind what I am hearing in the startup world. But amid the gloom, Sridhar offers a glimmer of hope. A few snippets....
After a week of intensive usage last December getting his company's application to run against Amazon's SimpleDB cloud database, DreamFactory founder and CTO Bill Appleton wondered how big a bill he'd run up. To his amazement, what had seemed like a week's heavy usage had cost just a few cents....
The Microsoft-Yahoo deal implosion was a near certainty when the talks began. Two cultures as convinced that they are superior to one another can never coexist, so forget blaming anyone for what was inevitable. At least it didn't take two years and billions of dollars in real losses, as compared...
