Monkcast #10: One day, they'll grow fruit with bar codes on the skin & Yeah! Socialtext

Monkcast #8: Goodbye Zimbra, Hello Google Apps (for RedMonk)

Although we took a circuitous route to get there, the bulk of this week's discussion had to do with RedMonk's migration off Zimbra to Google Apps (a process that was apparently managed by RedMonk's Stephen O'Grady who, ironically, wasn't present for the podcast). But before we found our way...

MonkCast #7: GPLv3 Day is here, Web APIs (good for business?) & nary an iPhone mention

OK, so the iPhone was mentioned twice, but in very fleeting moments without any substance whatsoever (it could just have well not been mentioned at all and this week's MonkCast would have been no different).  It was refreshing to talk about industry events other than the iPhone and today's MonkCast...

MonkCast #3: Will the day come when 'no IT pro ever gets fired for buying Google?'

In the 70's and 80's, one of the most famous cliche's for IT professionals was "No one ever got fired for buying IBM." Eventually, the same could be said for Microsoft. Two days ago however, given how pretty much none of Google's applications could work unless Internet connectivity was...

Monkcast #2: IBM retrenches around SOA. Are XML Web services a 'virtual' sub for ActiveX?
