- Hands up who's tired of Twitter?
- While I didn't have time to reflect on the top management changes at Twitter last week, I'm not surprised. Jack Dorsey and Ev Williams have swapped seats for one reason: Jack's a code jock and Ev's the biz guy. Andy Beal almost nails it: Sure, it sounds amicable–which is...

- Red Hat buys Qumranet, adds gasoline to the spreading VDI bonfire
