Time for Handhelds to Get with the Program—Mono for Android, that is.In little more than a year, the Apple iPad has become king of the hill. And it is, dare I say, the new must-have in modern life. (Tell me something I don’t know, Richard.) Well, I’ll tell you this: Whenever you’re king of the hill, there’s always going to be someone trying to knock you [...] |

Will Hardware Become the Roadkill of Cloud Computing?According to some pessimists, computer hardware sales will soon be flatter than an armadillo in a crosswalk. They’ve already put high-performance servers on the Roadkill Café’s menu, right alongside rack of raccoon and smear of deer. Now hold on Jethro, let’s think ‘bout this. First, enterprises are investing in internal clouds as they prepare to [...] |

Exploring the Cloud Without Holding Your BreathI was watching one of those nature shows the other day on the Discovery Channel: Planet Earth Deep Oceans. The potential of the oceans is still largely untapped. Undiscovered creatures, Aquatic farming. Tidal- and wave-based power generation. It’s kind of like cloud computing today.

It may be time to call Microsoft’s golden boy out of retirement. In early December, I made my list of 10 predictions for 2011.

Hypervisors, Hyperbole and Cloud Service Integration.Remember all the noise over the past couple of years about which hypervisor you should be running? It seemed every virtualization vendor offered its own version, leaving many customers wondering which ones to put in their datacenters and on their IT roadmaps. Toward the end of 2010, I predicted that this year, “Talk of hypervisors [...] |

AT&T Will Dominate Cloud Computing—Without the Help of Ron PopeilRon Popeil is a marketing genius! The Veg-O-Matic, the Popeil Pocket Fisherman—and who can forget Mr. Microphone? I’ve heard more than one IT sales engineer borrow a catchphrase from this late-night pitchman: “Just set it and forget it.” So what does telcom behemoth AT&T and Mr. Popeil have in common?

Who’s Got Your Back? Novell Does.Remember your last run-in with the law? Okay, if you’re like me, it involved a great song on your car’s stereo and lack of oversight of the car’s speedometer. Well, when I was pulled over recently, two officers handled the traffic stop…with one taking the lead and the other staying well back and “at the [...] |

Fresh Weeds in the Walled GardenNot too long ago I predicted that in 2011, thirty percent of the devices connecting to enterprise networks would have been purchased directly by employees, not provisioned by the IT department. Now, after spending another weekend digesting another holiday feast and a suitcase-sized bundle of holiday retail advertising, I think my forecast may have been [...] |

From Darwin to Disters—The Winners Are…I have to admit, I’m a sucker for awards: the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys. My personal favorite, however, is the Darwin Awards—the only awards that are dedicated to chlorinating the gene pool.
