Facing Web 2.0 Fear in the Enterprise
,----[ Quote ]
| The scary part of Web 2.0 is that it infringes on the historical IT control
| and power. That creates problems in a modern knowledge-based
| environment. "Part of the job of a CIO is to create policies that prevent
| artificial pockets of power based on secrets and individuals exploiting power
| and not sharing it," said JP Rangaswami CIO of global services at BT.

OpenLaszlo and the iPhone
,----[ Quote ]
| Which raises the issue: what about using OpenLaszlo to develop for the
| iPhone? Well, in some ways this is a very natural fit. Besides enabling the
| style of UI that the iPhone has embraced, OpenLaszlo 4 works very, very well
| with the Safari 3 (desktop) browser, and does not require Flash or Java to
| deliver rich applications — which is great, since the iPhone has neither
| Flash nor Java.

No need to download and install software either. Many of the same applications
are available to Linux devices with a decent Web browser.

After the Desktop -- What?
,----[ Quote ]
| I would suggest that the open source community should stop obsessing
| with the battle for the desktop, and start focusing on the battle for
| the platform that will replace it. As I have said before, the day
| will soon come when the notion of having to go to a particular
| machine on a particular room every time you need access to
| information or computer power will be as obsolete as the notion
| of having to go to the hand pump over the well in the front
| yard every time you need water.
