Avoiding lock-in in the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| The applications that are built on top of a particular vendor's
| infrastructure are locked into that provider's way of doing things. I always
| expect the cloud to be about freedom from vendor control--much like how open
| source gives control to the users.

Google learns to crawl Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, web designers faced challenges if they chose to develop a site
| in Flash because the content they included was not indexable by search
| engines. They needed to make extra effort to ensure that their content was
| also presented in another way that search engines could find.

SaaS, Open Source and the Migration of Burden
,----[ Quote ]
| Just the week before I had a reporter ask me how Linux is going to deal with
| the threat of cloud computing. The threat? I told her that virtually all of
| the major cloud computing initiatives (except Microsoft’s) are built on
| Linux. (There is a potential displacement there for Linux distribution
| vendors but that’s another topic.) Linux as a platform is the enabling
| backbone of software as a service and cloud computing.

Open source a no-brainer for SaaS providers
,----[ Quote ]
| To keep costs low they have to optimize infrastructure, and open source is
| the best option to do that, according to Natis.
|
| But for open-source vendors, the SaaS trend isn't all good news.
|
| In next couple of years SaaS providers will also challenge open-source
| vendors, and become the preferred method for lowering IT costs.
