Yes, we need an open App Store standard
,----[ Quote ]
| As enterprise platform vendors, at the operating system, middleware and
| application levels, begin to expand their App Store capabilities, the wrong
| path forward will be for each vendor to invest in building the store platform
| themselves. The App Store isn’t going to be differentiating technology, so
| why invest in it individually? A better approach is for one of these vendors
| to open source their existing store platform code, with the goal of building
| open standards based on that implementation. Then the cost of maintaining
| and evolving the App Store platform code would be shared across multiple
| vendors.

Is betting on the "MySQL mass market for data warehousing" a good idea?
,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line is that I've having doubts about whether there really is a
| MySQL data warehousing mass market. I know this blog is still very young and
| does not have many readers, so there are unlikely to be any comments, but if
| you do have thoughts on this subject, I'd be interested to hear them.

Palm request for app store advice opens floodgate
,----[ Quote ]
| Andrew Shebanow didn't imagine that asking for feedback about how Palm Inc.'s
| app store should work would open up a flood of input. He also didn't expect
| the move would change his job description. But now both have happened.
|
| On Jan. 8, Shebanow, who is working on a third-party application distribution
| system for Palm's new operating system, posted an item on his blog looking
| for input from developers on how that system should work. He threw out a few
| questions, such as: How should application updating and installation work?
| Should Palm offer payment processing or leave it to third parties? Should
| application trials be available? How should Palm handle featured
| applications?
|
| By Wednesday, he had removed the post, replacing it with one saying that its
| popularity had caught him and Palm by surprise. "My boss has asked me to hide
| the post while management decides what they want me to do about it," he
| wrote.
