Open Source Clouds On The Rise

,----[ Quote ]
| Cloud computing has the potential to 
| transform how government agencies tap into 
| IT services, and open source is an 
| underlying technology in several of the 
| early government clouds that have been 
| developed.
| 
| We have yet to see the federal government 
| issue a position on open source clouds, but 
| it's clear that agencies have a green light 
| to move ahead with open source and cloud 
| computing. It's only a matter of time 
| before these two trends come together in 
| the form of open source clouds.

| developers to work with the company to 
| advance new features.

WCM Field Notes: Give Open Source A Chance

| There seems to be a lot of fear, 
| uncertainty and doubt surrounding open 
| source content management these days. Last 
| week, I was fortunate enough to be asked to 
| speak at a British Computer Society Open 
| Source event but was rather surprised by 
| the lack of agreement about Open Source 
| Software (OSS).

Microsoft Should Kill Internet Explorer

,----[ Quote ]
| It's time for Microsoft to kill Internet
| Explorer. It has to be done quickly, before
| it's too late to rebound. The browser is
| bleeding market share in a way that a new
| version alone cannot stop. It's time for the
| company to rethink the browser and come at it
| from a fresh perspective. Microsoft needs a
| new browser, not a new version of an existing
| one.
