Linux: We Now Build Mini ITX Systems with Linux Installed
,----[ Quote ]
| I am proud to announce that here at ERA
| Computers & Consulting (ERACC) we have
| researched the parts needed to build Mini
| ITX, Tiny PC, systems and are offering a
| quote option on our sales site. Each of these
| Tiny PC systems is built to end-user
| specification. We build these with or without
| a hard drive and with or without an operating
| system.

It's All in the Execution
,----[ Quote ]
| It's a good lesson for anyone who has
| customers. The first step is figuring out
| who are your customers? When you're
| Microsoft it's not end-users, but everyone
| upstream: corporate buyers, resellers, and
| OEM shops. Actual users are little more
| than unavoidable nuisances. Microsoft
| salespeople and marketers cater strictly to
| the folks who sign the big checks. Their
| retail marketing is so awful it can't
| possibly be effective, but even if it is
| the folks who sign the checks to Microsoft
| are not individual retail customers, but
| the stores they buy from. In any business
| with this disconnect between purchaser and
| user, the user goes to the end of the
| customer service line.
|
| When you're a FOSS developer your customers
| are other developers who want to use or
| contribute to your code, and end users. It
| can get even more complicated as artists,
| documentation writers, distributors, bug
| finders, testers, and corporate
| contributors all want to get involved with
| your project. It can be overwhelming, but
| at least everyone has a direct stake in the
| health and success of your project.

| "We have to have a point of view on the
| industry and technology direction two years,
| three years down the road, so we continuously
| work with Google on this," Amit Midha, Dell's
| president for Greater China and South Asia
| told Reuters in an interview.
|
| "There are going to be unique innovations
| coming up in the marketplace in two, three
| years, with a new form of computing, we want
| to be on that forefront ... So with Chrome or
| Android or anything like that we want to be
| one of the leaders," Midha said, adding that
| there were no firm announcements to be made
| but talks were underway.
