Recalls

"Retailers currently receive a number of notices from a number of different sources,” said Tim White

Further down:

“These things will happen because manufacturers and retailers are sourcing products from around the world,” she said. “So in case something does happen, we need to have a system that works, a system that’s fast, a system that allows retailers and suppliers to take product off the shelf.”

Absolutely Correct. I could not agree more.

But barcodes are ABSOLUTELY not the answer! The recent Peanut Butter recall was a prime example.

So if FTC's case is more about the future, does this mean that Intel is err, suspected of some nasty dealings in its feeble attempts to steal some of ARM's market? One has to wonder whatever got into Nokia to use Atom for a MID.

Proprietary? Not open?

People who don't understand should keep quiet. The only "proprietary" element in this enitre architecture is the blade servers themselves, but as mentioned - that's the same with ALL vendors (HP, IBM, Dell, etc.) Saying VMWare (supporting dozens of OS's) and EMC (supporting ALL industry procotocls from FC to FCOE) and saying IP all being "Not open" is obviously wrong.

This is an architecture, NOT a product. IMHO this is a perfect hybrid of "best of breed" (Cisco, EMC, VMware) products coming together to build an architecture and a "single throat to choke" approach.

For the record

I think it's important to point out that John Mucci was the founding CEO of SiCortex. He was the "grownup" who brought management credibility and an incredible HPC rolodex, without which Matt and I would have been a couple of geeks in the wilderness.
