did compellent bid?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:46:32 +0000

Since compellent is always talking about how they beat emc I wonder if they big on this? I would say not since they have made it clear to all partners they dont bid on any rfp unless they have been told up front they will win.

Please do it now!

It would be great if Murdoch Google access to News Corps content! Fewer people would be able to find it. In the end, News Corp would suffer more than Google.

Stand-alone? Really?

I don't have to install anything? Can I burn it to a CD or DVD as a Live disk? That is what would really be a true Stand-alone.

I disagree with this. My experience has proven both sleep and hibernate (in Windows) take away about 50% of the total system performance upon returning to the system. Again, my experience has proven, save you work, shut down. Unless you're literally going to use it within 5-10 minutes and only for 20-30 minutes.

Alternatives to MobileMe

As for me I use SyncMate. It is absolutely free (Contacts and iCal sync) and allows syncing my Mac with Windows Mobile, other Mac and PC. As far as I know SyncMate also supports Mac and Nokia S40, Sony PSP, Google account synchronization. You can find detailed information about SyncMate at their homepage http://www.sync-mac.com/syncmate-features.html

"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.

Microsoft Is Perfect Example Why Executive Pay Is Broken

Mitchell Ashley — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:34:27 +0000

Text message this morning from CNN: Unemployment hit 10.2% in October. Microsoft announced earlier this week another 800 employee layoffs to the 5,000 previously announced employee layoffs. If you look at Microsoft's financials you see why, a 14% revenue and 18% net income drop for the last reported quarter, on top of disappointing prior quarters. Read more

Proprietary? Not open?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:25:01 +0000

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.

Virtualbox

Virtualbox, free, so far for me runs better and has more features. On the other hand it doesn't come with a free license for XP. I'd love to see a review comparing the two -

Why not Full Disclosure?

Bloggers are now asked to disclose any compensation they might receive for their reviews/opinions... why not ask Gartner to disclose which MQ rated firms are customers?

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.
