What's in a name in open source?

What’s in a name in open source?

By Mårten Mickos on October 16, 2014

What does community mean to you?
Community is an overloaded word, it can mean anything. Community can mean just people who use your product. Or maybe it’s those who build your product, or maybe it’s the business partners who are using it. Or maybe it’s…

Where is the Shazam for Enterprise Mobile Apps?

Where is the Shazam for Enterprise Mobile Apps?

By Quinton Wall on March 27, 2014

Music is a big part of my life. I own too many guitars for my own good, and love discovering new music. One of my favorite apps for discovery is Shazam. With so much focus on how to build amazing mobile apps it’s really hard to go past Shazam. As we see the demand for […]

To App or Not To App?

To App or Not To App?

By Brian Denten on October 28, 2013

Building a dedicated mobile app for a business is all the rage right now, and often with good reason. As Apple’s App Store, Android’s Play Store, and Microsoft’s Windows Market continue to see explosive growth after a half decade of revolutionizing digital development and distribution, it can be very tempting to use the platforms to […]

Microsoft and Me

By Dave Michels on June 20, 2013

Regarding desktops, tablets, and smartphones – I am considering going pure Microsoft. That will mean two new mobile devices, and then switching to IE and Office 365. I will lose apps on my mobile devices and hinder my path to WebRTC. It will be a difficult transition. Why? It really boils down to two frustrations. […]

Yes, Android is winning (at least by what Google cares about)

Yes, Android is winning (at least by what Google cares about)

By Chris Yeh on May 28, 2013

John Kirk recently took issue with the spate of stories about Android’s increasing share of the smartphone market.  In his polemic, “Android’s Market Share Is Literally A Joke“, he argues that Apple is actually winning the smartphone battle because it has a majority of the profits: “Not only do the high priests of market share […]

The Googrilla Grows

By Dave Michels on May 3, 2013

I recently published the Googrilla in the Midst which posits that the influence and impact of Google Apps is largely underappreciated and untapped by the UC community. We are reasonably confident that the cloud in general, and Google Apps specifically, will continue to grow. We also are sure that UC and VoIP have a bright future and […]

Box Answers IT Concerns–Deeper Security Option Roll Out

Box Answers IT Concerns–Deeper Security Option Roll Out

By Ben Kepes on February 25, 2013

Just a couple of weeks ago I wrote about Dropbox releasing an entire swathe of new security functionality that sees it firmly mark itself as entering the corporate market and responding to the needs of IT. As I said at the time, Dropbox has long signaled an intention to move up the food chain. In […]

More Proof That Shadow IT is a Growing Issue

More Proof That Shadow IT is a Growing Issue

By Ben Kepes on January 31, 2013

When talking with organizations about how the cloud can help them, I’m often told that cloud has no place in their organization and they’re not using it in any way, shape or form. They also point to the perceived security risks that cloud brings as their #1 reason for not using any flavor of cloud. […]

Amazon Web Services Programming Tool Kits

Amazon Web Services Programming Tool Kits

By Dan Morrill on January 15, 2013

Amazon Web Services provides a number of Software Development Toolkits (SDK’s) that will help the programmer make the most of Amazons exposed APIs for the various services that they provide in the cloud. While the AWS (Amazon Web Services) console is good for day to day administration and control over the services you have set […]

Siri, You Don’t Say

By Guest Authors on December 17, 2012

Google slated Siri. Apple’s Siri and I have never gotten along. I don’t need a personal assistant with a sense of humor. I need a computer assistant that gives me answers. Siri gives enough backlash that it just isn’t fun to use…or usually does it answer my questions. It’s easy to poke at a new […]

Surface & iPad Collision Course

Surface & iPad Collision Course

By Adron Hall on November 19, 2012

Ok, I’d been looking around for a Surface I could try out. Even though I have my doubts about Windows 8 and especially RT I also am excited about a lot of the features that these operating system(s) have. But amid the parts that I hate and parts I hate, there is the simple fact […]

The Shifting Sands of SaaS Relationships. Here’s How to Handle It.

By Jason M. Lemkin on October 29, 2012

  I know why Steve Jobs was so very, very mad at Google and Eric Schmidt.  Why he pledged to go “thermonuclear”.  Why he vowed to spend up to $100 billion dollars (Apple’s cash) to “bury Google”.  It couldn’t have been about Android per se.  Google bought Android (the company) in 2005, a “software system for […]

And So Begins the End of this SaaS M&A Cycle

And So Begins the End of this SaaS M&A Cycle

By Jason M. Lemkin on October 25, 2012

… and hence the acquisition dies due to excessive capital requirements. It’s almost impossible to blend a profitable entity with a new acquisition that is burning tens of more millions per year, unless it’s a total make-the-company bet like Android.

Lowering Mobile Development Barriers to Entry

Lowering Mobile Development Barriers to Entry

By Ben Kepes on October 22, 2012

Icenium is today launching what would appear to be a very compelling proposition – an environment that enables cross platform mobile development that decouples development from a particular development environment, full suite of developer products and SDK. Icenium decouples the compilers from the platform and makes the SDKs available in

Apple iPhone 5 – Meh

Apple iPhone 5 – Meh

By Dave Michels on October 1, 2012

The iPhone 5 is breaking all iPhone sales records, another hit on their hands. Or not? I think it’s the beginning on long slide south for Apple. Yes, it is going to sell well. Very well. So why is Apple going to decline? Two very simple irrefutable reasons: What Goes Up Must Come Down, and […]
