Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch :: Opening, Setup and Failure

Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch :: Opening, Setup and Failure

By Adron Hall on July 5, 2013

Yesterday I received my X1 Carbon Touch from Amazon. First part of this whole adventure is that I sent it to my old address in one part of town so that led to a little sleuth action to track it down. After a short bike ride up the street I arrived and the office staff …

Microsoft’s Cloud OS Play–A Logical Converged Cloud Offering

Microsoft’s Cloud OS Play–A Logical Converged Cloud Offering

By Ben Kepes on January 25, 2013

A week or two ago, Microsoft made a slew of announcements all aimed at creating a consistent story around hybrid cloud services.

Thor Project Opens Up, Building the Cloud Foundry Ecosystem with the Community

By Adron Hall on September 17, 2012

Sometimes we’re heavy on the .NET, other times we’re all up in some Java, Ruby on Rails, spooling up a Node.js Application or something else. So …

WorldDesk and DropBox Make a Truly Virtual Desktop

By Ben Kepes on February 14, 2012

A few days ago a little battle raged around what the launch of Google’s GDrive product might mean for DropBox. At the time fellow Cloud watcher Alex Williams commented that DropBox has a lot of magic that would save its day – I wasn’t so sure but it’s nonetheless interesting

Microsoft Killed the Netbook – not the Tablet

Microsoft Killed the Netbook – not the Tablet

By Dave Michels on December 19, 2011

What we have here is a case of the victors writing the history book. We learned recently that Dell decided to discontinue selling Netbooks. Netbooks? You remember them – the small, inexpensive notebook-like computers with a lightweight operating system. They came in a few different flavors of Windows and Linux. They were the rage a […]

Did Apple finally get hitched?

Did Apple finally get hitched?

By Martijn Linssen on October 25, 2011

Big News on Day #3 of OS Bridge

By Adron Hall on June 23, 2011

Microsoft announced today that they’ll be supporting an effort to get Node.js working on Windows. Mary Foley picked it up quick, but also so did Node creator Ryan Dhal.
