HTML5, The Enterprise Software Lingua Franca

HTML5, The Enterprise Software Lingua Franca

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 1, 2011

This week not only showed the world that enterprise software can be sexy but also made it clear HTML5 is the right outfit for the sexiness. With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, we are seeing the emergence of a new trend in the enterprise, employees bringing their own device and IT warmly embracing this […]

Motorola Takes Us a Step Closer to Personal Computing Nirvana–and it’s Not Even a Computer

Motorola Takes Us a Step Closer to Personal Computing Nirvana–and it’s Not Even a Computer

By Zoli Erdos on January 8, 2011

It took five years, but the personal computing nirvana vision I first heard from Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu is becoming reality. The concept that I discussed in The Cell-Phone Aware PC May Be a PC-less PC, and other posts is simple.  Instead of a plethora of situational devices with redundant computing capacity, carry around just […]

Google Docs, Why 90% of Users Should Migrate Yesterday

Google Docs, Why 90% of Users Should Migrate Yesterday

By Adron Hall on December 29, 2010

Google Docs That video alone pretty much says it all.  It isn’t about the word processor, or the device, it’s just about writing what you want when you want and how you want.  The old legacy mindset of an installed word processor is a bit feeble these days.  Especially considering the integrity of Google Docs […]

Google Docs Editing: My iPad Just Got More Useful

Google Docs Editing: My iPad Just Got More Useful

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 17, 2010

Today Google announced that document editing is now supported on your mobile browser. This means that we can now edit documents from iOS and Android devices. This move made my iPad more useful in my personal and professional lives. As I told in my Sliderocket post yesterday, we are seeing an increase in the use […]

Mobilize 2010: Revisiting Web Apps - Native Apps Debate

Mobilize 2010: Revisiting Web Apps – Native Apps Debate

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 1, 2010

Yesterday, at Mobilize 2010, a conference organized by GigaOm on mobile technologies, there was a panel discussion on “Apps Vs Web: The Fight For The Future”, moderated by Dr. Phil Hendricks. They had panelists from both sides of the debate and it was one of the interesting panels based on my interests. Basically, the panelists […]

Google Push Notification For iPhone: Does It Matter For iPhone Users?

Google Push Notification For iPhone: Does It Matter For iPhone Users?

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 24, 2010

Google yesterday updated its Google Mobile app by adding push notifications for Gmail and Google Calendar. The idea is to notify the users about new mail or calendar events through push notifications on top of Google Mobile app and when the users click to view them, they will be taken to the web interface of Gmail […]

Microsoft Word is Desktop Software. Supposedly. Then Why Does it Fail to Load Offline?

Microsoft Word is Desktop Software. Supposedly. Then Why Does it Fail to Load Offline?

By Zoli Erdos on August 3, 2010

Dave Michels’ recent post, I thought I Was So Cloud resonated well with me, since I’m experiencing the same pain regularly, even without the dramatic experience of a cashed harddisk.   I’m now using 4 computers, not counting the iPad, and like Dave, “I am so Cloud”, so moving between them should be seamless. It almost […]

Universal, Actionable Search: Zoho’s Improved Answer to “Where’s My Stuff?”

Universal, Actionable Search: Zoho’s Improved Answer to “Where’s My Stuff?”

By Zoli Erdos on June 1, 2010

Search, Don’t Organize – is the Google mantra, meaning we should stop wasting time filing away information in folders, sorting, labeling it for later retrieval, when it’s so much easier to search / find it. That is, if you know where to search. Did you discuss that project in email?  Or was it a Document?  […]

The Cloud through an App Lens

The Cloud through an App Lens

By Guest Authors on April 7, 2010

It’s clear that whatever success the iPad has (and I’m on record as saying I think it will be huge), that success is enabled by “the cloud.” There is no future for a device like the iPad were it not for the ability of people to store, access, download and upload to “the cloud.” Furthermore, […]

Presentations: a Counterpoint. Think Creation, Not Just Delivery

By Zoli Erdos on September 21, 2009

We’ve often stated there is no such thing as the “CloudAve View”, only the views of individual authors, and we encourage debate even within our own team.  The one thing we all agree in is that debate is good.  In that spirit I offer some counterpoints to Ben’s post: Presentations… And Re-Inventing the Wheel Please […]

What I Expect From MS Office Web

By Zoli Erdos on July 13, 2009

I have zero interest in Microsoft Office 2010, the PC product. The last Office I bought was 2003, and I don’t need more: done installing and forever updating bloatware on several computers just to keep productive.  Yet I am watching the Office 2010 related news this morning, for what it means to Web-based computing.  The […]

Tapping The Clouds For Mobile Nirvana

Tapping The Clouds For Mobile Nirvana

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 9, 2009

One of the many reasons for the success of SaaS in the desktop world is that it frees users from the restrictions put on by the OS vendors. Whether it is Apple’s OSX or Microsoft’s Windows OS, there are some inherent restrictions imposed on both the users and developers due to the proprietary nature of these operating systems. The […]

Screen Size: The Next Plan to Cripple Netbooks in Order to Protect a Dying Market

Screen Size: The Next Plan to Cripple Netbooks in Order to Protect a Dying Market

By Zoli Erdos on May 26, 2009

The proliferation of affordable netbooks is good for everyone – consumers, that is.  Computer manufacturers loath it (high volume, low margin business) and so does Microsoft: they can’t exactly sell $100+ worth of software on a $200 machine.  So they come up with all sorts of evil plans. First there was the Windows 7 plan: […]

Microsoft’s About-Face on Windows 7: Three-App Limit on Netbooks (Perhaps) Removed

Microsoft’s About-Face on Windows 7: Three-App Limit on Netbooks (Perhaps) Removed

By Zoli Erdos on May 22, 2009

A few months ago I predicted Microsoft would be facing lawsuits due to the 3-app limitation of Windows 7 Starter Edition, or more precisely due to less than full disclosure on sales of netbooks crippled by Win7.  The Wall Street Journal did not go as far as lawsuits, but it called it a big gamble:  […]
