OS Bridge Day #1: Hacking for Freedom

OS Bridge Day #1: Hacking for Freedom

By Adron Hall on June 21, 2011

Keynote: Hacking for Freedom

(Description of Hacking for Freedom)

Day #1 has kicked off with a bang. A keynote that really pulled at the heart strings for the love of freedom and liberty! The notion of technology being involved directly to those pushing for their freedom in other parts of the world is huge. Below I’ve snagged… read more…

WikiLeaks' Fundamental Hypocrisy

WikiLeaks’ Fundamental Hypocrisy

By Chris Yeh on December 16, 2010

Few subjects have been more in the news than WikiLeaks; few have been less understood (for example, WikiLeaks is not a wiki!).For a great profile of both WikiLeaks and its controversial leader, Julian Assange, I direct you to the New Yorker, which post…

Trust Is Key For Cloud Success And What Can We Do About It?

Trust Is Key For Cloud Success And What Can We Do About It?

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 13, 2010

All the public cloud providers demand one thing from their customers. They want their customers to trust them. Their entire business model is reliant on the idea of trust. It is easy for small and medium businesses to trust the public cloud providers because they lack the necessary financial muscle to build their own IT […]

Don't Take Sides, Take Issues (How To Think About Wikileaks)

Don’t Take Sides, Take Issues (How To Think About Wikileaks)

By Chris Yeh on December 8, 2010

Image via Wikipedia I’ve been following the Wikileaks saga with increasing interest, because it embodies a principle in which I firmly believe: Don’t take sides, take issues. People have asked if I’m pro-Wikileaks or anti-Wikileaks. One of my friends said she was anti-anti-Wikileaks. The problem with taking sides is that its rare that sides are […]

W​ikileaks & Amazon - and Why That Was Good for the Rest of Us.

W​ikileaks & Amazon – and Why That Was Good for the Rest of Us.

By Rodrigo Vaca on December 2, 2010

I​n his post about Amazon & Wikileaks, Krishnan’s position was that Amazon kicking out Wikileaks without a fair legal due process was in fact damaging for those of us who are proponents of the (public) cloud. Krishnan and I were debating this issue last night over Twitter. I disagreed with Krishnan, so I wanted to […]

Foxmarks, Xmarks, LastPass, Xpass, LastX, X%^&% Quick Rant

Foxmarks, Xmarks, LastPass, Xpass, LastX, X%^&% Quick Rant

By Zoli Erdos on December 2, 2010

Warning: I think I’m becoming a curmudgeon – except that title has until now been reserved for somebody else .   But I still have doubts about the recent transaction: LastPass acquired Xmarks. I really liked Xmarks – when it was Foxmarks.  A simple bookmark synchronization service that would keep your Firefox up-to-date no matter where […]

Wikileaks, Amazon And Public Clouds

Wikileaks, Amazon And Public Clouds

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 1, 2010

When Wikileaks released the documents from US State Department, it faced DDOS attacks from people who didn’t like what they were doing. To counter the DDOS attacks, Wikileaks moved to AWS for their hosting needs, a move touted by some in the Clouderati as a validation of public cloud computing. Today, the Wikileaks site is […]

Enterprise Cloud Computing And Wikileaks Saga

Enterprise Cloud Computing And Wikileaks Saga

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 29, 2010

In my previous post, I argued about how public clouds will eventually dominate the enterprise IT scene though better economics. I also pointed out that it is not going to happen anytime sooner because of concerns about security and compliance. Many of the public cloud advocates dismiss such enterprise concerns immediately and some even want […]

A Whiter Shade of Pale by Apple (Leaky iPhone and More)

A Whiter Shade of Pale by Apple (Leaky iPhone and More)

By Zoli Erdos on July 28, 2010

This is the Week of Leaks: first and foremost Wikileaks, and now the iPhone Leak.  No, I’m not talking about the disappearing signal (aren’t we bored of the iPhone antenna stories yet?), this is leaking white light as reported by TheStreet.com: Apparently, the back light from the iPhone display screen is leaking out around the […]
