"What then does open computing mean to governments - and what might it be worth considering when specifying requirements? Simply put – adopt open standards to avoid being locked-in to any one IT vendor, ensure the software you use fully implements these open standards, and consider open source alongside closed source software based on functionality, proven maturity, availability and cost of support, and value for money."

"The Department of Energy will be pushing out $4.5 billion for smart grid investments as part of the federal government's economic stimulus plan, but unless smart-grid standards are developed quickly, the government risks wasting its money on soon-obsolete technologies that could be incompatible with one another, regulators and industry representatives warned Congress Tuesday."

Creativity versus standards in the user interface |Strategic Developer | Martin Heller | InfoWorld
"It's all very well to be really creative and "think outside the box" (gag) if what you're designing is intended to be a puzzle: a good example of that is J.K. Rowling's home page. On the other hand, creativity for its own sake just confuses users. I can think of dozens, perhaps hundreds of examples of user interfaces done badly for the simple reason that the designer decided that it would be cooler to have some spiffy art and effects than to follow any standards."

Cloud Connect - Home
"Join us for Cloud Connect: the premier technology event for defining, framing, developing, and transitioning your IT portfolio into the cloud. As organizations consider cloud computing to process their business’ critical data, it is imperative they understand the platforms, applications and risks of moving traditional information out of the corporate data center and into the cloud.

"The biggest change in JavaScript 2's direction is that the ECMAScript 4 project has been dropped. That change resolves a long-simmering debate as to whether ECMAScript 3.1 or ECMAScript 4 should be the basis of JavaScript 2.
