Welcome to The Future: stop waiting for it to happen and start living it « Nietzsch E. Coyote

  • In Neuromancer by William Gibson, the book that introduced us to the word cyberspace, a character was killed for less RAM than is probably in your pocket right now.
  • In Star Trek, set in a reality where faster than light travel and teleportation are both possible, Captain Kirk walked around with a communicator that flipped open but was barely better than a transistor radio. You likely have a device in your pocket that allows you to talk to anyone in the world at any time. The only thing we are missing is that little sound his made when we flip our’s open.

  • When you look at putting government data on the Web, one of the concerns is … to not just put it out there on Excel files on Data.gov," he said. "You should put these things in" the Resource Description Framework.
  • Few Web site managers are trained in RDF, and not many Web development applications use the standard, Berners-Lee admitted. "I'm not sure we have a grasp of our needs for the next phase of products," he said. He implored the semantic Web community in the audience to educate and inspire their peers.

Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Microsoft Strategic Update 2009

Review of Microsoft Strategic Update 2009. Very interesting to get to know this giant's business. It's interesting to note that their revenue vs. market share are not always equivalent.

  • Microsoft is very clearly in the midst of an enormous push into consumer software solutions but its business sales remain its primary source of revenues. And from a mile-high view, all of Microsoft's IT-related businesses are profitable or highly profitable, with the exception of Windows Mobile, which Ballmer described as "somewhat unprofitable." Microsoft's consumer-oriented businesses, meanwhile, are doing notably poorly, almost across the board.
  • From a competition perspective, however, Windows has no real competition today beyond pirated copies of Windows. Even on netbooks, over 90 percent of installs are Windows. But Microsoft sees Linux being more competitive on the PC desktop going forward because it believes that Google will port its Android mobile OS to the PC.
