In one of my earlier posts I had stated as to how SUN is getting ready to empower the Web 2.0 revolution. Its clear that there is a revolution of some sorts waiting to happen. When the internet was born, only a few would have thought that it would outdo every other medium on earth. Communication, entertainment, business all have integrated their products with applications, that help users connect to the internet. The Web 2.0 revolution is already here with new hardware, more bandwidth, and improved applications. GMAIL, I must say is the Web 2.0, web based free email service. The X6400 is the Web 2.0 web server.
When we talk of applications, we must of talk about the code used to build it. (more…)

Other IEEE cells haven’t responded and seem to be gripped by the exam fever which will end by June 12.

Chapter Meetings, India, Mumbai SCGCall it the Cause & Effect story or the Chicken & Hen syndrome, we have a competing product for the Magic Quadrant and it’s called………hold your breath …..the Forrester Wave (did I hear clapping sound 
).
Ahem….I would not be the right person to comment on who copied who. According to Forrester Website, http://www.forrester.com/wave
” One of your biggest challenges is evaluating and selecting vendor products and services. That’s why we created the Forrester Wave — our call on a particular market or technology. Whether you’re investing in application server platforms or content management providers, the Forrester Wave makes it easy for you to make well-informed decisions. (more…)
Information TechnologyDuring one of the conference in Mumbai, I was surprised to see every major vendor using the Gartner’s Magic Quadrant in their presentation. I was both embarassed and annoyed at my lack of information about this important concept released by Gartner.

It was an interesting article authored by the SUN CEO Jonathan Schwartz in the Sun Boardroom newsletter that I receive every month.

Although its quite a simple math that he’s illustrated, its a good thought. Also to note is the marketing strategy he’s used this for, to sell tapes. He also projects tapes as environmental friendly storage devices, since unlike hard-disks they do not consume power when unused. HDD needs to be spinning all the time.
Well a few things to learn from Jonathon, on starting new debates which can create fresh demands for you old products.
