SOA & Web Services Most Discussed Posts

I really like Linux, but why is it so hard to find documentation on removing it and why is it so hard to actually do it?

Last week, Computerworld reported that Chrome's market share has slipped again - now fighting for a fourth spot with the Opera browser. That means IE, Firefox, and Safari are trudging on the fledgling Google browser, which has just a .7 market share, according to Net Applications. I think the browser has now almost become inconsequential, a bright blip that has faded faster than my summer tan.

SaaS is wonderful. SaaS is great. But software as a service is killing IT jobs.

The companies say that this new business Linux desktop will offer a 50% savings over Windows 7 while running on existing hardware.

If you still think Ubuntu is just this cute little Linux for Linux fans, boy do you have a surprise waiting for you in Ubuntu Server 9.04.

As an IT Manager by day, I am tasked with evaluating software that can help our company be more productive. The company is a 60 person creative agency that has a footprint on 3 continents. Overall we are run very well but we could be more efficient with the proper software. I am not talking about Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Suite here.

We don't need al-Qaeda to blow us up. We are perfectly capable of lighting the fuse ourselves, courtesy of our inability to share information vertically and bilaterally.

Google fouled up its own network, so would you trust them, or anyone else, with your applications.

Google has several good reasons to create a Web browser of its own, but they don't include killing off Internet Explorer or Firefox. Microsoft, however, does have reason to worry. Big ones.

Ubuntu's always been popular with users, but not so much with server managers. Now, with Wikipedia moving from a hodge-podge of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS that may be changing.

All credit to CrossOver for its WINE-based version of the hot Chrome Web browser for Linux and Mac OS, but, come on Google, how's about giving us the real thing?

If you believe Microsoft, an independent study by ClickStream Technologies found Microsoft Office, to be far more popular than OpenOffice.org, which in turn was far more popular than Google Docs. What Microsoft doesn't mention is that ClickStream is headed by Microsoft's former head of Microsoft Office research. Very independent, eh?

Google Gears is the Internet driven email replication service that owes its heritage to, among others, Ray Ozzie and Lotus Notes

If you thought Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie's announcement at the Mix conference that the company has ″decided to make our most current standards-based mode the default″ in the new beta of Internet Explorer 8 was curious, you're half-right. It was more than that. It was a major tipping point.

The idea of working with online apps rather with locally-installed software is no longer revolutionary. In fact, it's slowly becoming a fact of life -- so much so, that it may not be long before you won't have much of a choice as to whether you work online or not.
