The latest wrinkle in the Prop. 8 whodunit blame game comes from FiveThirtyEight's adorkable Nate Silver, who breaks down the demographics on the California vote. "Certainly, the No on 8 folks might have done a better job of outreach to California's black and Latino communities. But the notion that Prop 8 passed because of the Obama turnout surge is silly", he claims. Instead, he says the numbers place the blame at the feet of older ...

Venus Williams closed the book on the 2008 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour tennis season by winning the season-ending Championships title on Sunday. The 2008 Wimbledon champion defeated Vera Zvonareva in the final match of the year in Doha, Qatar. Williams won her first Sony Ericsson Championships title in three sets 6-7(5), 6-0, 6-2. She is the first American to win the title since her sister Serena took the title in 2001. “It’s a fantastic feeling ...

Alessio Jacona pour Intruders TV a réalisé une interview de Tim O’Reilly à l’occasion de son passage à web2.0 expo à Berlin. Une interview très instructive et aussi d’actualité. En quelqes mots : Qu’est-ce que la crise économique va changer à notre industrie ? La crise permet aux startups qui ont un réel sens d’émerger et provoque la chute de celles qui n’en n’ont pas. Une sélection… Qu’est-ce que le Web 2.0 ? L’échange de ...

I dislike newspapers. I am sure I am not the only one, but I don’t need to have miserable news shouted at me every morning from headlines speaking of doom and gloom. I know that newspapers are in the business of making money, and I know that bad news, crisis and disaster always sells, but that doesn’t mean I have to partake of it willingly. There are times when I get so sick of the ...

Ever since I started AccMan I’ve held the view that this media is a way to build reputation and influence. It’s an essential part of marketing your skills and wares. It doesn’t have to be ‘in your face’ messaging but about the ability to tell a story that resonates with people. It’s been something I’ve [...]

Díky blog-mediálnímu partnerství s O’Reillyho konferencí Web 2.0 Expo v Berlíně (díky Adame!) se BuzzMagu naskytla jedinečná příležitost posezení u kulatého stolu, kterého se zůčastní jak Tim O’Reilly, tak “předsedové” konference Jennifer Pahlka a Brady Forrest. The Blogger Roundtable with Tim O’Reilly je svým způsobem tisková konference, věnovaná ovšem výhradně blogerům, kteří se účastnili evropské propagace konference. Pojďme k věci. Byl bych rád, kdybyste mi v komentářích zanechali plno zajímavých otázek na Tima O’Reillyho. Pokud ...

I just hate the word "killer" in a headline. It means the author is sensationalizing the potential outcome of a new product launch. Friend Feed was going to kill Twitter, Facebook was going to kill MySpace, Google Base was going to kill Craigslist. None of these things happened. Facebook's a juggernaut. Friend Feed might be. And Google Base is probably not. But new web services don't often kill existing web services, certainly not nearly as ...

By reducing your bookmarks to show only the icons, you can access more of them from the Bookmarks bar. This works great for sites with recognizable favicons like Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.

There's been a slow discussion in the VMware blogosphere about this, and if you haven't been following along: if you use NetApp NFS storage (or NFS in general), please review your settings, makes sure NFS.Lock.Disable = 0 (the default), you've applied the appropriate VI patches, and check out the best practices documents and kb articles linked in these blog posts.

I just finished reading through The Economist’s new 14-page special report on cloud computing, “Let It Rise” in which Ludwig Siegele provides an outstanding overview of cloud computing and why it is so important: The rise of the cloud is more than just another platform shift that gets geeks excited. It will undoubtedly transform the information technology (IT) industry, but it will also profoundly change the way people work and companies operate. It will allow ...Shared by Christopher (140) Costas (39)Contribute commentUgoTrade (11) permalink
I have just got back from attending two conferences in the UK, the Head Conference, and Virtual Worlds London. I was on a mission at both the events to ask questions about how Virtual World technology will answer the call Tim O’Reilly made at the Web 2.0 Expo in New York City to “create more value than you extract” and do something worthy and useful with the internet. The Head Conference was an ambitious, timely, ...Contribute comment
