There’s no doubt that VMware is still the top virtualization player, but the upcoming Q4 2008 will highlight in a crystal clear way that it’s no more the only player available. The landscape is being reshaped by several major vendors trying to erode the VMware leadership with different strategies: Citrix is targeting the enterprises with a comprehensive product portfolio for application delivery and highly specific features: the Xen-based hypervisor (XenServer), the management layer (XenCenter), the ...

La semana pasada se confirmó el cierre del San Juan Star. Dado que es la única publicación diaria en inglés de Puerto Rico, ¿qué quiere decir acerca de los medios publicitarios en la isla? Hay más puertorriqueños que nunca, de seguro más que hablan inglés, pero el periódico no pudo mantener su vigencia. ¿La calidad del reportaje empeoró (difícil, lo se) o es que el modelo que siguen las publicaciones impresas ya no sirve en ...

Many of you are aware that my favorite independent coffee shop closed about a month ago. Since then I'm having a hard time finding a good place to work from when I don't go into the office. I've tried another local coffee shop that is just too small and uncomfortable to work from. I've tried 2 different Starbucks that have very poor reception for my AT&T air card so VPN is out of the question. ...

The speech was the easy part. But she did it well. Delivering the most anticipated vice presidential acceptance speech in modern political history, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin accomplished the mission. She talked family, biography, policy, and John McCain. Especially John McCain the POW. And--Democrats beware--she demonstrated she's handy with a rhetorical stiletto and can slice Barack Obama and Joe Biden while flashing a stylish smile. The 44-year-old Palin did not wipe out questions about her ...

Over the last 5 years or so with the pronounced emergence of inexpensive multi-core COTS compute platforms and the rabid evangelism of virtualization, I have debated many times with folks who continue to suggest that "big iron" -- high performance equipment in the compute, network, security and storage domains -- is now "extinct" and that nobody buys bespoke equipment any more. Many of them argued "All you need is a COTS PC, package up OS/Applications ...

Cory Doctorow wanted a secret decoder wedding ring, and he asked me to help design it. I wanted something more than the standard secret decoder ring, so this is what I asked for: "I want each wheel to be the alphabet, with each letter having either a dot above, a dot below, or no dot at all. The first wheel should have alternating above, none, below. The second wheel should be the repeating sequence of ...

Photos by Donna Nothing wrong and everything right with the common pairing of tomato, basil and mozzerella. Mid-week lunch, with some whole wheat garlic toast (thanks for the On the Rise bread, Heidi--and nice headshot! and gorgeous bread salad with cherry tomato vinaigrette!). Because we've had such abundant garlic, I fried big chunks of it in olive oil and spooned the hot garlic and oil over the basil and tomatoes. Handful of basil leaves, three ...

A chart from Wired in 2005 shows how Star Wars influenced the later development of movies, games, TV programs, and the like. The Star Wars empire has grown into one of the most fertile incubators of talent in the worlds of movies (Lucasfilm), visual effects (Industrial Light & Magic), sound (Skywalker Sound), and video games (LucasArts). Along the way, some of the original Lucas crew has gone on to become his biggest competitors. The Flash ...

Amidst wild rumors for Dark Knight 3's casting process (think Cher as Catwoman), actor Aaron "Two Face" Eckhart gave us some bat-closure on a few of the many bat-rumors. So are we going to see the former Gotham City DA's pretty deformed mug again? Dark Knight spoilers ahead. In a press conference Eckard was doing for Towelhead, the press tried to squeeze out a denial from the actor about whether his Dark Knight character is ...
