1. Only $4 Billion. A valuation plenty of publicly traded companies would love to have. - Dave   - 11/12/2008
2. Only? I think $4BB for a company that burns through money faster than the US Mint's de-circulation department is pretty nice... - Matt   - 11/12/2008
3. Was a joke. It's still a huge valuation. - Dave   - 11/12/2008

1. Didn't IBM sell their consumer hardware business to Lenova a while back? Maybe they compete in the server market where IBM has fantastic products. But for the most part, these days IBM is a services company. - Dave   - 11/08/2008
2. ok.. sure, the "never has" aspect is arguable... but the reality is that IBM in it's current state (the state pointed out by Dave) does NOT compete with Apple... the two companies could not be more different. although, be warned, this headline is pretty much link bait because the "story" is not new, it's 25 years old... so don't expect Paczkowski to bring you any dirt this time around... just another pathetic swipe at a deal that gives Papermaster a position he is not only very qualified for but has obviously earned... if IBM wanted to keep him so bad they should have made sure he was in a position that he would never want to leave... you treat your employees badly and they will leave you, the end. Even if he had left IBM for a direct competitor I would say the same thing. Boo-hoo for IBM. - Matt   - 11/08/2008

1. Holy cow. 17 terabits per seconds. Pretty exciting to think about the kinds of services that could be pushed through that kind of bandwidth - Dave   - 11/06/2008
2. Very impressive... Corning sure has set itself up to become a big player in the future of the net... then again, we knew this would be the case mid last year when they announced their ability to create a fiber optic that could turn corners... (this, of course, being what makes Verizon's FiOS service possible.) - Matt   - 11/06/2008

1. Yo Dave, how many years do I have left on our bet? - Matt   - 10/27/2008
2. When it goes beyond service-based and becomes application-based, can support power apps on a mass scale - then we'll talk. For now though, the jury is out. - Dave   - 10/27/2008

1. Probably. These prices are out the roof. This is what happens when there is no competition. Once Adobe gobbled up Macromedia, it was all down hill. I'm sure the software is still great, but there isn't any competition to force competitive pricing into the market. - Dave   - 10/27/2008
2. What does Adobe do in a down market? Raise prices hellishly!! Genius... I guess there is hope for Silverlight after all. (Could Adobe possibly make any stupider a move, especially after the crap-fest Player 10 has been the last week or so?)
   
   Curtiss nails it in the post... he asks: "Do you think that this pricing structure is a result of the massive software pirating that occurs with Adobe's products, or is it possible that it's the other way around?" ... Great point. - Matt   - 10/27/2008

1. The news feed is driven by RSS. Without it, you don't have a newsfeed. People have to stop comparing the two as if they are against one other. One drives the other. The news feeds, activity streams, etc. are great tools. I definitely agree that they bring enormous value to the table. But the constant comparing that one will replace the other has to stop. RSS is the fuel that drives all this great stuff. - Dave   - 10/22/2008
2. right... the "newsfeed"s and or "lifestream"s are, for the most part, alternative "feed readers"... and that's just one way to look at RSS besides "reader based subscription"... this author continues to disconnect the two... not sure if he doesn't realize that this simple syntax is the backbone of so many of the things he hails as better, or if he just willingly wants to sensationalize Forrester's research... ( see also: http://www.shyftr.com/item/?id=12237936 )
   
   p.s. why does this all have to be RSS? There is a percentage of feeds that are ATOM... People should be saying "Feeds" as opposed to "RSS"... but now I'm just nitpicking... - Matt   - 10/22/2008
