"But designed correctly, he said, every rack in a cloud system looks exactly the same. A proper cloud environment has few vendors and standard systems. Why should a modern IT shop need a heavy duty inventory management system for a cloud infrastructure if the components are the same? Yet Bias has seen IBM CloudBurst proposals that include this product and many more pieces of Tivoli software. “They are trying to move sunk costs in enterprise software to the cloud, but it won’t work, ” Bias said." - LEAKED: AOL's Master Plan

"Android has made some incredible headway into this still-new market—with volumes growing 2,000 percent sequentially—even if Apple’s iPad is still on top with a 75 percent market share." - So Much For Apple's Flirtation With Openness

Tablet pricing is weird: "I really don't understand this at all. According to iSuppli[1], Apple pays $229.35 in parts and labor to make the low-end iPad. They develop their own operating system, buy incredible amounts of ads, and yet they still have massive profit margins selling iPads for $500. Meanwhile, Motorola and Samsung and other manufacturers get a free operating system and get cellphone carriers to give them a bunch of money to sell the device with a data plan. Yet their devices are $600-$1000, they often have smaller screens, and are (probably) loaded up with crapware. I fail to see why anyone would ever buy something like this, and I fail to see why anyone thinks someone will buy one." - Nimsoft Sees Expanding Market Adoption for Cloud Based IT Monitoring
