- Oracle offers sourcing software as a service | InfoWorld | News | 2009-03-09 | By Chris Kanaracus, IDG News Service
"The software allows various parties involved in the sourcing process to collaborate on decisions, ensuring the best deals are struck, Oracle said. It also "meets the highest security standards," includes packaged integrations with applications like Oracle Purchasing, and provides standard tech support as well as a help desk. Pricing information wasn't immediately available."
- Adapting Legacy Applications to Multicore Servers by Wall Street & Technology
"The catch is that as firms roll out the new servers, including the current quad-core servers, they won't see performance improvements for their legacy single-threaded programs — unless they do some finessing. Fortunately the chip manufacturers — as well as grid, virtualization and multi-thread software vendors — all have jumped in to offer solutions to this problem, and Wall Street firms, including brokerage AVM, already have begun exploring these options." Here's the deal: multi-core is great, more horse-power. Most applications, enterprise and other, are geared to run single-core, though, and fixing them up to take advantage of multi-core ain't easy or cheap.
- Social networking and blogs more popular than email • The Register
"Facebook's greatest reach is in the UK, with 47 per cent of Britons online using the site, the study claims. Facebook's stake of users is also greater in both Italy (44 per cent) and Australia (38 per cent) than in its native US (33 per cent.)"

- The Google OS is coming by year's end
"I put it to you: If you were in charge of a computer company in a lousy market, and one of your choices was to invest more in the one product line that's showing signs of life, would you do it? If you had a choice between paying a considerable chunk of cash for Windows and a lesser sum for Android, what would you do? Before answering those questions, you'd have to decide whether people would be willing to buy something other than Windows. Most haven't been, but when the alternative is from Google, which is now as well known as Microsoft, there's a real chance things could be different."

- Microsoft: Enterprises will self-host Windows Azure someday
"'The innovation in Azure and future versions of Windows Server will be shared, and that code base will continue to cross-pollinate,' said Steven Martin, senior director for developer platform product management at Microsoft, in an interview. 'The corporate datacenter at some point in time will look like a mini-cloud, partitioned by application workload.'…'Our goal is to completely hide the complexity of hardware from developers.'" See also the AWS trash-talk: "'We make it really easy for you to transition back to on-premises without having to completely rewrite your app. You control your own destiny,' Martin said. By contrast, 'if I'm a startup, it's gotta be in the back of my mind when I look at Amazon.com's 10-K, that 'Gosh, they may want to go back to just selling books.'"

- Catching up with GroundWork's new CEO, Peter Jackson | The Open Road – CNET News
"I see open source radically changing the software market in the next 24 months. Customers of traditional enterprise products and services have way overpaid for years. As companies analyze their capital expenditures more deeply, they suddenly find huge value gaps between their historical IT management purchases and open-source alternatives. With this in mind, if the stock market recovers in a couple of years, there should be many IPOs in this sector."
