I'm not kidding. It's even better than I hoped. Yes, it's only Python, but IBM's PC-DOS was only BASIC and Pascal when it first came out, and it didn't matter. Yeah, I preferred C, but I coded in Pascal because that's what you had to do to get an app running. What you're going to see here that you've never seen before is shrinkwrap net apps that scale that can be deployed by civillians. That's a mouthful, but that's what's coming. Why? Because here is a standardized platform that can be stamped out in the billions of units. Maybe Google can't do it, but the perception is that they can. Who is willing to stand up and say Google hasn't nailed scaling? What PCs did in the 80s, Google is doing now. PCs took the black magic out of owning a computer. http://hp.sys-con.com/read/463309.htmhttp://hp.sys-con.com/read/463309.htm Thu, 07 Feb 2008 12:15:00 GMT Key opinion-formers in the field of infrastructure and pioneers of virtualization technologies of all types have already begun submitting speaking proposals to Virtualization Conference & Expo 2008 East, being held in New York City, 23-24 June, 2008.

It is also suing IBM for coming between it and its acquisition by HP and for threatening PSI customers with 'being drawn into the lawsuit,' PSI says. It claims damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars from the loss of its acquisition alone and is in 'dialogue' with the Justice Department. http://hp.sys-con.com/read/463023.htmhttp://hp.sys-con.com/read/463023.htm Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:00:00 GMT I asked what she did for a living. She said she was a software engineer working with SOA. I did not think about my plane ride much until I arrived in San Francisco to attend the SOA World Conference & Expo this past Monday and Tuesday. The first day of the conference as I walked into the hotel, guess who I saw? My friend who I met on the Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul. What a small world, isn't it? Her company was one of the sponsors of the event.
