If you believe you’re having TLS related issues, please refer to my previous post.

Flipboard iPad App is addictive. At 3 billion flips per month, its growth is phenomenal. But I did not need those statistics to convince me that the secret of its success lies in its careful attention to the reading experience. In this post, I am contrasting it with the reader app by Google called Google […]

GigaOM has an interesting article about why they think Amazon and Salesforce are blowing away the competition when it comes to cloud offerings.  Keep in mind that author James Urquhart is saying that these two are leaving companies like Google and Microsoft in the dust.  Here’s a couple quotes before my thoughts. I almost feel silly […]

Usually when something is “for free” you don’t associate the word “quality” to it.   But when its paired up with a well known brand like say…Google?  Now that grabs your attention!  I’d wager that anyone reading this article uses Google daily.  I’d even say that odds are you use Google to find something on the internet multiple times […]

The author, Alexander Pasik, Ph.D., CIO for IEEE, points to Google’s cloud computer services as “providing best-in-class user experiences that are consistent across […]

One of the more notable announcements in the last month was that of Google’s Cloud Platform Partner Program. The platform currently offers Google Compute Engine, Google App Engine, Google BigQuery, and Google Cloud Storage. The partner program is designed to extend the use of these applications by allowing integration of other Technology Partner applications as well as expanding implementation options […]

Apparently Google Chrome is now the world’s most popular web browser.  Ho-hum. Google also has the most popular search engine, but “most popular” doesn’t necessarily mean “best”.  Just ask 1990.  Some of you might remember that Milli Vanilli won a Grammy award that year.  Sheer populism is a mistake we often make in our modern […]

Google just announced its cloud storage service called Drive that offers 5 GB of free storage, mobile access (except iOS, but coming), and integration with Google Docs. Drive is the latest entry in a growing market of cloud storage providers.  My colleague Michael Porter recently posted a story about VMWare’s plans to create a private enterprise version of […]
