The court also said
Novell couldn't run
interference for Linux
and stop SCO from seeking
royalty payments for
alleged UnixWare and
OpenServer infringement
by Linux users under its
infamous SCOsource
licensing program. ,
it's merely a matter of
time before SCO s...
You have perhaps heard
that while we were on
vacation Linux file
system ace and convicted
wife killer Hans Reiser
took the cops to where he
had buried her body. Two
days later when Reiser
was supposed to be
sentenced to 25 years to
life for first decree
murder the...
VMware is supposed to
report its second-quarter
results on Tuesday July
22 and people will be
tuning in to see how
EMC's abrupt ouster of
the virtualization
leader's CEO and
co-founder Diane Greene
last week is handled and
what is added to the news
that VMware isn...
Apple is now the
third-largest PC vendor
in the US, according to
IDC and Gartner's
preliminary Q2 data,
ousting Acer from the
slot. Gartner thinks Mac
shipments were up 38%
year-over-year in Q2 to
give Apple 8.5% of the
sputtering US market, up
from 6.4% this time...
As predictable as the bet
that night will follow
day, Apple sued a little
widely watched wannabe
Mac cloner in Florida
called Psystar that's
been selling a $399 box
called Open Computer for
the last few months.
HP is going into the
shipping container
business following down
the path already trod by
Sun and recently IBM and
some other smaller firms
except HP of course
figures it can do these
data center add-ons
better than its rivals.
HP calls its 40-foot
containers PODs,...
Citrix has tapped its VP
of channels and emerging
product sales Al
Monserrat to replace its
departing sales chief
John Burris, who, as
previously reported, is
going to Sourcefire as
CEO. A couple of years
ago Monserrat was
responsible for Citrix'
North American sa...
Microsoft and its
cross-platform,
Flash-rivaling,
RIA-building Silverlight
plug-in are being sued in
San Francisco for patent
infringement by a
no-profile Massachusetts
outfit called Gotuit
Media Corporation. The
thin seven-page suit and
its venue comes
complime...
That thud you heard
yesterday was the
European Commission
hitting Intel with a
second supplemental
indictment-like statement
of objection (SO)
charging the company with
three more instances of
antitrust violations
designed to keep AMD out
of the market.
Miraculo...
Citrix on Tuesday
announced Project Kensho,
which is supposed to
deliver Open Virtual
Machine Format (OVF)
tools that will let ISVs
and enterprise IT folk
create portable
hypervisor-independent
enterprise application
workloads that should run
across XenServer, Hyp...
Amazon has kicked into
Engine Yard's $15 million
Series B round along with
Benchmark Capital and New
Enterprise Associates.
The two-year-old 70-man
open source company
provides a deployment
infrastructure, services
and support for
developers to take their
Ruby and...
Zoho, the online Office
wannabe, has gotten
Swisscom, the telephone
side of the old Swiss PTT
monopoly, to offer its
300,000 business
customers a suite of
Zoho's SaaS applications
as part of a six-month
pilot through its Teamnet
portal. The Zoho Business
suite, in...
CEO Hector Ruiz,
increasingly blamed for
the harrowing of AMD,
stepped down during the
company's Q2 conference
call with Wall Street
Thursday in favor of his
sidekick, AMD president
and patent-carrying
engineer Dirk Meyer, the
guy who used to run AMD's
chip operat...
Microsoft earned $4.3
billion on revenues of
$15.84 billion, up 18%,
in its fourth fiscal
quarter in June, making
it a $60 billion company
- compliments of emerging
markets and demand for
Windows Server 2008. It
had better-than-expected
Vista sales this time
throu...
About a month and a half
ago HP created a Scalable
Computing and
Infrastructure
Organization (SCIO) out
of a stealth Web 2.0
group that it's had under
the covers for the last
year, year-and-a-half and
its HPC unit along with
its cloud intentions.
Sun, whose stock has been
teetering on the brink of
disaster, pre-announced
its fourth quarter
Tuesday and said it could
have non-GAAP earnings
somewhere between 25
cents and 35 cents
because of a $100 million
restructuring charge
(five-15 cents GAAP) on
revenues ...
Such speculation makes
one wonder if that means
Fujitsu, whose track
record in the United
States hasn't been
anything to write home
about either, would be
reluctant to buy Sun,
which has been looking
anemic enough lately to
have spawned reports it's
looking for a ...
As the economy swings
from bad to worse and
back again, Intel and the
techno lust it engenders
keep soldering on. The
company's second-quarter
results surpassed Wall
Street's expectations and
- despite various
warnings of weakening PC
demand worldwide - CEO
Paul O...
Since Microsoft's
forecast - and its margin
implications - is nothing
to sneeze at, we asked
industry analyst and
cloud spotter Amy Wohl
what she has been seeing.
'The first thing to keep
in mind is that we have
some semantic confusion,
as is usual at this stage
o...
There's a little puddle
on Wall Street where
VMware, the
virtualization leader and
the most brilliant IPO
since Google went public,
used to be. EMC, VMware's
parent company, announced
mid-morning that VMware
co-founder Diane Greene
was out presumably
because the c...
Parallels CEO Serguei
Beloussov sent around his
response to Microsoft's
surprise release of
Hyper-V last week: 'While
he figures it'll lower
the barriers to server
virtualization adoption -
and tear a piece out of
VMware's hide - 'the
breath of 20 deployments
will...
In the statement Yahoo
put out, chairman Roy
Bostock said, 'After
negotiating among
themselves without the
involvement of Yahoo!,
Carl Icahn and Microsoft
presented us with a 'take
it or leave it' proposal
under which we would be
required to restructure
the compan...
Woe has come to a chip
company and for a change
it isn't AMD. In fact it
may be AMD-inflicted.
Late Wednesday GPU leader
Nvidia, which competes
with Intel and AMD's ATI
graphics side, said its
current quarter had come
a cropper and that
everybody should cut
their ...
Mithras Capital, which
owns a relatively small
block of 1.7 million
shares of Yahoo and would
vote for Icahn's
replacement slate in a
heartbeat, sent an open
letter to Microsoft
Thursday asking Steve
Ballmer to take
Microsoft's 'alternate
transaction' directly to ...
Monday was theoretically
the day that, over
protests and despite its
popularity, Windows XP
was retired as a way of
pushing people to adopt
the widely reviled Vista
operating system before
the very Vista-like
'next-generation' Windows
7 arrives, supposedly at
the ...
VMware has cut an OEM
deal with Inspur, the
Chinese company whose
name used to be Langchao
and said to be the
largest native server
maker. Inspur will bundle
and support VMware's
Infrastructure 3 widgetry
on its servers. Inspur
says there's little
virtualization d...
Remember those
Interoperability
Principles Microsoft came
up with back in, oh,
February? Well, on Monday
it posted polished-up
'Version 1.0'
documentation on the
protocols in Office 2007,
SharePoint Server 2007
and Exchange Server 2007
following a preliminary
re...
Five years after Samba
2.0 - with 31 dot
releases intervening -
the Samba team has
finally delivered Samba
3.2, the latest FOSS file
and print server suite
for Microsoft Windows
clients. Samba now has
90% of the file
functionality and 95% of
the printing
functio...
Sun is offering to put
its open source Glassfish
application server and
MySQL database on as many
servers as a company's
got for a flat annual
subscription - no
counting servers, CPUS,
cores or virtual
machines, it says.
After much soul-searching
but finding no
'compelling reason,'
Intel of all people is
not going to upgrade its
80,000 PCs to Vista
except in a few places;
XP is just fine, thank
you, according to a piece
on a New York Times blog
that actually started in
the Inquire...
Tom Brokaw during his
exit interview with Bill
Gates last Friday asked,
'Do you think in a year
from now, when you're
down at the foundation
offices, you'll look up
at Microsoft and see
Yahoo as a permanent wing
of Microsoft, a part of
it? Do you think the deal
wi...
Adobe says it's going to
'dramatically improve'
the search results of
dynamic web content and
rich Internet
applications (RIAs) for
Google and Yahoo by
giving them optimized
Flash Player technology.
This new widgetry, which
will read and index SWF
files, is suppos...
Microsoft has confirmed
that it's buying the
Powerset semantic or
natural language search
start-up and its staff of
50 to give Google and its
keywords a run for their
money, as rumored last
week. How long it takes
Microsoft to go
algorithm-to-algorithm
with Google...
Brace yourself for a new
era of creative web
addresses. ICANN, the
non-profit Internet
Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers, has
opened up top-level
domains, the little .com,
.org, .gov, .edu, .net
suffixes or country
abbreviation at the end
of a web address...
Well, if the economy -
and not just software,
mind you - is going from
products to services and
perforce subscriptions
then vendors are going to
need an appropriate
billing system that
chases down and captures
all the monthly payments,
right? Well, that's what
a c...
Verizon, Google, Cisco,
HP, Motorola, Sun,
Telefon AB and Ericsson
have banded together as
the Allied Security Trust
to buy IP before any
trolls can take them to
court. They've paid $250k
to join and are each
kicking it about $5
million in funding. They
will then ...
A New York federal judge
has ordered Google to
turn YouTube user data
over to Viacom's outside
counsel so Viacom, which
is suing YouTube for
upwards of a billion
dollars in damages, can
prove YouTube users are
watching copyrighted
videos. That's every
YouTube user...
Microsoft has finally
explained what its
subscription-based Albany
gambit is and it's like
what we said it would be.
Microsoft officially
calls it Microsoft Equipt
and it's meant to push
out Office Home and
Office Student 2007 as
kinda, sorta, almost, but
not quit...
The Justice Department
has reportedly opened a
formal antitrust
investigation of the
multimillion-dollar
Microsoft-escaping deal
for Google to provide
advertising to Yahoo's
search engine, with a
demand for documents
going out to other than
the immediate parties, ...
