  1. Oh no, I didn't make sys-con list of "influential cloud bloggers" that blog on sys-con. Neither did most of the people that I listen to.
  2. @jwildeboer: also, I only make the statement because multiple end user studies point to Ubuntu being the no.2 linux server deployment.
  3. @jwildeboer: surely actual end user use studies are more relevant than OEM installs, especially since 96% of initial OSes are replaced?
  4. @jwildeboer : eclipse user survey, alfresco user survey etc ... all point to the same conclusion.
  5. @mart_brooks : hmm, well I'm betting on a drop in SSD prices, especially for the 128GB version (which is the one I want).
  6. @Beaker : before you know it, exchanges, derivatives etc. With multiple standardised clouds and price / QoS variance - arbitrage etc.
  7. @Beaker : I'll be able to go and buy bucket loads of reserved instances and sell them below today's spot price.
  8. @Beaker : sure but you can't transfer them from one account to another. As soon as that happens .... brokers galore!
  9. @jobsworth : I just borrowed the ideas from people like John Mcarthy, Douglas Parkhill, Herbert Simon, Joseph Schumpeter , Prof. Valen ...
  10. @krishnan : when I look at the agreement, it said you couldn't transfer to another account. You could consume / resell on your own account.
  11. @bookmeister : I happen to be a dyed in the wool blues fan (well since the days of Hoddle when I started going to matches).
  12. @talential , @raesmaa : it's a bit out of date that talk - through I'd appreciate knowing any bits you enjoyed or found interesting.
  13. @Beaker : at the moment reserved instances aren't transferable, as soon as Amazon provides a mechanism for this ... brokers!
  14. Anyone looking at my web 2.0 presentation -http://bit.ly/8rwGUH - forgive the SaaS / FaaS / HaaS - this was in the days before SPI / Cloud.
  15. @bookmeister : Ah, it's that time of year when Spurs fans start saying that this season they'll win the title.
  16. RT @jobsworth: you know that "cloud" has come of age when there's a transparent secondary market for CPU cycles and storage
  17. @jobsworth : that's actually why I called my web 2.0 Berlin talk (2007) - "short on cycles, long on storage" - http://bit.ly/8rwGUH
  18. @jobsworth : all I'm going to say is USaaSMM - http://bit.ly/5VA5PE
  19. @zambonini : try the new star trek - 6 billion+
  20. RT @zambonini: Star Wars must have one of the highest 'people killed' counts for a kids film (Alderaan destruction = 2 billion deaths).
