I have been predicting for years that there is a need for virtualization in cars. Guess what, it’s about to happen!

With 2012 kicking into high gear, there’s still plenty of gloomy crystal ball-gazing going on: more war, famine, financial crises, asteroids colliding with Earth – you know, the usual stuff. My visions for 2012 are instead of the mobile, not the Mayan kind. Not catastrophic, but definitely game-changing for the ...

The vicissitudes of real-world enterprise IT can make its practitioners seem like eternal naysayers: “No, you may not download and install any application you want”. “No, policy prohibits using social media on company time”. “No, you may not use your personal mobile phone to access company assets.” But now the ...

Great st

At last week's VMworld, VMware presented, once more, their Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP), now called Horizon Mobile. Besides the usual hype, there were a few things that I found somewhat annoying.
Specifically, VMware's Raj Mallempati is quoted as saying: "What VMware is going to do is provide me a corporate ...

Yesterday Iggy took some time to get better acquainted with the city of Chicago, one of the several places he calls home. Using the city’s Metra and El trains, as well as the water taxi, he took in some of the city’s best spots to visit.
Taking the Metra train transported Iggy into the city swiftly and safely. The ...

Vendors and users have two ways to approach them: as a crisis to be mitigated, or as an opportunity for transformation". The latter is ...

If you're unfamiliar with the lyric used for the title of this post, you must not be a "Cheers" fan.
"Cheers" was an American sit-com based on a Boston bar named, you guessed it, Cheers, that ran for 11 seasons and won 27 Emmy awards. Its stars included Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, and George Wendt, among others. I ...

With new technologies and new devices being introduced at the rate of a Twitter feed, it can be difficult to imagine what a new superphone or tablet will look like, until it is in your lap, on your desk, or in your hands.
