on application developers beyond traditional client/server or standalone

IT Blogwatch: Google: cool new stuff ahoy!
It's IT Blogwatch, and Google has launched a bunch of new search upgrades, such
as Google Squared and Rich Snippets. Richi Jennings watches bloggers work out
what's going on. Not to mention In Bb 2.0 by Darren Solomon and you...

Seth H. Weintraub: Google's new search tools showcase innovation
Google has over 63% of the US search market which dwarfs next-closest rival
Yahoo with 20%, according to comScore Inc. Are they satisfied with that? It
doesn't appear so. Google is advancing ahead with new search tools that will
allow its users to find new ways to get the information they are after.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: What's the point of XP Mode anyway?
Seriously. Windows 7 is the next generation of Windows, but it's not a radical
change, so why do we need XP Mode?
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/5013488/283856150/190293/0/
Preston Gralla: Here's why you won't use XP Mode
Windows 7's XP Mode mode got a great deal of hype when it was introduced. But
I've spent a good deal of time with it, and can safely say that unless you're
one of the rare few, you'll never use it. Here's why.

Mitch Betts: Business demand for IT is outstripping the budget
IT demand will be up 17% over the next two years, while the IT budget will be
you-know-what. This can't go on. It's time for some aggressive "demand
management," which a new Hackett Group study calls a neglected strategy. Can you
say "chargeback"?

Lisa Hoover: Social media comes to Town Hall, residents freak out
There's an interesting story developing in Portland, Oregon. Multnomah County
Chair Ted Wheeler is looking for a Social Media Coordinator to communicate the
local government's activities using tools like blogs, Facebook, and Twitter.
Predictably -- and unfortunately -- many area residents are appalled. If the
public outcry is any indication, Wheeler may find himself Tweeting from the
unemployment line following the next local election.

Ken Gagne: What good are LinkedIn recommendations?
In this economy and job market, it pays to be proactive in keeping your
professional profile up-to-date. On LinkedIn, this is often taken to mean
seeking out recommendations from your supervisors, direct reports, and
co-workers. But what good are recommendations if only people you already know
can see them?

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Linux does have a future on netbooks
Desktop Linux must be doing something right-it's got Lenovo saying that it's
dead on arrival.

Shark Tank: Communications breakdown
This big music, film and new media festival attracts thousands of attendees, and
it seems like they've all got 3G mobile phones. And they're all using them --
until, not surprisingly, the 3G network crashes.

SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY
_____________________
For want of a nail
I used to run a state-wide network that connected about a hundred offices. One
day, an office far across the state went offline. All our tests indicated it was
a problem somewhere along the phone lines, so we called the phone company to
check the lines ...
