Cloud computing: Try it

I use a three step process for trying out a new technology:

  1. Find a way to try it out with minimal time and budget impact.
  2. Discuss my experience in a large community.
  3. Try it again.

Welcome to the Tool Talk blog!

I have a reputation for being an organized, hard-working productive guy, a fellow who gets a lot done and gets it done on time. But in fact that's a lie. In fact, I am a lazy, disorganized slob. But I've made a career out of finding digital tools that help me cover up.

Seriously: I am, by nature, disorganized and easily distracted. When I was a kid, teachers often said so, on my report cards and in parent-teacher conferences. I was forgetful, I was a daydreamer, I talked too much to the other kids.

Does the world need a new beginner's programming language? In the 1960s, BASIC, FORTRAN, LISP and ALGOL were the primary introductory programming languages. In the 1970s and 1980s, Pascal, C ad Scheme were the teaching programming languages of choice. In the 1990s, with object-oriented extensions to the C language, C++ took over from C as the lingua franca for students.

Apple versus Google

Dell's Android phone for China and Brazil: How bad can it be?

Jeez, from the talk out there you'd think that Dell's just announced Mini 3 phone had no shot at success.  Dell, even though it hasn't been wildly successful over the past few years, still builds a lot of computers, including one of the thinnest and sexiest out there, the Adamo laptop line.

Their history in portable devices is less illustrious.  They had the Dell DJ and Axiom lines which both didn't live up to expectations.  However, the blame for those failures might be more on the OS than the hardware.

Design Matters

Team iPhone versus team Droid

Form vs. function -- it's a classic challenge in the design world.  When it comes to developing mobile devices, many designers would agree that consistency and an efficient user experience matter most.   Smart phones like Apple iPhone reign supreme because the devices are easy to use, have tons of applications, and are developer friendly.  Now that Motorola's Droid is on the market, developers and technologists (myself included) are saying that the Apple iPhone has formidable competition. But perhaps we are getting ahead of ourselves.
