Killed Kenai? Thank god

That thing was bloody awful. Why on earth do all these tech companies think it's a good idea to recreate forum software from scratch every time?

Sun's main forums are pretty awful (but somewhat understandable since they're trying to maintain compatibility with the original mailling lists), Kenai was just a nightmare. I had to register on it for the now defunct Sun xVM Server project, and actively avoided using the site unless I had to.

There are dozens of really good, tried and tested forum programs out there. Creating a new one just diverts developer time from more useful features.

Googles fault, or Microsofts?

While Google will obviously need to patch this bug, you have to wonder about the security of a browser where a bug in any add-in can cause "high risk" vulnerabilities in the browser (to use Microsofts own description).

If you are going to allow plugins, they need to be isolated and sandboxed, to guard against both bugs like this and malicious plugins.

As far as I'm concerned, the louder Microsoft shout about problems with the Google plugin, the more they emphasize the problems with their browser.

Bye bye data...

Windows Home Server

now why the fuck

would I want that?

$1.25 *BILLION* for something they didn't do?

Pull the other one Intel, it's got bells on.

'most apps are web delivered'

WTF? We've got over 100 apps in use here, do you know how many of those are web delivered: 1.

Citrix have a huge market. I mean, even if we forget Office, Outlook, etc, you still have CAD software, image viewing, specialist apps, accounting software, none of which are web based. You seem to be confusing what's theoretically possible with what actually exists in the real world in the majority of companies.

PCI-e SSD's anyone?

It's not the 1 million IOPS I find interesting here, it's the fact that it mentions the drives are connected via a PCI-e expander.

That implies that Intel are developing a high end PCI-e based SSD, something to compete with Fusion-IO perhaps?
