Carly Fiorina naked !!!

This is a lesson. Success lies in good marketing. I just wanted to pass barrier of 1000 visits ... and since it seems pornography and nudism are most searched web contents ... :-)))

And now back to You. You dirty bastard! Yes you, the reader. You poor pervert! Why would you want to see Carly naked anyway??? -Man, she's 50!!! That's half of century. yuk

:-)

OK, I'm following the "satisfied customer policy" so I'll sell you what you want ... no matter how disscusting that is.

So here's one fake photo (courtesy of http://www.ceoscope.com/carly_fiorina.htm)

Apple Would Never Accept Dell's Offer

hehehe. Just think. Not Think. And not different. (meaning, not as IBM Think and not Apple's Think Different - from their commercials).

Think as Michael Dell.



This would be different end for Jobs. Recently, as Apple switched to Intel processor, announcing end of POWER powered Macs, everyone were guessing if this means, we'll be able to run OS X on our PCs. And Mike Dell smelled a business case. He said to the press that in case Apple will offer OS X for distribution, they'll sell it for sure.

Never say never; but I'd say this will never happen. Success, not to mention stability etc., of Macs lies also in paranoid jealousy of Apple. They are a HW company. And they have to have total control over HW and SW so that it can be integrated together eliminating most of the problems from chaotic PC market.

This also gives them chance for A LOT higher margins than PC world could even dream about. PC-way of doing business would burry Apple in a year or so.

I'm just waiting for first MAC on Intel, to see what we'll get. Don't get price hopes too low, though. ;-)

Who says IBM designs boring products?!?

MareNostrum - Barcelona IBM supercomputer - PHOTOS



Who says technology isn't art? Where are all those who say IBM designs boring products??? Put your weapons down, 'couse where IBM hits, grass stops growing. :-)



Looking at these photos makes me realise what a jerk I am for persuading my wife not to go to Spain for honeymoon. Sorry, IBM. You're the best, but this is home politics. ;-)

I'd probably enjoy this museum more than I did London's National Science Museum. Excuse me, I have to go bang my head to the wall for a few moments now.

P.S.: thanks to my friend from IBM, for the link. Dziekuje!!!

Intel Inside Apple

Yes, they switched. And it realy seems IBM didn't know anything about it. Which proves one thing. IBM doesn't give a shit. Apple is only minor part of processor business.

But this move is more of a emotional shock - especialy to all those proud-to-be-Apple-owner fellows. They've been bragging for a long time now, that their boxes don't have those school-calculator-chips inside. They had POWER. Literaly! ;-)

But no longer. In my opinion, it's relatively smart move. For all the parties involved. Intel can celebrate simbolical victory, although their finance guys aren't realy jumping from joy as they don't expect enourmous profits. Apple can be happy, if they realy have a good and stabile OS version for Intel architecture (which I don't doubt). All they have to do is persuade fanatical owners of their perfect boxes, that this is good stuff / that their small soft enemies wont be able to run OS X on 3-times cheaper boxes. IBM can be happy, as it wont have to argue with Apple's empty-pocketed finance people.

Where is this going to lead? Is this one of those major shifts in computing market? Let's not forget, that Apple has just about 4% market share. So it's pretty much so market-shifting as Slovenia's exit from NATO would be to the worlds' geopolitical status. :-))


But it's interesting, though! Not to mention, that far more people heard for this fruit than for Slovenia!

Want to hear something market shifting??? -Dell moves to POWER!!!

IBM & Lenovo produce their first tablet PC - ThinkPad X41 Tablet

The new Lenovo released it's first notebook - and we can claim that this is also IBM's first Tablet PC. M$ and other tablet-players are probably pretty happy about it, as IBM's entrance to the market usually gives it some sort of business legitimacy and market starts growing.

As this machine is building on success of IBM's X-product line, which means ultra small, ultra light and therefore extremely portable machines, this should be a good starting point for sales: proven technology, design and advantages - just upgraded to a tablet level.

However, don't get overexcited and first think if this sort of machine is appropriate (and needed) for your (business) environment. Some people like to panic and claim that something like this means end of "ordinary notebook computing". No it doesn't. It's just giving users more choice.




I'm looking forward to getting this little baby on test ... till then, check out what CNET is saying:

The End of Corporate Computing

Interesting new theory from Nick Carr, author of Does IT matter? - check out the review
MIT SMR Article, "The End of Corporate Computing" - Spring 2005 Nicholas G. Carr. Reprint 46313


"The resulting industry will likely have three major components. At the center will be the IT utilities themselves — big companies that will maintain core computing resources in central plants and distribute them to end users. Serving the utilities will be a diverse array of component suppliers — the makers of computers, storage units, networking gear, operating and utility software, and applications. And finally, large network operators will maintain the ultrahigh-capacity data-communication lines needed for the system to work."


Nicholas has his own blog at Roughtype blog

IT doesn't matter is still a book that will make IT managers fight each other. Basically, Carr is stating, that IT itself isn't a competitive advantage - instead, the "old stuff" - good processes, fair-payed people etc. are important. IT is just a new driver for this stuff. He is questioning where the real value of IT is.

From my point of view, I'd agree with Carr. For example, if a corporation has huge investments in IT, but their core business processes aren't healthy, people not motivated ... they'll go down the toilet.

Every IT investment must be well considered - and aligned to the businesprocessesss - to support and act as a good driver toward successfulll business results.

Don't forget, customer satisfaction! :-)
