• Lynn Takes Job at Juniper

    Following up again on the Ciscogate thread, Lynn now has a job at Juniper networks. Yay!!
  • Duck and Cover Folks

    Nothing like a handgrenade of doubt to cause the venture capitalists to scuttle for cover. Is the investment in open source a bubble? Fuck no. $144 million into open source based companies is nothing at all. A drop in the bucket compared to the amount of venture money out there... [Read More]
  • Cisco

    After Defcon I mentioned the big blowup with Cisco. Just to follow up on that thread, they’ve now announced a patch for the vulnerability.

  • Social Computing

    I’m moderating a panel tomorrow on social software. It looks like the impetus for the discussion might have been a recent article in the MIT Technology Review about Social Computing. The panel participants and I have been emailing this week talking about what the discussion points for the panel should... [Read More]
  • Web 2.0: Conversation with Five Teenagers

    Jeff Clavier posted a pointer to a liveblogged session with five teenagers at Web 2.0. Definitely worth a read if you’re thinking about consumer internet services.
  • Clearing Inventory

    Apple is apparently updating hardware without telling folks so that they can clear inventory. Interesting. Wonder what happens when the Intel based systems come out? They just going to get quitly slipped in too?
