Pet Holdings, the company behind ICanHasCheezburger and a number of other humorous blogs, has unveiled the newest addition to its popular blog network: OnceUponAWin, a site dedicated to finding and posting nostalgic photos and videos from your childhood.
I have a hard time believing OnceUponAWin will be as popular as the network’s flagship blog about lolcats or failblog, a favorite around the TechCrunch office. But it’s a solid addition to the network, and will only further boost P Dec. 3, 2008 03:36 PM | The title pretty much sums it up. Have you run into any new issues in Adobe AIR 1.5?

Dec. 3, 2008 11:55 AM | Mashups are a popular topic lately, in both IT and business circles. Gartner recently named them a ‘Top 10 IT Technology for 2009’. But if your organization is thinking about ‘getting mashy’, here are five common pitfalls that you can avoid with just a little education and forethought:The ‘Fall for the Buzz’ Mistake: Misunderstanding what a ‘mashup’ is. Everyone wants to be associated with the hot buzzword and mashups are hot.

I may get more value out of Twitter than anyone else on the planet because I use Twitter as a tool—specifically as a marketing tool—for my website Alltop and my book, Reality Check. If the concept of using Twitter in a commercial manner interests you, keep reading. If it doesn’t, then you can continue to send and receive tweets about how cats are rolling over and the line at Starbucks.
Forget the “influentials.” You must buy into the theory that products and servic Dec. 2, 2008 08:57 PM | You have most likely heard of the microblogging site,

over Dec. 2, 2008 08:47 PM | In the latest Radio Berkman podcast, Prof. Charles Nesson and Joel Tennenbaum explain their countersuit against the RIAA, claiming that the RIAA should be forbidden on Constitutional grounds from suing people for sharing music files. Charlie’s analogy is to Congress passing a law that charges $750-$150,000 for each mile we go over the speed limit, and then allows a private company to fund itself by enforcing the law, and allows them to take bribes (”settlements”). He says the R Dec. 2, 2008 02:35 PM | A 5 year old Russian girl can beat up an 8 year old American boy. I learned this from a red-hating cold war calisthenics instructor who was trying to motivate a bunch of 8 year old televisionlanders at a YMCA summer day camp at the Dad's Club in Houston, Texas. It is sort of exciting to imagine that WWIII would be settled by hand-to-hand combat with girls. The calisthenics instructor invented that fact in order to support his well-intentioned argument. Was that dishonest? No, Dec. 2, 2008 02:32 PM | Jeff Jarvis responds to my series of pieces about news after the hypothetical collapse of the news industry. I wrote a comment there, which I'm reproducing here, with some light edits.
Jeff, the stuff you're justifying is the stuff that's going away, that there is no money to support. If we all care about the news, and making sure that it gets from the people who have it to the people who want it, we're going to have to learn how to do it without all the heavy iron. It seems to me the responsibl Dec. 2, 2008 02:10 PM | TIBCO BusinessEvents 3.0.1 is now shipping. This includes a few niceties for complex event processing needs such as extreme performance and better business control:

“As for the sergeant major’s job, it basically consisted of two main duties: being the chief disciplinary officer and maintaining the physical infrastructure of the base. As such, he was a terror to everyone in the battalion. Most people knew him only from the way he strutted around, conducting inspections, screaming at the top of his lungs, and demanding impossibly high standards of order and cleanliness in what was essentially a bunch of tents in the middle of the desert—tents that wer Dec. 1, 2008 02:34 PM | This is the fifth of a six part series of posts on the Agile SOA life cycle. Here we will at look at IT and SOA Governance. With the introduction of agile, spiral, and scrum development methodologies, the traditional waterfall development approach of testing a near-finished app at the end of many Agile development cycles won't be agile at all, as the elements of the application are constantly changing. Traditional models of IT governance will also not work. To aggravate testing, the service-or Dec. 1, 2008 08:06 AM | You can now put linux onto your shiny iPhone. Linux Kernel 2.6 has been ported across and it will work on the 1st / 2nd Generation iPhone / Touch devices.It is still does not have many drivers but it seems that the Frame buffer driver, Serial Driver driver, Serial over USB and a few others are now working. Right now at this early stage wireless networking also does not work but it is a work in progress. Once installed you can boot into the iPhone OS or the Linux OS using a Nov. 30, 2008 10:22 AM | This was my second time at the Swedish conference Øredev and, whaoo, it has grown in both size and content. As with many of the top tier conferences you meet the regular suspects, but at Øredev you will also meet new faces and new interesting companies. There were several interesting companies there presenting their technologies, solutions, and services, such as JavaBlaokBelt and JayWay.
We also met with former colleagues and friends from Oracle, and here is a classical picture from an encou Nov. 28, 2008 03:16 AM | Unless you've been in a cave for the last few months, you'll know that Apple's iPhone Platform is one of the most exciting Mobile Platforms for the last few years, not only for consumers but now for business.

In his presidential campaign, United States President-elect Barack Obama made use of social-networking in a way that was unheard of. As a result of this non-traditional approach, his team managed to shatter all previous fundraising [...] Nov. 27, 2008 06:55 AM | For a proposal I’m drafting, I wrote: “It’s important to recognize that successful innovations do not create needs—they satisfy unmet needs. The trick is figuring out what needs are going unmet.”
Is that true?
Nov. 25, 2008 04:38 PM | I was going through my email today and found a recent email from Matt Rechenburg of OpenQRM who just released OpenQRM version 4.2. In the latest addition OpenQRM has support for provisioning server images in the cloud.
Here’s the list of features:
This new version comes with additional support for VMware ESX, an integration with Puppet for automated configuration management, improvements for the high-availability mechanism and, last but not least, a Cloud-plugin.
