Chromium – Chrome for Mac
July 16th, 2009, No Comments
I started running Chromium (the Chrome browser for Mac) yesterday and it’s pretty nifty. It’s fast and functions alot like the Windows version. The only issue I’ve run into so far is its lack of support for Flash.
For more info you can checkout the Chromium blog or download the latest build. TechCrunch also has a [...]

July 3rd, 2009, No Comments
In my never-ending quest for the perfect PPM tool, I downloaded beta 5 of Colabolo a week or so ago. I’ve been running it on a small project and have to say it’s not bad.

January 9th, 2009, No Comments
The new Amazon EC2 Console is a slick point-and-click, web-based user interface providing access to Amazon’s suite of infrastructure web services. AWS has typically been a geek service due to it’s command line interface, but this new console should attract new (Windows) customers that are more confortable with a point-and-click interface.
Suprise! SAP Acquires Business Objects
October 10th, 2007, No Comments
I don’t think that anyone saw this coming as SAP has always preferred to “build” versus “buy”.

They overpaid for Skype
It cannot create synergies between it other core services
