At SYS-CON Media we see our inventories are filling up to 100% capacity for
the months of November, December, and January, and we are seeing
better-than-normal RFP activity for the first quarter of 2010.
When I say this, I am comparing the current insertion order activity to the
same period last year. We will be closing 2009 roughly 32% below 2008 in
revenues (far better than any other tech media company), which forced us to
reduce our expenses for the same period by around 40%. Last fall, while the
world was falling apart, we were preparing for a 40%-45% drop in advertising
revenues for 2009. We did better than our worst projections.

Doing more with less is a familiar refrain for IT professionals, and today's
challenging business environment has only increased the pressure on managers
to achieve efficiencies, maximize performance and improve responsiveness of
the data center. More and more frequently, IT is turning to virtualization to
accomplish its mission-critical goals.
The hot new trend in cloud computing is a natural extension of this drive
toward virtualization. In the case of the public cloud, IT can add processing
power and infrastructure as needed, and in the case... (more)

I’ve spent the last couple of days, after absorbing the Sybase acquisition
of Aleri’s assets, looking at the various CEP players websites for evidence
of cloud (grid name du jour) deployment.
I haven’t found anything worth mentioning. That’s not to say that I
might have missed something. But my guess is that with all the economic
woes lately, that the CEP vendors have either chosen to ignore or just simply
aren’t aware that the rest of the world is actually solving real problems
with cloud deployments.
Which is interesting.
It’s interesting because one of the pioneers in CEP &... (more)

As far as the expo floor goes, out of 50 sponsors and exhibitors, 46 companies confirmed during the conference that they will participate in the 2010 Cloud Computing Expo at the same or higher level. Reads: 7,698  By Carmen Gonzalez Cloud Expo is the world's leading Cloud-focused event and is held five times a year, in New York, Silicon Valley, Europe, Japan, and Brazil. Over 200 corporate sponsors and 10,000 industry professionals became part of Cloud Expo since its inception, more than all other Cloud-related events put together worldwide.

Enjoy here our photo album of the show. Reads: 8,446  By Cloud News Desk The past month has seen an unprecedented concentration of Cloud-related articles, events, tweets, and - above all - product launches, partnership announcements and M&A; moves. So is Cloud Computing, after three years, finally coming to the boil? Here, by way of allowing you to judge for yourself, SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal brings you a timeline of the trajectory of the Cloud so far. Reads: 7,666  By Carmen Gonzalez Ulitzer.com announced "the World's 30 most influential Cloud bloggers," who collectively generated more than 24 million Ulitzer page views. Ulitzer's annual "most influential Cloud bloggers" list was announced at Cloud Expo, which drew more delegates than all other Cloud-related events put together worldwide.

Reads: 8,294  By Jeremy Geelan Cloud computing is a game changer. The cloud is disrupting traditional software and hardware business models by disrupting how IT service gets delivered. Entrepreneurial opportunities abound as this classic disruptive technology begins to proliferate, so it is no surprise that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Expo is going from strength to strength. Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 11,691  By Ellen Rubin The talk at the Cloud Computing Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so, who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are being tested? To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle. Since so much has been written and discussed about the cloud in 2009, there is now a growing impatience for actual results. Reads: 7,446  By Bill Roth The most anticipated talk of the day yesterday, at the 4th International Cloud Expo, was by the deputy CIO of the CIA, Jill Singer. Her talk was entitled, "Enterprise Cloud Computing, the Infrastructure’s Final Revenge." She acknowledged the problem with defining Cloud Computing, and then went on to give her paragraph-length definition of “the cloud”. Her talk focused on the part of the Cloud behind the firewall. “Today’s CIO must increase the flexibility of the infrastructure,” said Singer. Reads: 7,393  By Roger Strukhoff Yahoo aims to be one of the 800-pound gorrillas--along with Google, Amazon, and several major technology companies--in the upcoming battles for hosting dominance in the Cloud Computing space. As Shugar noted in the days before his presentation, the company "is developing and utilizing Internet-scale cloud computing services to improve the consumer experience, speed innovation, simplify operating environments, and reduce costs. Reads: 7,774  By John Savageau Having gone through a couple of decades worth of technology conferences, a familiar cycle occurs. For the first couple years, technology-related conferences are attended by engineers and operations people. Only after the technology has passed a couple of feasibility gates and begun to hit the business cycle do sales and marketing people take over. Cloud is now officially past the engineering phase, well into the sales phase – and the business community is scrambling to understand the implications of a virtualized world. Reads: 5,387  By Carmen Gonzalez The first "Ulitzer New Media Power Panel" took place today at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California. Streamed live to 60,000 viewers via SYS-CON.TV, the panel was moderated by Jeremy Geelan. Geelan's guests in the first power panel were Ian Thain and Tim Crawford. The first "Ulitzer Live! - New Media Conference & Expo " will take place on June 14, 2010 in New York City and will present a world class faculty who will analyze new media, content marketing strategies, social CRM, enterprise social media, personal branding tools, and many other subjects. Reads: 6,676  By Fuat Kircaali As of January 2010, we booked more revenue for 2010 than the entire fiscal year 2009 actuals, including unearned income with record sponsorship sales for Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West and Cloud Expo Europe events.
Our revised revenue projections for 2010 is on track for an all time record revenues since our company's inception in 1994, including media sales up in January from a year ago.
As I made a reference to sponsorship and expo sales, I encourage all our sponsors to take contract option 2 which includes Cloud Expo 2010 East (New York City), Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), and Cloud Expo 2010 West (Silicon Valley, California) events. Reads: 3,156  By Carmen Gonzalez Since we announced Cloud Expo three years ago in 2007 and launched it in March of 2008 in New York City, I have been personally working with the companies that are in leadership positions as the Cloud technologies form.
Today, we have close to a 100% resign rate among our sponsors for the upcoming Cloud Expo, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
I would like to take this opportunity to share some tips with all our valued sponsors, exhibitors, our rock start faculty, as well as our delegates. Reads: 3,813 |

A common Classic PB code technique when modifying the displayed contents of window controls, is to turn off screen refresh by calling SetRedraw( false ), performing the update activity and then calling SetRedraw (true).
Setredraw( ) is one of those graphic object methods that falls by the wayside when migrating to .NET. It is no longer supported. Is this a bad thing that will give your users a migraine headache or a non-issue?
This post and the accompanying video will give you a refreshing understanding of the issue and help set your expectations when you migrate and see those unsupported feature warnings.
First some background:
In classic Windows UI and .NET WinForm, each window (and remember internally each control is a window) is constantly redrawing itself; when it's first created, when it's covered and re-exposed, and when something about its look and feel needs to change. Wh...
Last week I was able to get together a large group of iPhone Developers and I took the opportunity to question them on the newly announced iPad. Firstly a quick show of hands identified that approximately 30 of the group already had iPhone OS applications on the Apple AppStore, some of which had multiple apps. Cool... this was my starting point and a way to gauge actual community feeling.
All of these developers were excited by the iPad and the mood amongst the group, was that this could be the start of a new app 'gold rush'. Over 90% were already looking into extending their current applications for iPad, rather than relying on the pixel-doubling facility within the iPad and over 50% of them indicated that they were looking at brand new application ideas that took advantage of the device. Obviously none were happy to divulge the direction of their ideas... funny that eh ;-)
