"There is much that is attractive about HTML5," says Douglas Crockford, known
to millions of developers as the discoverer of JSON (JavaScript Object
Notation), the widely used lightweight data-interchange format.
"But ultimately," Crockford continues, "the thing that made the browser into
a credible application delivery system was JavaScript, the ultimate
workaround tool." The problem is that there is what he calls "a painful gap"
in the specification of the interface between JavaScript and the browser. The
result? XSS and other maladies. The responsible course of action, Crockford
contends, is to correct that defect first before pushing ahead with HTML5.
In an email exchange with Jeremy Geelan, here is what Crockford (pictured
above) says, in his own words...
"The most serious defect in web browsers is the incorrectly named Cross Site
Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. XS... (more)

"Larry Ellison is borderline bat-shit crazy on a good day," the analyst Rob
Enderle is quoted as saying in a piece last week by Sam Gustin - a senior
writer at DailyFinance, an AOL Finance & Money site.
Enderle was prompted to utter this remark by speculation that perhaps the
Oracle CEO is about to embark upon the acquisition of his life: of HP.
"I think his bet is that he can damage HP enough that it drops in value and
he can wander in with an offer," Enderle is quoted as having added.
So is it possible that Ellison the Conqueror, CEO of Oracle Corporation since
he founded the compa... (more)

Cloud Expo Breaking News By Tim Negris In his keynote address at the NetEvents Press Summit in Istanbul, Brocade CMO John McHugh pulled a major "Debbie Downer," decrying the immediacy of cloud computing and calling it "overhyped". He further predicted that true utility computing is "probably 10 or more years away" and counseled IT in the meantime to work with a single vendor to build a private cloud "inside a metal cage." He also used the opportunity to defend networking pure-plays like Brocade and take what seemed possibly to be a...

Conference News & Updates  By Pat Romanski SYS-CON Events announced on Friday that Cloud Expo 2010 West, the 7th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, has been extended to four days from November 1-4, 2010, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.
Cloud Expo 2010 West total show floor space increased from 20,000 sq. ft. in 2009 to over 100,000 sq. ft. in 2010 including the expo floor.
The expo floor will be open for four full days, November 1-4, 2010, in the Grand Ballrooms A through H.
Half of the Cloud Expo 2010 West exhibit space had already sold out during the last West Coast event in November 2009.
Cloud Expo is the world's leading Cloud-focused event since 2007, and is held five times a year, in New York City, Silicon Valley, Prague, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Cloud Expo, Inc. publicity platforms include multiple news syndication channels, more than a dozen Ulitzer.com channels, multiple Twitter feeds that are amplified to hundreds of thousands of followers, as well as Cloud Expo's "Most Powerful Cloud Bloggers" platform with millions of page views at http://CloudComputingExpo.com.
The event is streamed live to more than 50,000 concurrent viewers at any given time throughout the three days. All key media outlets, technology journalists, and press are VIP-invited to Cloud Expo 2010 West - Santa Clara.

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.
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.

Reads: 16,920  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in. Reads: 4,511  Further cementing its position as The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World, the organizers of the 7th Cloud Expo, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, announced today that the event will also feature – on November 2nd, 2010 – a CloudCamp unconference.
CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

As cloud computing adoption increases, many enterprises are not developing a full vision for their cloud computing efforts. Most of the projects being deployed in the cloud are more for testing and proof of concept than actual production, but there are projects that show such success in the cloud that they are left there permanently. I am not one to discourage enterprises from 'testing the waters' of the cloud in whatever fashion they deem proper, but I do highly recommend that an overall 'cloud...
The basic principle of growing the business is finding the best person to get the job done, with reasonable cost. That is why the payroll is outsourced to ADP; In-house Email Server replaced by Google Apps Premier; Business contacts are managed by Salesforce.com.
Your in-house data storage will grow as your business grow. Over time, it will become expensive. For example, it may take a couple of days to backup 50G data to a FTP server. It will take 200 days to do the same thing for 5 Terabytes o...
I’m afraid so....let’s get more! I don’t like it and....here’s a check. I’m not safe....but I need another. I’m so sick of you...give me a big hug. As I’ve mentioned on a few occasions, it seems like a new cloud computing survey gets released on a weekly basis and often the results make me want to scratch my head.
I've been asked quite a few times, "when will it be a good time to get into cloud computing?" by potential clients. My answer is typically it depends... I know, I know.... not much direction there, but really it all depends. Why ?
Well, some may state, "we all know of the much beaten security concerns, and we will ensure that systems on our end are secured and synced to work in tandem with the vendors security." Can one ensure some degree of monitoring by the implementation of an Intrusion De...
As cloud-delivered services become the coin of the productivity realm, how those services are managed as they are developed, deployed, and used -- across a services lifecycle -- increasingly determines their true value. And yet governance is still too often fractured, poorly extended across the development-and-deployment continuum, and often not able to satisfy the new complexity inherent in cloud models.
