At VMworld today, VMware introduced the Workplace Suite, a platform for securely delivering applications and content across desktops and mobile devices from the cloud. The really cool part, though, is a partnership with Google and NVIDIA to deliver even graphics-intensive Windows applications on a Chromebook. I was on the scene.

Jawbone published a chart this morning showing its customers in the Bay area waking up during the recent earthquake. While many people thought that was a cool use of fitness data, it's a good reminder about how much data is being collected.

Consumer products will be far more than just inanimate objects. They will be part salesperson and part customer service rep. They'll even do a bit of cross-selling and upselling for you if the situation is right.

Google's decision means that's more work for web developers, as it forces them to write multiple versions of the same code.
They'll need to support Pointer Events, and whatever Google adds to Touch Events to support different input messages, and maybe Android's Motion Events if they aren't the same as Blink's version. The PC isn't growing much but it isn't dying off either. The future doesn't only look like touch — unless you're Google and all you see is Android.

For all the hype, Slack only really shines in the specific use-case of teams, likely distributed across geographies, who have to share and act on information from multiple sources really, really fast in order to produce something digital. It's probably not going to make as much sense for, say, a field sales force. Or the HR department. Or retail workers.

Venture capitalist Brad Feld recently argued that Amazon's cloud dominance is over, and said that it's a good time to be Microsoft or Google. In this article, CITEworld editor Matt Rosoff argues that Microsoft is in fact in the driver's seat — Azure is a core part of its strategy, not a low-margin side business like Google Cloud Engine is for its parent company.
