Most of those big jobs in France are political appointments based on who you know, not how good you are. His poor strategy at Atos is blamed with bringing what was one of the world's top 20 digital services companies to the edge of bankruptcy.

In the issue of Infoworld dated December 4, 1995; Metcalfe wrote that the Internet “will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 will collapse.” He identified a number of factors would bring about the Internet’s collapse, including security breaches, capacity overloads, and demand for video online.

Whatever happened to the Internets?

Yes, there is even a t-shirt: https://www.roverparts.com/product/Img/Icn/2978.jpg

I, for one, welcome our new polar bear sized porcine overlords

Sorry when the interviewer says in the first sentence "Loggly that's a cute name" he just came over a sleaze, like some groomer hanging out at the kidz park. I didn't watch the rest.

BTW Loggly isn't cute, it sounds like it has something to do with human waste monitoring.

I've got a cheap Packard Bell, cost about $200 new. Originally came with Vista long before 7 hit the market but I got a free upgrade to 7. It is about 6 years old now and works fine, it is quite a nice box but with zero upgrade options.

How about blocking http traffic to China and 301 redirecting any connections to the https address. If the endpoint doesn't support https, tough.

Strava have just launched a doo-daa that works with Google Glass. I don't know whether it does any of what you want but may be worth a look.

For bike navigation, when I'm going somewhere in town I just pop my car's TomTom in my pocket. It has a 2 hour battery life, has cycle routes and speaks the direction. Pretty straightforward.

Just checked the logs for a site I run. Over 375,930 unique visitors 81 were using Chrome OS. That's what 0.024% I think. Which is the same as the reports figures.

Can you print from Chrome OS btw?

Interesting analysis.

I've been messing around writing my own Java NoSQL CMS called Magneato. It stores articles in XML because I use XForms for the front end (maybe a bad choice but there isn't a good forms solution yet, not even with HTML5) and I use Lucene/Bobo for the navigation and search side of things. It is focussed on facetted navigation although you can have relations between articles: parent of, sibling etc via Lucene.

It actually sounds like my efforts are better than this team have produced.

An example being Charles Mackay of "Madness of Crowds" fame who had the Victorian equivalent of a Triple Platinum with "Cheer, Boys, Cheer" in 1846.
