Collaboration 2.0
FEBRUARY 20, 2012
Collective business collaboration is very different to our individual digital interaction choices: how do we leverage past generations of training technologies to align with new opportunities to define and formalize the best ways to work together, and which CxO group should be responsible for this, or should this be a cross enterprise initiative?

If Facebook’s IPO filing does anything besides mint a lot of millionaires, it will be to shine a rather unsettling light on a fact most of us would rather not acknowledge: The web as we know it is rather like our polar ice caps: under severe, long-term attack by forces of our own creation. And if we lose the web, well, we lose more than funny cat videos and occasionally brilliant blog posts.

As a mainframe DB2 guy, I'm bullish on stored procedures -- I've presented on the topic at international conferences and regional user group meetings , written about stored procedures for the old DB2 Magazine (now known as IBM Data Magazine ), and posted many a related entry to my DB2 blogs, both this blog (an example being an entry from August of last year ) and the one I maintained while working as an independent DB2 consultant (included among these is part 1 of a 3-part entry on stored proced

The news alert from the Wall St. Journal hit my phone about an hour ago, pulling me away from tasting “ Texas Bourbon ” in San Antonio to sit down and grok this headline: Google’s iPhone Tracking. Now, the headline certainly is attention-grabbing, but the news alert email had a more sinister headline: “Google Circumvented Web-Privacy Safeguards.” Wow!

So, last week I posted a blog entry describing one of the two really important (in my opinion) DB2 10 for z/OS enhancements related to LOB (large object) data management -- that being the ability to "in-line" a portion (or even all) of a LOB column's data values in a base table space, alongside the associated table's non-LOB data values (this as opposed to having to store all of every LOB value in a LOB table space that -- while logically transparent -- is physically distinct from a table's base

Flash on Linux hasn't always been the best experience in the stability and security departments. Users of 64-bit Linux, in particular, have to put up with NSPluginWrapper , a technology which bridges a 64-bit browser process to the 32-bit Flash library. In terms of sandboxing, your distribution might slap a clunky SELinux or AppArmor policy on Flash, but it may or may not be on by default.

Over the weekend I finished Larry Lessig’s most recent (and ambitious) book, Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress–and a Plan to Stop It. Amongst those of us who considered Lessig our foremost voice on issues of Internet policy, his abrupt pivot to focus on government corruption was both disorienting and disheartening: here was our best Internet thinker, now tilting at government windmills.

In the normal course of research for the book, I wondered how quickly mobile phone use got to the 1 billion mark. I figured we’re well past that number now, but I had no idea how far past it we’ve blown.Like, six times past it. We hit 1 billion in the year 2000, and never looked back. According to the ITU , nearly 90% of people in the world use mobile phones.

So this post isn’t written from experience as much as it’s pure speculation, or as I like to call it, Thinking Out Loud.

Not since Google’s 2004 filing have so many journalists sped-read one document at the same time, eager to glean any possible insight unique to their particular point of view or publication and rush to post it before anyone else.
