workspace design historically mirrored the organizational chart, with people jockeying to be as close as possible to the seat of all power – the CEO. But now that information revolution has made information the new seat of power, there is much more flexibility in workspace design. Historically, all sorts of technologies have impacted phyiscal workplace design.

I’ve run into a number of folks these past few days who read my piece last week: The State of Digital Media: Passion, Goat Rodeos, and Unicorn Exits…. Some of you have asked me to explain a bit more on the economic issues regarding media startups. I didn’t really go too deep into them, but as I was answering one fellow in email, I realized I didn’t really explain how complicated they really are, particularly if you want to make new forms of publications.

When I say "bigger," I don't mean bigger in a "footprint" sense -- the new flagship system in IBM's mainframe server product line is very close, size-wise, to its predecessor, the z196, and has similar power draw and heat load characteristics. What I mean by "bigger"is that the zEnterprise EC12 provides the ability to get more work done, in less time, more efficiently than ever before.

About a week ago, in part 1 of this two-part blog entry, I described a situation I've encountered several times at mainframe DB2 sites over the past 20 years: CICS users complain of elongated response times for DB2-accessing transactions, and these users' complaints are backed up by CICS monitor data that indicate elevated "wait for DB2" times as being the cause of the performance degradation.

This week, Google announced they had moved Google+ for Apps into what they call "full preview mode". If you are an existing Google Apps customer you can ask your administrator to switch the preview on or simply sign up for a trial account to check out this new feature. This is an important move for Google, as it adds another features to compete against Microsoft's Office 365 (with a possible combination with Skype & Yammer) and others such as IBM Smart Cloud and Zoho.

This isn't as odd as it sounds, since the beauty of the spreadsheet on a PC is that people use them in many different way - I know someone who even uses them for basic wireframing!
