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.

Grid is a startup app for the iPad and iPhone designed around how people use these devices and spreadsheets themselves. This is the complete opposite to a solution that makes Excel available on a tablet or smartphone. At this stage the ability to actually perform calculations is a future feature. 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!
