You probably noticed a news in the object database market: On December 1, 2008 "Versant acquired the assets of the database software business of privately-held Servo Software, Inc. (formerly db4objects, Inc.)".What`s the meaning of this acquisition?
Most of the time it is difficult to gather good technical information on products, without marketing or sales hype.I therefore decided to create a series of product reports on some of the leading Object Database Systems around.For that, I have prepar
This is a short note related to the OMG ODBTWG meeting, on December 9, 2008.During the meeting there was a consensus that the OMG's Semantic Meta Object Facility (“semantic MOF” or “S-MOF”) would be a good place to start for the object model

Today’s keynote presentation by Phil Schiller has been widely regarded as a relatively lackluster affair. That isn’t to say it went badly - I’m genuinely excited about some of the new software updates. But the Macworld keynote in years past has been home to some very major product announcements, including the Macbook Air, the MacBook Pro, and perhaps most notably, the first iPhone. Investors have learned to expect big things from Apple every January, and for at least the la

For the first time in Adaptive Path’s history, we’ve released our entire slate of in-person events for the year at the beginning of the year. (I say “in-person” because we’re still working on our virtual seminar lineup). I know it’s going to be a strange year for many folks, budget-wise, but we’re confident we have events that can satisfy various abilities of spend. And if you use the promotional code FOPM, you’ll get an extra 15% off!

Having recently been taken to task by a house guest for having low thread count sheets -- when she had actually been sleeping on high thread count sheets -- my suspicion that thread count was a false virtue finally found some proof by way of textile expert Mark Scheuer:
You call thread count a "marketing ploy." To prove it, you bought 20 different pillowcases from vendors you don't carry. What do they show about different fabrics or linens?
That Sferra's Grand Hotel's 200-count collection fe
There is a Santa Claus. There isn't a Santa Claus. The deal about Santa? The same goes for his elves, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, God, and the Halloween Ghosts and Goblins.
The Internet has many wonderful applications, but I doubt if people think of it as a romance platform, but it is.
Case in point. I was looking for some music to play for my friends on Twitter the other night, and I don't remember how I stumbled on this wonderful recording of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing Gershwin's Cheek To Cheek, but it is something else. I recommend putting aside a bit of time later if you don't have time now, and play it on a nice sound system, and get ready fo
As you may have noticed from some of my recent posts (here and here), I have been spending some time lately thinking about the ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3 transition. I am working on some stuff to make this transition easier (especially for non-developers), but I wanted to make a quick post and get the community’s input.
How can we make the transition from ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3 easier? I am specifically interested in input from anyone who does not consider themselves hardco
Not that Doc needs validation by the mainstream media, but I still think it’s pretty cool that the Washington Post has snagged one of his photos off of Flickr to illustrate their article about Dean Elena Kagan being selected as Obama’s Solictor General. (Of course that’s Jonathan Zittrain behind her.)
Dean Kagan is beloved at Harvard Law. Deservedly.

A friend recently pointed out a cool gadget to me that deserves a brief mention on this blog. It is a dog safety collar from Auroralites that uses electroluminescent ("EL") technology to provide a long-lived and bright safety light for your night-time walkies. The product is already being used by police, search & rescue, FBI, and other security K-9 teams, and is now also available for civilian use. The collar is shock proof, water resistant and soft, so they won't break teeth. They

Are you a software developer applying to a small company?
Here’s a tip from someone who has read thousands of resumes. When you’re applying to a startup, or a software company with less than, say, 100 employees, you may want to highlight the Banging Out Code parts of your experience, while deemphasizing the Middle Management parts of your experience.
When a startup CTO sees a resume that says things like:
Responsible for $30m line of business
Architected new ERP platform

David Luckham started a complexevents.com discussion on what lies in store for CEP in 2009. We won’t re-create that discussion, but instead look at probably the biggest challenge facing CEP: the terminology! There is nothing wrong or odd with businesses having complex (or abstract) events, and requiring detection of said events in a timely fashion with an appropriate reaction; however, many many applications already do this in some restricted way or other. So what differentiates CEP tech
I took these pictures at the Stanford Shopping Center during the week after Christmas. Money sure talks now…
There were a handful of stores without sales signs, but only one didn’t offer discounts and had lots of people in it. :-) We all definitely have our work cut out for ourselves in 2009. As a wise man once said, “Some things need to be believed to be seen.”
"Follow the money" is a common way experts rationalize human behaviors in economics, politics, crime and many other areas. This undeniable truth becomes even more relevant in an economic environment characterized by gloom and pessimism, such as the one we are currently experiencing.It is with this in mind that we are proud to announce that in the midst of one of the most difficult economic scenarios in history, JackBe received $5 Million in additional funding from its existing investors to expan
