I was intrigued to see over on Accountingweb a whole list of replies to what on the surface was a very simple question … “What is cloud Computing?” the rationale behind this question was also simple: Once we agree the definition of cloud computing, then we can have a more productive discussion in 2011!

I lost count of the number of times I heard or read that intro during 2010, You can only be Cloud if you’re a pure play SaaS application. You can only be Cloud if you run multitenant. You can only be Cloud if you run public cloud. You can only be Cloud if you’re application […]
Okay, so I’ve written a few posts on the iPad, iPod and the iPhone. I’ve ranted incessantly about the horrendous experience I had following the upgrade of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I still can’t believe how Apple got away with making so many peoples life a misery for so long. I’ve also written here about how […]

For years I used a blackberry with great pleasure… but a year or so ago, like many others, I was lured by the iPhone 3GS. I look back now and have to admit to being caught up in the gadget hype, and the “as someone who works in IT why are you still using that old Blackberry” conversations with friends. […]
I’ve been an iPad user since they were released and I have to start by saying it’s a great device as well as being a cool gadget… However, it will never replace my laptop… Why? Well let me start on a positive with what I like about it: The boot up time is excellent, log […]
