Lately there has been a lot of buzz around HTML5 Web Sockets, which defines a
full-duplex communication channel that operates through a single socket over
the Web. HTML5 Web Sockets is not just another incremental enhancement to
conventional HTTP communications; it represents a colossal advance,
especially for real-time, event-driven web applications.
HTML5 Web Sockets provides such a dramatic improvement from the old,
convoluted "hacks" that are used to simulate a full-duplex connection in a
browser that it prompted Google's Ian Hickson - the HTML5 specification lead
- to say:
"Reducing kilobytes of data to 2 bytes...and reducing latency from 150ms to
50ms is far more than marginal. In fact, these two factors alone are enough
to make Web Sockets seriously interesting to Google."

iPad on Ulitzer
To borrow a line from Scrooge, "I'm as giddy as a drunken man." With today's
Apple iPad intro, it feels like Christmas.
I was glued to Engadget's live blogfeed of the announcement. Apple is
leveraging its iPhone technology in a new tablet format, adding bells and
whistles like unlocked, no contract, and cheap 3G data plans, a keyboard dock
and the iBookstore.
But once again, as we've seen in the past with Apple, the whole is larger
than the sum of the parts. In the tech industry we pay homage to "innovation"
as the ultimate springboard for leadership positioning ... (more)

fast-emerging Cloud ecosystem - a CEO who has taken an interesting and
unusual decision. While signing up as the Platinum Plus Sponsor of the 5th

completely anonymous - well for just over two more weeks anyway!
All will be revealed only just before the sell-out event. As of today, that
revelation will take place in 13 days' time. Who or what might this company
might be, only seasoned industry analysts can even guess at, let alone know.

Entrepreneurial opportunities abound as this classic disruptive technology begins to proliferate, so it is no surprise that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Expo is going from strength to strength. Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 12,174  By Ellen Rubin The talk at the Cloud Computing Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so, who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are being tested? To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle. Since so much has been written and discussed about the cloud in 2009, there is now a growing impatience for actual results. Reads: 7,851  By Bill Roth The most anticipated talk of the day yesterday, at the 4th International Cloud Expo, was by the deputy CIO of the CIA, Jill Singer. Her talk was entitled, "Enterprise Cloud Computing, the Infrastructure’s Final Revenge." She acknowledged the problem with defining Cloud Computing, and then went on to give her paragraph-length definition of “the cloud”. Her talk focused on the part of the Cloud behind the firewall. “Today’s CIO must increase the flexibility of the infrastructure,” said Singer.

Reads: 8,188  By John Savageau Having gone through a couple of decades worth of technology conferences, a familiar cycle occurs. For the first couple years, technology-related conferences are attended by engineers and operations people. Only after the technology has passed a couple of feasibility gates and begun to hit the business cycle do sales and marketing people take over. Cloud is now officially past the engineering phase, well into the sales phase – and the business community is scrambling to understand the implications of a virtualized world.

Reads: 7,028  By Fuat Kircaali As of January 2010, we booked more revenue for 2010 than the entire fiscal year 2009 actuals, including unearned income with record sponsorship sales for Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West and Cloud Expo Europe events.
Our revised revenue projections for 2010 is on track for an all time record revenues since our company's inception in 1994, including media sales up in January from a year ago.
As I made a reference to sponsorship and expo sales, I encourage all our sponsors to take contract option 2 which includes Cloud Expo 2010 East (New York City), Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), and Cloud Expo 2010 West (Silicon Valley, California) events. Reads: 3,531  By Carmen Gonzalez Since we announced Cloud Expo three years ago in 2007 and launched it in March of 2008 in New York City, I have been personally working with the companies that are in leadership positions as the Cloud technologies form.
Today, we have close to a 100% resign rate among our sponsors for the upcoming Cloud Expo, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
