Gartner Reveals Top 10 Technologies For Next Four Years

Dr. Jim writes "The good folks over at the Gartner Group have revealed the top 10 technologies that they believe will change the world over the next four years. The usual suspects including multi-core chips, virtualization, and cloud computing are on the list. Multicore servers and virtualization will mean that firms will need fewer boxes, and apps can be easily moved from box to box (and right out the door to an outsourced data center). Workplace social networks and cloud computing means that the need for a centralized IT department will go away. Firms will no longer need to own/maintain the boxes that they use to run their firm's apps. With no need to touch a box, there will be no need to have the IT staff co-located with the boxes."

McCain: Telecoms Need to Apologize For Wiretap Immunity - Bells need to earn billion dollar gift with a little stage show...

I've talked at length about how Verizon, AT&T and Sprint have spent billions lobbying Uncle Sam for retro-active legal immunity for their decisions to hand over user data wholesale to the NSA without a warrant (or judicial oversight). Wired reports that Presidential candidate John McCain, who already voted for immunity, would now only support immunity for the telecoms "unless there were revealing Congressional hearings" and "heartfelt repentance."

Networking 101: Understanding IP Addresses

Networks don't work without addresses: Whenever you are sending something, you need to specify where it should go and where it came from. To be an effective network engineer or administrator, you need to understand IP addresses backward and forward: you need to be able to think on your feet. If something breaks, likely as not some address assignment has been screwed up. And spotting the problem quickly is likely to be the difference between being the hero, or the guy who "takes a long time to fix the problem." Before covering subnetting in the next Networking 101 installment, we'd like to thoroughly explore IP addresses in their primal form. This is crucial to understanding subnets.

Figuring capital gains tax on a rental

My question is about how to plan for the amount of capital gains tax that we will need to pay when we file our 2008 taxes on a rental property. I also need clarification if I need to pay an estimated tax this year before we file for 2008. We bought our house in December 1985 for $69,000 and sold it in February 2008 for $239,000. We lived in the house from December 1985 to May 1997 and rented the upstairs apartment only.

Scaling Large Projects With Erlang

Delchanat points out a blog entry which notes, "The two biggest computing-providers of today, Amazon as well as Google, are building their concurrent offerings on top of really concurrent programming languages and systems. Not only because they want to, but because they need to. If you want to build computing into a utility, you need large real-time systems running as efficiently as possible. You need your technology to be able to scale in a similar way as other, comparable utilities or large real-time systems are scaling — utilities like telephony and electricity. Erlang is a language that has all the right properties and mechanisms in place to do what utility computing requires. Amazon SimpleDB is built upon Erlang. IMDB (owned by Amazon) is switching from Perl to Erlang.

iPhone App store; why do we need 10 tip calculators?As I posted yesterday, I updated my first generation iPhone to the 2.0 firmware and started trying out 3rd party applications from the App Store.

Browsing through the iPhone App Store was fun, interesting, and a bit frustrating and I came away with a few impressions.
