is Google Wireless the next big step

Google has been providing WiFi to Silicon Valley for quite some time, I would think with their fiber rollout the next big step could be to use the fiber as a backbone and provide WiFi.

From the Article it's not going to be Wifi but, more like cellular with a new frequency spectrum. Which is odd to change it up either way, especially since their target is cell phone users.

Data prisoning is a big deal. You need companies with clear paths to data migration. Something very important to ask when getting into a situation where a vendor holds your critical data.

I've worked on Stratus too!

When I was at AOL that's what was in use, I don't know what they use now, maybe old tires or something with boards screwed to them.

If they weren't with timewarner now they'd be using an abacus

They haven't been with timewarner for years

I don't know anyone using open source ERP's on a large scale yet, mainly because of the support contracts you get with enterpise commercial systems and with all or most of your companies data being in this system - you really want a support contract even with in house development incase something goes wrong.

Agreed, and even a lot of closed source ERPs like SAP don't scale worth a damn either, I think the biggest difference is with the support contracts people feel better, where as if you hit a scalability wall with OpenBravo or something, you're basically screwed unless you want to hire some Java programmers. Even if SAP takes 2 days to fix something, that's a lot better for a company than something never being fixed, or having to setup all the outsourcing/insourcing to fix some internally mangled Java app.

I also noticed the article doesn't mention and sources or any companies using open source ERP. And this is written by a guy who does Open source ERP Implemntation/customization so bias is likely.

I hear that... this is typical though. They'll ignore 500 fail cases and concentration on 2 use cases and call it success.

Sleeping with uppermanagement

A big company I worked at years ago, there was an employee sleeping with a under executive and basically got away with murder all the time, and this was against policy, and yet nobody ever did anything. This company is almost bankrupt today, I wonder why...

I'll show myself out.

snowed in

Yeah, those annoying slideshows are big cash grabs. Ten page visits for a tiny article with no content. They cost nothing to make and earn big bucks in ad revenue.

That's pretty much inevitable though, right? Look at any technology and you can pretty much apply this same logic to it. Though the time frame can fluctuate wildly.

Yup, pretty much.
