- I have known Ramesh Jain for almost a decade. It is always fascinating to interact with him, see the work he is doing and see the future through his eyes. Gartner has an interview with him. Excerpts: It started to become more and more clear that because of Gutenberg's revolution, systems designers generally think in terms of alpha-numeric information, but in our lives, there are lots of different data sources - audio, visual, tactile. |

- Phil Wainewright writes: Instead of thinking in terms of monolithic computing services, think of choosing among an almost limitless universe of service options. Connecting to the wall socket will open up access to a global market, in which every resource can find its most efficient level.

- News.com writes about Sun's plans to use its SunRay line for the home segment and airplanes: Sun Microsystems will work with telecommunications companies to offer a SunRay device that could replace desktop home computers, the company said last week. Instead of a hard drive, the SunRay computer uses remote servers for software and data storage, accessed using a high-speed Internet connection. Network computer products along these lines have failed in the past, but Sun argues that a key problem before was a lack of bandwidth, which is now widely available through DSL (digital subscriber line) and cable broadband. |

Wrote Jeffrey Sachs in an article entitled “Welcome to Asia’s Century” recently: “By 2050, China and maybe India will have overtaken the US economy in size.” He adds: “When poorer countries like China and India are relatively well managed politically and economically, they tend to grow more rapidly than richer countries. |
