  • The money quote: “The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women’s fashion.” I agree to some point – locking into a cloud provider is no different than locking into Oracle / SAP contract. We need a mechanism to ensure that our data stays ours no matter who the provider is at the moment.
  • Why is everybody still making another photo sharing app after another? Are there any other use cases for mobile? It shouldn’t take a credit crisis for us to start getting serious. Can’t wait for Web 3.0 (apps with value AND a pricelist) to come.
  • Interesting discussion, esp. for anyone trying to make a dime by selling software in the economy of “free”. I am strongly convinced that we’ll be seeing less “free” in the very near future. Nothing trumps “value for money”.
  • Perhaps. The problem of this (and many other lofty ideas) is that they haven’t been inspired by a real, dire need of actual people. But then, ideas and ideals do sometimes generate real, actual needs. Pick your side.
