The eminent Martin Fowler recently wrote about the importance of not being afraid to bin old solutions and implement brand new architecture. Should IT architects leave old solutions or start fresh? "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

"As the World Burns"? Has a nice ring to it.

Google's mobile operating system is still the dominant smartphone platform in the US, with a 52 percent share of the market, says research firm ComScore. "And when their battle droids are combined with yours, we shall have an army greater than any in the galaxy."

Globally, I assume Android is ahead by far. (remember numerous hardware manufacturers for Android compared to 1 hardware manufacturer for iOS )

For $25 a year, Google will keep a copy of any genome in the cloud. Think of it as a backup?
Also, "Gee, what's the worst that could happen?"

This is one thing I definitely prefer to keep open source

What's the best way to build an application that could do anything from control home appliances remotely to gather meteorological data from sensors to produce a weather forecast? Startups offering data ingestion platforms take much of the hard work out of developing for the Internet of Things. Step 1: Get a thing

Step 2: Call Mindfire - or not.

Researchers warn that web sites and apps communicating via WebRTC may have broader access to computer microphones and cameras than users realise. "You didn't hear it. You didn't see it. You won't say nothing to no one."

The CERN particle collider is 17 miles long. China just announced a supercollider that is supposed to be roughly 49 miles long. The United States' new particle collider is just under 12 inches long. Guys, guys, guys. Size doesn't matter (it's the energy of your particles)

Only someone with a small particle collider would say something like that.

Amazon unveils Echo, a new cloud-connected home appliance that -- perhaps appropriately -- resembles a chamber. It's absolutely, positively not made entirely to get you to buy stuff (on Amazon)

Cloud pioneer Joyent throws down the gauntlet to the bloated world of OpenStack with fresh open source releases. I would have thought something called 'OpenStack' would have been open source for a while now

Today we’re taking the next major step to bring Office to everyone, on every device, and I’m excited to announce that Office apps customers love are coming to Android tablets with the start of our Office for AndroidTM tablet Preview. We’re also delivering Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps for iPhone® and updates for the iPad apps–to ensure a consistently beautiful and productive Office experience on every device. Our vision of Office everywhere wouldn’t be complete without Windows, so I’m pleased to confirm that new, touch-optimized Office apps for Windows 10 are in the works and we’ll have more to share soon. Everywhere you want it, and iOS too!

Of the many Platform-as-a-Service innovations Heroku has contributed in its seven year existence, perhaps the most iconic is git push heroku master. Today we’re announcing a significant upgrade to Heroku’s Git implementation: Beta support for Git’s HTTP transport.
HTTP Git has some notable advantages over traditional SSH Git. Instead of relying on port 22 (often blocked by firewalls) HTTP Git runs on port 443, the same port used for secure web requests.
Git it?

In his new book Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time, Jeff Sutherland explains how the Scrum framework can be used as a general business practice to accelerate work of all kinds. I've been doing that for years, just the other way around

There's a long and rather rambling (but entertaining) talk called Managers are from mars, employees are from venus[^] that shows how modern "scientific management" practices evolved and how they are completely wrong for a knowledge business.
In my opinion, rather than trying to organise your companies as if they were a production line through which projects flow with each employee doing their defined link in the chain, it is probably a better idea to see your company as a sports team - each with specialisms but all concentrating on the single objective and self organising/self managing and adapting to changing circumstances.

Starting from the 1980s, we have all known how to handle relational data – simply put it in a Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS) and use SQL to work with the data. For the past few years however, our industry has seen an increasing trend towards the usage of NoSQL databases, where data just isn’t stored like in relational databases. Why not both?
