AOL Replaces IE with Netscape in New BetaI think it's interesting that AOL's finally prepared to "bet the company" on its own alternative to IE. I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that "Mozilla now supports SOAP." (quoted from Mozilla 0.9.9 Release Notes - What's New)

AOL's finally got a browser platform that can act as a web services "user agent", opening new opportunities for their users and content providers that parallel (or perhaps even exceed) those promised by Microsoft with .NET.

Expect more news on this in the next year...

Sad Day For Microsoft: 5,000 Laid Off, Earnings And Revenues Down
It would seem, seeing this headline, that even the tech sector is unable to avoid the consequences of this economic downturn.  When even bellwether Microsoft must slash jobs, it must be impossible to create a sustainable business model that has the elasticity to weather a severe economic slowdown.
Then again, there's this:
Apple made $10 billion, sold 88% more iPhones than last year
and this:
Apple Reports First Quarter Results - Best Quarterly Revenue and Earnings in Apple History
I believe Apple has established a management and operations pattern that may prove a model for sustainable business operations that, while not necessarily immune to economic trends and conditions, could prove more stable and thus less prone to the "hire wildly then lay off" pattern so many companies and industries seem subject to.
Is Apple an enigma, or a new business model?  Share your comments.

Bless me Father, for I have not blogged

With the exception of yesterday's post about Mac OS X and Windows 7, it's been over a year since I last blogged here, and nearly two years since I've posted anything technical. I went underground during that time, focusing on writing intranet blogs and articles and neglecting the "real world." As of today, I no longer have an intranet to blog to (I was laid off), so it's time once again to turn my attention to what's going on out here on the big, bad Internet.

Watch this space in coming days for my thoughts on Apple products, personal productivity in the enterprise, mobile and remote workforce technology, and virtualization (along with meanderings into a wide variety of other topics).
