One big thing Ubuntu can teach Microsoft, Apple, and all CTOs
As a fan of Tech Republic (since 2007) and Ubuntu, I can only say wonderful things because they both make me a smarter and more productive geekette (it's a Mel-ism). So it's no surprise that this article totally grabbed my attention.
Tech-Republic: The Big Thing Ubuntu can teach MS and Apple(sort of).
Enjoy! And as always, if you get anything out of me passing on techy-nuggets, let me know!

iPad Release: Will it change technology as we know it?
I've been following some of the interesting points many "tech-telligence" organizations have been saying about the iPad release, Apple's newest computing device to enter the marketplace officially on Saturday, April 3, 2010.
PC Magazine has had multiple articles regarding the iPad, the latest is a tutorial of sorts on identifying which product is best for you...iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch? But the one that interested me was written by a Tim Bajarin titled "Apple's iPad will Kill Netbooks..." He states that for most market analysts, the netbook marketplace has already peaked and tablet technology will shake up the world of mobile computing. I won't repeat his whole article, but it did give me reason to pause and think about mobile computing and the effects this product could have on it, just in my own corner of the world.
PC World (Sister mag to Macworld) has an interesting review of the iPad and answers quite a few questions I had about the true functionality of the device. Questions like, can you run multiple applications at the same time or is there a glare factor when watching a movie or reading an eBook? Also, questions I had about the accessories too. Again, I'm not going to give all the answers in my post because that isn't the purpose of it. But feel free to read the article in the link above to make your own informed decision and maybe answer some questions you may have too.
KPCB's iFund initiative has dedicated 200 million dollars towards the creation of market-changing ideas that can be converted into apps for the iPad, iPhone and various other app-able devices because they see the future of these devices from a long term perspective. A whole new gaming platform is being born and many are jumping in early to be part of it.
A wise professor said recently, to be part of the technology revolution wave is to get involved early, get the edge on the competition and stake your claim in the marketplace. I believe the iPad is just that and the those who get in early will become part of the wave that is changing the future of personal computing/communication forever.
