There’s an interesting survey Business Week reports on today about how environmentally-conscious the largest consumer-oriented corporations are. And unfortunately some of our favorite names will probably have to be reconsidered if you really want to support only companies that try to fight global warming and preserve our planet as it is.
The study has been carried out by Ceres, an alliance of investors and environmentalists and has addressed the environment policies of 63 largest consumer and IT corporations in the world. [...]

The speculations about what HP, Intel and Yahoo are supposed to announce this morning started after a post on Techcrunch yesterday inviting the readers to guess what the announcement will be. It was obvious that it will be some research initiative for processing of large volumes of information but of course we could only guess.
Now we have the clarity - the three giants will be working on a joint initiative to research the potential of cloud computing. The [...]

It was a match made most begrudgingly by two clashing factions, and one which often seemed far too uncomfortable for all involved and more trouble than it was worth to keep together. But it was nonetheless a partnership widely viewed as a critical compromise that would have to be maintained, against all odds, if the grander mission both parties had publicly pledged strongly to was to be achieved.
Well, so much for the value of good will. It appears Intel [...]

The folks at Intel do a lot right for us tech-loving folk. They offer more powerful chipsets with ever increasing efficiency, allowing us to enjoy our Web apps and high-def Web video with greater speed and for longer stretches of time each and every year. It’s really a pretty great arrangement, if you ask me. Though they don’t get much time in the limelight, their work is certainly very much appreciated.
That said, they’re capable of mistakes. Their latest involves, surprisingly [...]

VoIP has thus far only become a serious player in the wired telecommunications industry. When it comes to things wireless, VoIP has yet to gain much ground.
That may soon change, however. Deutsche Telekom AG, a German corporation, is now leading a group of investors of Jajah, a startup (which went live in early 2006) that promises to save users a good amount of coin, particularly in instances of international spread, by routing calls via inexpensive VoIP connections. The latest round [...]

One of my favorite Web 2.0 initiatives has been the "One Laptop per Child" project. News today that Intel has developed its own version of an inexpensive laptop galvanized my opinion that big business would kill "Flipper" for a tuna sandwich.
Professor Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the OLPC initiative accused Intel of selling its own version in an attempt to drive the XO laptop out of markets. Intel's Chairman Craig Barrett responded to the allegation by claiming that Intel is only trying to [...]

Four Hundred Fifty Five million dollars. That’s the estimated investment made by venture capitalists in 79 Web 2.0 ventures, in the first three quarters of this year, based on a study by Dow Jones Venture One and Ernst & Young.
A related statistic – that Web 2.0 investments are 28% of an estimated $1.6 billion investment in technology startups – seems to be off. Intel’s venture capital arm is reported to have crossed the $1 billion mark; the bulk of it [...]

Kevin Murphy has recently shared about whether or not there is a #place for a feature on so-called Web 2.0 technologies in a serious enterprise IT magazine#.
If in the late 80’s and early 90’s, web developers were rushing for the goldmine when they went public, in this new era of web 2.0, everyone is rushing to dip in for a piece of the pie by developing great mashup tools and wishing to be acquired by either Google, Yahoo or MSN.
In [...]

Intel finally decides to join forces with the web 2.0 community to launch an intergrated suite, creating a family of interconnected services combined. It not only improves productivity and enables high-engagement marketing, it is comprised of business Web 2.0 capabilities from leading software companies that deal with blogs, wikis, RSS feeds reading, and RSS feeds management. These web 2.0 applications are actually being developed and combined into one piece by the SpikeSource.com. SuiteTwo is expected to be the answer for [...]
