Financial Times taps Jobs as Person of the Year

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Never mind Mark What’s-His-Name, The Financial Times, Britain’s equivalent of The Wall Street Journal, has handed its Person of the Year crown to Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO and onetime tech wunderkind turned comeback player of the quarter century.

Saying this year’s unveiling of the iPad “capped the most remarkable comeback in modern business history,” the FT noted Apple’s Jobs-led bounce-back from its near demise in the ’90s, as well as the visionary leader’s perseverance through his recent struggles with cancer. In terms of Silicon Valley lore, the publication said, Jobs now shares the stage with no one.

10 Things We Want to See in Chrome OS

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Thanks to a mysterious invitation sent out to the media last week, there’s widespread speculation that Google will announce, or maybe even release, the desktop OS it’s been talking about for over a year. The company has said that Chrome OS will launch before the end of 2010. But one has to wonder about the need for the operating system with the same name as the browser, since touch tablets have successfully been introduced running mobile OSes like Google’s own Android and Apple’s iOS.

If the target is netbooks, as Google execs have implied, then good luck to Google: The market unanimously rejected a non-market-leading OS when Linux netbooks were offered a couple years ago and quickly updated to run Windows XP. And Chrome OS is basically the Chrome browser running atop a Google-customized version of Linux. For those who simply want to browse the Web, watch online videos, and perhaps do a bit of work on documents, there’s no reason why a lightweight Web-centric OS shouldn’t be welcomed.

Silverlight, HTML5, and Microsoft’s Opaque Development Strategy

Friday, November 5th, 2010

At the Professional Developers Conference 2010 (PDC10) last week, a Microsoft executive misspoke, or at least over-generalized, regarding the software giant’s plans for HTML 5 and Silverlight, kicking off an online debate about the viability of the respective technologies and a hasty public statement on Microsoft’s corporate website. But this episode underscores a much deeper problem around compatibility that is going to dog businesses of all sizes for years to come—a situation that will only be exacerbated by the popularity of heterogeneous smartphone platforms.
