Cloud Computing defined by Berkeley RAD Labs - O'Reilly Radar
I am pleased to finally have found a paper that manages to bring together the different aspects of cloud computing in a coherent fashion, and suggests the requirements for it to develop further. Written by the Berkeley RAD Lab (UC Berkeley Reliable Adaptive Distributed Systems Laboratory) the paper succinctly brings together Software as a Service with Utility Computing to come up with a workable d
The Kindle Hardware Tax - O'Reilly Radar
There’s a lot of news about Amazon’s new Kindle 2 today, and it does look like a nice upgrade. I still don’t want one, though. What I want is Kindle software. I’m hoping the early suggestions that Amazon is thinking that way prove true. I use my iPhone for ebooks all the time now. I buy through Stanza, a very nice app, which is backended into Fictionwise. The buying experience between the two is p
Understanding Web Operations Culture - the Graph & Data Obsession - O'Reilly Radar
Understanding Web Operations Culture – the Graph & Data Obsession We’re quite addicted to data pr0n here at Flickr. We’ve got graphs for pretty much everything, and add graphs all of the time. -John Allspaw, Operations Engineering Manager at Flickr & author of The Art of Capacity Planning One of the most interesting parts of running a large website is watching the effects of unrelated events affec
The Kindle: "Looks Like a Million to Me" - O'Reilly Radar
Evan Schnittman of Oxford University Press has a fascinating blog post Looks Like a Million To Me: How I Realized that Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s E-Reader Were Exceeding Sales Estimates, which calculates the combined number of Sony Reader and Kindle units out there to be a million by the end of 2008: Amazon and Sony both use the 6-inch electrophoretic display (EPD), also known as an e-ink screen.
Where 2.0 Keynotes: EveryBlock, Nokia, FortiusOne - O'Reilly Radar
Highlights from today's keynotes: Everyblock (Adrian Holovaty): EveryBlock is an "experiment" that attempts to redefine the boundaries of journalism. Adrian devoted his talk to sharing some of the lessons they learned while building the EveryBlock site: Instead of depending solely on user-generated data, take advantage of existing data: In EveryBlock's case, they rely heavily on data published by
Nice Slashdot Review of Programming Collective Intelligence - O'Reilly Radar
Checking the Amazon bestseller list recently, I was delighted to see Toby Segaran's Programming Collective Intelligence back among the top ten computer books on Amazon's Computer and Internet bestseller list. The book made it as high as #2 or #3 when it was published last year, but it's great to see it hitting the top of the charts again. Turns out the jump was the result of a new Slashdot review
The Economics of Disaggregation - O'Reilly Radar
Peter Brantley pointed on a private email list to "a nice article in slate on the disaggregation of content in newspapers, with several nice insights, including a remark on the lack of novelty of some of the problems facing the industry." He quoted: "Fresh thinking about what ails newspapers arrived in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, where staffer William M. Bulkeley contributed a column titled "
Mobile 2.0: Nokia launches WidSets - O'Reilly Radar
Nokia today announced the release of WidSets, a mobile widget platform available for Java MIDP 2.0 phones, including of course non-Nokia phones. Put short, WidSets is for the mobile what Netvibes is for the browser. I've played around with WidSets for an hour on both my SonyEricsson K750i as well as a more recent - and higher resolution - Nokia N80, and I must say that I am impressed. Even at the
The Economist on Life 2.0 - O'Reilly Radar
(Personal comment: I first wrote a draft for this post a week ago when I originally read the leader (Playing Demigods) for the Economist report in question. I'm now sitting in a delivery room at a Copenhagen Hospital, waiting for the arrival of my third child. Synthetic biology/life seems so akward in a situation like this, yet it just might be a significant part of my son's life-long well-being.)
The Future Belongs to Data - O'Reilly Radar
Savanna [08.09.05 01:05 PM] i *definitely* agree with that. =) all those futuristic sci-fi books about a huge interconnected data net is sorta slowly becoming reality. what i think would be *really* kewl...is since we already have xml/rss/atom stuff with trackback features on blogs and the like for communication, to see when we get that with audio/video at some point. podcasting is of course picki
Remaking Advertising As Conversation - O'Reilly Radar
Doc Searls famously remarked that "markets are conversations." It seems to me that advertising ought to be a conversation as well. Only it's normally a conversation with a bore (or a drunk) at a cocktail party, someone who backs you into a corner, talks incessantly about himself, and laughs too loud at his own jokes. When I first imagined web advertising back in 1993, I had this idea that advertis
Advertising as Conversation, Part Two - O'Reilly Radar
A few days ago, I wrote about the need to rethink web advertising. Sponsored editorial sites like the Borland Risk Management Center on O'Reilly's OnJava.com are a step in the right direction, providing rich content rather than just slogans. These are akin to television "infomercials," a proven and effective advertising format. However, companies can get even better results if they are willing to
Podcast support in next version of iTunes - O'Reilly Radar
At the Wall Street Journal's D Conference, Steve Jobs tonight showed ipodder-like features in the next release of iTunes, supposedly available within about 60 days. I was glad to see this, since the "architecture of participation" has been the only one of the big Web 2.0 themes that Apple had seemed to be missing. He was slightly dismissive of populist podcasting, describing it as "Wayne's World f
Firefox vs. IE in O'Reilly Network Logs - O'Reilly Radar
This morning, I received email from Paul Graham in response to a press release we'd just sent out about our new book on switching to Firefox, called Don't Click On the Blue E!. Paul wrote: Here's a statistic that might interest you. Of the visitors to ycombinator.com, who are mainly young hackers, the breakdown in browsers is: Firefox 47.7%, MSIE 23.2%. So in this audience Firefox is already more
Ten--No, Eleven--Years of Internet Advertising - O'Reilly Radar
A few weeks ago, DoubleClick published a report entitled Ten Years of Online Advertising(PDF). It has some interesting stats on the growth of internet advertising over the past decade, and some keen observations about the current internet advertising landscape. In 2004, the report notes: advertisers in the U.S. market spent $9.6 billion on Internet ads, according to the Interactive Advertising Bur
