Sun: Increasing demand needs brutal efficiency!



And even brasher,"rock hard effectivity"! Efficiency has been the slogan for the organizationalists! Love thy colleague, no problemas if things don't work out, tomorrow is another day. But if your clients are not responding to your "conventional marketing" and are responding faster to the new kid on the block whose pitch is pretty much at the whims of the client/customer using a highly adaptable "aspirational marketing strategy", then I wonder what message are you going to take back to your share holders and investors. I mean you bosses ;)

So what is it like being brutally efficient? Solid and robust flexibility! We all need that as customers. That was also apparently the hot topic at the SAS (Sun Analyst Summit) 2007. Forget paradigm shift , its just plain old tectonic shift. Adapt or disappear in that gaping hole. Thats the message.

It's hard to argue with Sun's view of where computing is heading, although "brutal" efficiency sounds like a torturous path as opposed to say, "extreme" efficiency. The issue for Sun is whether the company will be able to intercept the insatiable demand for compute power with what is basically utility computing infrastructure.

In his presentation, Papadopoulos submitted that most enterprises are over-served by Moore's Law. Consolidation, virtualization and more power efficient components are the dominant activities as enterprises try to reduce costs for core applications and services.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Wall Street pillars come crashing down: Lehman Brothers file Bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch sale to Bank of America; AIG heading for bankruptsy

This is a shocking day, we thought someone would have pulled Lehman, Merrill Lynch like Bear Stearns, Freddie, Fannie. But it is shaking time! We have some tough challenges here. Get ready to stand up on your own! Expect real harsh conditions in 2009! A stunning makeover of the Wall Street landscape sent stocks falling precipitously Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials sliding 500 points in their worst point drop since the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Investors reacted badly to a shakeup of the financial industry that took out two storied names: Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch Co. Stocks also posted big losses in markets across much of the globe as investors absorbed Lehman's bankruptcy filing and what was essentially a forced sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America for $50 billion in stock. While those companies' situations had reached some resolution, the market remained anxious about American International Group Inc. , which is seeking emergency funding to shore...
