Global Economy & Obama: My prediction on what is going to happen to business in 2009!

I had predicted in Jan 2008 about the big contraction, an implosion, the blackhole effect. I had predicted September and it happened.

Watch the video yourself (Watch from 3:50 minutes onwards).

Although it talks about the democratization of a building block we call virtualization to the Cloud Computing model, it refers to all the other industries as well, that are betting high on increasingly commoditizing markets and businesses.

Now, my prediction series, as promised earlier, will come for the next 9 months. Today, I will start with the articles talking about the impact the continuing contraction of industries will have on firms, both larger and smaller. As revenues dwindle, suppliers will have to craft some contingent strategies and will have to take fundamental decisions, if not radical, to change their direction and approach.

As new trends and models emerge and as they aggressively intensify, I predict a major contraction coming in the next year, don't worry we will throw some research articles and sheets to explain that as well. A detailed article, which will not only talk about hard times for the ones who aren't paying attention, but also a typical bailout plan for the ones who are willing to listen to the new generation. I also predict that Obama will prove to be a strong supporter of innovation and fundamental change, not just internally but also towards the global community.

We are the new generation and we will have to take up this responsibility now. The time is now!

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.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
