10% unemployment but H1B visas accelerating

Nice delusion buddy... Most IT shops are laying people off as fast as they can (even H1-B's these days), and SOA and "cloud computing" are just buzzwords for outsourcing, which has been shown to be a collosal failure for most businesses.

 

pitz, resistance is often the biggest impediment.

M's only saving grace against Google.

 

pitz, I wouldn't hire you with a 39-foot pole.

 

pitz, you gotta hang out with the suits more often and not the developers to see where we are going.

 

Lol, welcome to the Internet, TCP/IP, 1991 buddy.

There's nothing in those Microsoft documents that suggests anything really new and exciting.

The phrase "much ado about nothing" comes immediately to mind.

Being able to send a query to a SQL server located somewhere else on a network.....wow...now that's modern technology. LMFAO.

Maybe this 'cloud computing' stuff will convince CIO's who still run their companies on friggin dBase III that there's an 'upgrade' path. But any business that has a half-serious IT implementation won't fall for such a ruse.

And I think you'd be hard pressed to find many, if any enterprise applications that are actually CPU or hardware constrained these days, outside of the research realm. And it will be a cold day in hell before serious R&D companies outsource that stuff to external providers.

 

You mean the people who bankrupted the companies with their sheer and vast 'intelligence'?? Lol.

 

pitz, like I said, suits more, developers less. good luck. Don't be your own roadblock.

 

Last note Apple's failure/fad?

Apps. The browser is where it's at not apps.

 

pitz, your bringing personal emotion into your decisions. Not good for decision making and not good for trading.

 

Nice try at an insult -- but 'cloud computing' is an emotional thing -- a clear examination of the 'claims' made by its proponents show it to be nothing other than gimmickry, essentially a re-hash of the long-standing ability of individual computers to communicate over a network within software frameworks that have existed for well over two decades.

Just a new way of marketing software for vendors like Microsoft, and the outsourcing firms. Nothing more. Kind of like the medicine Viagra. Originally developed for heart troubles. Someone figured out that it helps expand blood vessels throughout the body. Expanded blood vessels = larger penis in people with mild circulatory impairment (ie: most fat men over 35!). Voila, the infamous penis pill with all its marketing was born! But was Viagra actually a new molecule? No. It was merely a product that existed on the market for years prior to being sold for what its so famous for..
