I thought I would continue my Mike Rothman Daily Incite series today.  The only dangers I can see in this are I might start getting grumpy and give up meat!  But hey Fake Steve Jobs stopped blogging, maybe I can be Fake Mike Rothman.  Seriously, this format allows me to comment on a bunch of diff...

Over the last two days, I've seen a plethora (yes, Jefe, a plethora) of trade rag and blog articles espousing that The Cloud is more secure than an enterprise's datacenter and that Cloud security concerns are overblown.  I'd pick these things apart, but honestly, I've got work to do. <sigh> H...

This InformationWeek article took artistic license to lofty new levels in a single sentence as it described the demise of Cloud Computing PaaS vendor Coghead and the subsequent IP/Engineering purchase by SAP: Bad news for cloud computing: Coghead -- a venture-backed, online application development ...

I've waffled on how, or even if, I would write my critique of the Berkeley RAD Lab's paper titled "Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing."  I think I've had a hard time deciding where the authors have their heads, hence the title.  Those of you who know me are probably chuckling at ...

Okay.  I am teh lam3r.  I'd be intellectually dishonest if I didn't post this, and it's likely I'll revise it once I get to think about it more, but I've got to get it down.  Thanks to an innocent tweet from @botchagalupe I had an aneurysm epiphany.  Sort of ;) A little light went on in my head...

If I may be as bold to call Andy Jaquith a friend, I'll do so as I welcomed both his first research report and blog as an analyst for Forrester.
