IBM Readies October Power Systems Announcements
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The word on the street is that IBM is gearing up for some new Power Systems announcements. The exact nature of the announcements is not clear, but I am hearing a little bit of this and a little bit of that about what Big Blue has cooking for its IBM i, AIX, and Linux customers who use Power-based systems. What I can tell you for sure that whatever Big Blue is up to, and contrary to what some of its own roadmaps have been pointing to, it is not calling it the Power7+ server refresh. READ MORE >

Speaking of IBM i Innovation . . .
by Dan Burger

A lot of people wouldn't pay attention to innovation if it walked into the room and sat down next to them. Some recognize it and cross to the opposite side of the street if they see it coming their way. A few treat it like it's their best friend. Who are these people and do you ever find them running an IT department in an IBM i shop? READ MORE >

Oracle Drives Java Technology Forward at Annual Conference
by Alex Woodie

One of the side benefits of Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems was it gained control over Java, and therefore gained a wedge against its Java-loving rival IBM Oracle CEO Larry Ellison declared victory over IBM Power Systems in the Java performance category at its Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco last week, while at the same time, Oracle and IBM teamed up at the nearby JavaOne 2011 conference to discuss the future of the world's most popular programming environment.

As I See It: The Other Final Frontier
by Victor Rozek

In its 123 years of existence, National Geographic magazine has explored some inhospitable landscapes. Intrepid adventurers have hacked across the Amazon jungle, inched their way through underwater cave systems on the Yucatan Peninsula, and pulled sleds in sub-zero temperatures through ice and snow until they ran out of North. But in this month's issue they tackle what may be the most impregnable and unfathomable landscape of all: The teenage brain. READ MORE >

Oracle Has Built A Modern, Cloudy AS/400
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

I just spent a week off and on with Larry Ellison, co-founder and chief executive officer at Oracle. I wasn't playing against him and tennis buddy and former Hewlett-Packard CEO, Mark Hurd, at the Pacific Athletic club, laughing about how the rest of the world lives. No, I was attending Oracle's OpenWorld customer conference, which besieged San Francisco last week with 45,000 attendees, and a bunch of announcements that preceded it. Luckily, I was attending these events through YouTube, from the comfort of my very own office. READ MORE >
