IBM Slashes Prices on Power Core Activations
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The U.S. economy may look like it is coming out of the Great Recession, at least according to the economists who work for Uncle Sam, who said last Thursday that gross domestic product in the States rose by a 3.5 annualized rate in the third quarter. That is better than the 2.7, 5.4, 6.4, and 0.70 percent declines that mark the trough of the Great Recession in the prior four quarters, for sure. But very few people--including economists and server makers--think the recession is really over. And hence, they wheel and deal. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: Can Mashups Save the Advanced Economies?
by Hesh Wiener
IBM wants to be your mashup company. Of course, it helps if you know what IBM means by mashup. It also helps if you prefer to pay for development and testing services sold by Amazon. Try not to let the free starter services offered by Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft's Bing distract you. IBM might be onto something good. And if you have to pay a little extra, well, what's new about that? But I'm getting ahead of the story. So, let's start at the end. READ MORE >

Soltis Says iManifest Needed to Promote IBM i
by Dan Burger
Who's going to tell the story of what the IBM i can do? You can bet your database it's not going to be IBM. Platform-specific marketing is not the game plan at Big Blue. If you want i-centricity, you better look someplace else. That's brought us to iManifest, a plan in search of an organization, a structure, to help it fly. It's already off the ground in Japan, and last week the fledgling efforts in the United States got wings with the addition of Frank Soltis to the board of directors. READ MORE >
