As I See It: Behavioral Redlining
October 30, 2006 Victor Rozek
… Read more“We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files; we’d like to help you learn to help yourself.”
–Simon and Garfunkel
Ever since people began gathering information about each other, the gatherers have used the data to control and punish the gatherees. King Herod, for example, used census data to hunt down families with infants hoping to preempt the coming of Christ by killing all of the male babies in Bethlehem. For centuries thereafter, birth records were used to determine social status–noble or commoner, free or slave, tax beneficiary or tax payer-and to keep common

User-Capped i5 520s, SAP Solution Edition 520s Launched
October 16, 2006 Timothy Prickett Morgan
… Read moreWhen I wrote last week about upcoming System i5 servers that IBM was possibly going to announce in the future, I didn’t expect the announcements to come out that week. My sources were under the impression that it might happen before the end of the year, possibly with an announcement soon after that. Obviously, something has changed, and I think Big Blue has seen that moving to the Power5+ processors is not enough to make the i5 platform competitive with dual-core Wintel and Lintel platforms.
Whatever the cause, the good news is that IBM is acting. Last Tuesday, IBM quietly

Legacy Application Modernization Strategies Hinge on SOA
October 9, 2006 Timothy Prickett Morgan
… Read moreAberdeen Group has just completed a detailed study of the legacy application modernization plans of small, medium, and large enterprises, and not surprisingly, companies are looking to the services oriented architecture (SOA) approach to creating distributed applications to help them both modernize their legacy applications and to make their composite applications more flexible and therefore giving their businesses more agility. Some companies, however, are looking to simply get rid of legacy applications on mainframes, i5/OS and OS/400, and Unix servers to get rid of the legacy problem.
To reach the conclusions in a just-released report called The Legacy Application Modernization

AJAX and Java Use Growing Among Programmers
August 7, 2006 Dan Burger
… Read moreIf you’ve ever driven west across the Great Plains and caught your first glimpse of the Rocky Mountains, they don’t look that impressive from 75 miles away. But as time goes on and you get closer to them, they slowly begin to overpower the landscape. According to Evans Data, which recently released its latest Web Services Development Survey, Web services with Web 2.0 interfaces are on the rise much like the approaching Rockies.
Of particular note in this survey is the increased use of AJAX, the development technology that combines Asynchronous JavaScript and XML and that is a
