Comment on: Chrome Not Ready For Enterprise

7 hours ago - via FriendFeed MT Plugin - Link

A major problem for adaption of FF or Chrome in the enterprise may be the fact that most IT users don't have the option to install new applications on their desktops themselves and have to use whatever the corporate standard is, which is unfortunately IE. I suspect this is primary reason why awful IE v6 still has high share as well. It is true that many critical enterprise web apps require ActiveX and hence need IE, but this problem may be easier to solve. Given that Chrome is open source, someone can the necessary IE components within Chrome to work with pages that require ActiveX. I think Netscape has done something like this combining FF with IE engine. - berkay via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Comment on: Does Google Have Rights to Everything You Send Through Chrome?

Wednesday at 1:45 am - via FriendFeed MT Plugin - Link

This seems totally unnecessary/inappropriate. The services as Google refers to have their own Terms of Services which one has to agree to use them regardless of which browser they will use the services with. Why do it again in this browser. As others said, other browsers don't need this so hard to justify why Google needs it. My guess is that by services they refer to browser specific services like searching from the url bar etc. that is tied to google, if so, it should be a lot more restricted. Also, I find the "open source" part a bit confusing. What is open source and what is not? Is the whole browser code available as open source, or is it just components? What would it take to build an alternative binary without all this nonsense introduced with the ToS? - berkay via FriendFeed MT Plugin

the difference is that with chrome, as advertised, only the tab crashed not the browser. - berkay

and identified the crash reason as shockwave flash plugin http://screencast.com/t/wwFSV5... - berkay

Kirk's Rants: Open Source Business Strategies

Monday at 8:14 am - Link

So here's the deal. Let's say you're an open source company, and you're trying to figure out how to sell yourself to me in the Money (rather than the "hey, Kirk, try out Technology X") way. What you have to do is give me something tangible iff I give you money. It's just that simple. Split licensing doesn't work for us (and don't give me any crap about how there are multiple companies in any financial services organization and tech crossing financial boundaries and blah blah blah; it gets old for anything other than the most insane organizations). Support doesn't work for us. - berkay

An Army of Solipsists » Blog Archive » A Minimal Grails JMS Integration

August 29 at 12:30 am - Link

it uses an in-memory instance of ActiveMQ (so there’s no extra step of starting an external server) and configures a single queue, plus a single listener and a simple Controller method to send test messages. It doesn’t use the JMS plugin, but Spring’s excellent JmsTemplate makes sending message trivial. - berkay

ElasticVapor :: Life in the Cloud: The Standardized Cloud

August 21 at 4:53 pm - Link

The need for a distributed and optimized virtual network is an important aspect in any multi-cloud deployment. One potential direction could be to explore the use of VPN or VDE technologies. My preference would be to use VDE, (Virtual Distributed Ethernet). A quick refresher, a VPN is a way to connect one or more remote computers to a protected network, generally tunnelling the traffic through another network. VDE implements a virtual ethernet in all its aspects, virtual switches, virtual cables. A VDE can also be used to create a VPN. VDE interconnects real computers running (through a tap interface), virtual machines as well as the other networking interfaces through a common open framework. VDE supports heterogeneous virtual machines running on different hosting computers and could be the ideal starting point. Network shaping and optimization may also play an important role in the ability to bridge two or cloud resources. - berkay
