Take-out or Dine in? Considering The Future of the Enterprise Portal « Oren’s Weblog. Take-out or Dine in? Considering The Future of the Enterprise Portal I am participating on a team that’s looking at candidate software for the UW enterprise portal. The software that MyUW runs on was written in-house here, back before the term “portal” was even used in this context, and it makes little sense to pretend it is cost-effective for us to continue to develop our own code when there are other platforms that are widely used and supported, like Liferay and uPortal. There are also new needs for a web platform that allows easy integration of related applications, most pressingly in the area of research administration.
That being said, I keep wondering whether the concept of an enterprise web portal even makes sense anymore. It is at least conceivable, if not a foregone conclusion, that the future of enterprise portals lies more in the direction of a distribution hub instead of a single site where people interact with all of their information and applications.

Slingshot (water vapor distillation system) Slingshot is a water purification device created by Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway PT.[1] Powered by a Stirling engine running on a combustible fuel source, it claims to be able to produce clean water from almost any source[2] by means of vapor compression distillation, requires no filters, and can operate using cow dung as fuel.
The name of the machine is a reference to the slingshot used by David to defeat Goliath.[3] In his TEDMED 2010 presentation, Kamen announced several goals for and characteristics of the machine:[4] five years of operation without overhaul or maintenanceuse less than a kilowatt of power (lower than the power consumption of a hair dryer)generate 1000 liters of pure water/day, enough for 100 people for hygiene and cookingmeets the U.S. pharmacopoeic standard for water for injectionsrequires no pre-treatment, pipelines, engineers, consumables (osmosis membranes, charcoal etc.), or installation permits.
