Not Your Parents' Pattern Library: A Fresh Approach in Defining Cor... Special Post – Why the Big Four are not on my latest Top 10 LMS List. Since my Top 10 list of LMS vendors has been posted online, I have received quite a bit of e-mail wondering why the biggest names: Cornerstone On Demand, Saba, SumTotal and SuccessFactors are not on the list.
A LMS should first be a LMS When I talk about a LMS, I am saying specifically a learning management system and the vendors themselves should see their own product first and foremost as a LMS, not as a TM/PM or whatever. You can have TM features – regardless if it is an add-on or included (turn on/off), but it shouldn’t really be the core. Best Selling doesn’t mean the Best There is a wide assumption that if a product sells a lot it means that it is better than anyone else. Yet if you look at the marketplace of any consumer product you will see that is not always the case. The car company Honda is listed as a best seller. From a general product standpoint, go take a look at Amazon.com or Consumer Reports.

Internet Explorer is slowly, slightly, but significantly changing the Web. Tuesday, Microsoft released a preview of IE10 running on Windows 7, as expected -- the same version that’s available for the new Windows 8, but translated into the older Windows 7. At the same time, executives with Microsoft’s IE team made the case that content providers have begun incorporating IE10-specific features into their sites, which would benefit those surfing on Microsoft’s latest OS, Windows 8, which has IE10 built in. The move may be a response to Google’s Chrome, whose download page tells people to “get their Google back.” Google released both Google search apps and Chrome for Windows 8 last month, as well as a Windows RT-specific search app on Monday afternoon.
But with just the tiniest change to the functionality of Etsy.com, Pulse.me, and MSN, Microsoft is signaling that IE 10 might be taking a small step toward a more useful, and Microsoft-centric, Web. Swiping To Save Time Is this revolutionary? Open Mobile: The Growth Era Accelerates. Executive summary Mobility is seemingly everywhere, and with the growing ubiquity comes a set of unique challenges for companies riding the mobile wave of opportunity.

The Great Disk Drive in the Sky: How Web giants store big—and we mean big—data. Consider the tech it takes to back the search box on Google's home page: behind the algorithms, the cached search terms, and the other features that spring to life as you type in a query sits a data store that essentially contains a full-text snapshot of most of the Web. While you and thousands of other people are simultaneously submitting searches, that snapshot is constantly being updated with a firehose of changes. At the same time, the data is being processed by thousands of individual server processes, each doing everything from figuring out which contextual ads you will be served to determining in what order to cough up search results.
That's not something that Google could pull off with an off-the-shelf storage architecture. And the same goes for other Web and cloud computing giants running hyper-scale data centers, such as Amazon and Facebook. The problem isn't simply an issue of disk read and write speeds. Then there's the cost of scaling up storage conventionally.
