For years and years (and years) there has been talk about the digitalization of medical records to enable portability. There are three primary problems that obstruct this vision, the first being a somewhat murky legal and regulatory environment with regard to what are the implications of the many laws dealing with privacy, data, and medical [...]

Props to Coté for a coining a great term. His post on TechEd ’07 CommunityDay is interesting on a couple of levels, this caught my attention: For me, the most interesting aspect of the sessions was the hunger the audience generally had to get the code. For example, Thomas Jung demo’d a way to build [...]

But only in China. The price cut is the company’s latest effort to tackle the rampant software piracy in China, according to The Wall Street Journal.

It’s not often that you find such a remarkably well constructed discussion about making a platform selection that doesn’t actually have much to do with the technical aspects of the topic. "While I’d love to make a recommendation for one of these sexier frameworks, ultimately I’m going to recommend PHP and WordPressMU in this particular [...]

Jeremy Rustin sold his company to British Telecom, which at first glance may seem an improbable fit but when you consider the BT Workspace initiative it makes a lot of sense. Also, the fact that the team he will no doubt be a part of is based here in Palo Alto, well it’s actually a [...]
