I went public last week with my opinion that IBM eventually will beat Amazon Web Services, even though Amazon won the first skirmish. I was referring only to the federal government, not the largely user-based market Amazon currently serves, but I was less than precise, and I can see why some took offense and disagreed with the broader statement I didn't intend to make.

My perception of social media changed a lot last week. I went from thinking of it as a sometimes helpful annoyance to a deadly hazard run by criminally negligent executives. Nearly getting kicked to death as a result of a Facebook post will do that to a person, I know that now firsthand ...

"It shouldn't take that much time if the technology as presented is viable," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times, but "it is likely they will run into unforeseen problems and I'd expect this date to move out as a result." Musk suggest...
