  • My iPhone 4 does all that I need it to do,
  • standing in line to buy something is less fun than watching reality TV,
  • I want to wait and see who's likely to win the 4G/LTE race, and most importantly,
  • ...Siri will be much more useful after millions of customers provide nine months of use and pattern data that Apple can use to make Siri truly useful when iPhone 5 (likely) launches next summer.

    1. Randy Bias blogs that AWS's runaway success in public cloud is due to design simplicity and giving developers a limited set of choices. Joe Brockmeier at ReadWriteWeb posted his own take on Randy's POV yesterday.

    2. It was fun connecting Cloudscaler David Bernstein with Ian Scales of TelecomTV for a chat in London last week. The interview is embedded below, in case you don't want to register.

    3. Troy Angrignon is participating in a webinar on Friday with Arista Networks and Taiwan gear maker Quanta Computer. It focuses on architecture and equipmente selection, along with some case studies. (By the way, Quanta founder Barry Lam has a nice tribute to Steve Jobs in the Bloomber Businessweek commemorative edition. (scroll) )
