Category: Internet & Cloud. This brand new thing: Internet & Cloud. Even though the technology is around for way more than 30 years, it is a never drying source of news and discoveries. The new channel of communication created a entirely new culture and created new  businesses, fueling innovation  and creativity.

All those things that clearly relate to something ‘new media’, items and thoughts that would not have been possible without the internet, will go here.

  • From the corporate

    “I use Excel as a database”.

    Excel is still the single most corporate productivity tool. And its still the most misuesd tool that keeps corporate going. @redfrog@mamot.fr summarised this abuse in a quick comic that in particular nerds can relate to.

  • Cloud Exit.

    It may be I’m not blogging enough. There is an article on this blog where I was skeptical over the cloud and why companies would want to move there. Meanwhile, all the benefits have been proven by vendors, up to the point where the convenience became too expensive.

    At that point, KPMG started offering “Cloud Exit Strategies“. Probably others. Consultancies will consult on everything they can sell to their clients, so this is a good indication for a market to start.

    Now the latest to add to this trend is 37signals, that is leaving the cloud. Successful.

  • Cyber-Recall

    “Website URL published on packaging has been compromised and contains explicit content unsuitable for children.”

    I am old enough to remember when the Internet and the web even more were the future. Now it’s a dystopian source of evil, leading to retailers recalling kids biscuits.

  • A punch in the face

    Sombody needs that right into their face. Sometime repeatedly.

    threat actor = someone who wants to punch you in the face
    threat = the punch being thrown
    vulnerability = your inability to defend against the punch
    risk = the likelihood of getting punched in the face
    acceptable risk = your willingness to be punched in the face

    from the tweet

    risk management = your ability to see the punch coming

    Also, Ricki Burke made the original Authors Casey Ellis tweet into T-Shirts:

  • Wie KI Kreative überflüssig macht

    Wir haben in schon wiederholt davon und mit Gästen darüber gesprochen. Seit Herbst vergangenen Jahres ist Generative AI in aller Munde. Die Meinungen der Debatte reichen weit auseinander. Es ist alles dabei von der besten Erfindung die die Menschheit jemals gemacht hat bis zu “wir werden alle sterben wenn die Maschine uns nicht duldet”.

    In der ARD Mediathek ist gerade eine sehr schöne Dokumentation, die das alles ein wenig einordnet, wenn man sich mit den Konsequenzen der Technologie einmal auseinandersetzen möchte.

    Bitteschön, hier der Link.
