What’s new in VMware vSphere 5.1 vmware.com/files/pdf/prod…

Just had to do a mass unfollow of about 400 people on Instagram. Became way to hard to follow people I actually knew.

#VMword3Word Maybe Next Year

From last year, but still some of the most insane FUD I’ve ever seen - ESX is dead, instead of ESXi switch to XenServer blogs.citrix.com/2011/07/29/esx…

People confusing Neil Armstrong with Lance Armstong. Ugh. Not even in the same level. No one ever accused Neil of cheating… oh wait.

ONE BILLION DOLLARS! #DrEvil

Apple v Samsung, forget the Obamacare SCOTUS ruling, this is where the action is people!

I can’t tell you when the last time I did an actual in-place upgrade of a Windows install was.

VMware to Embed EMC: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road AKA “it’s the platform, stupid” speakingintech.com/vmware-to-embe…

I don’t know that I’ve ever had a phone as long as I’ve had my iPhone 4. I need a new phone, now.

VMware Fusion 5 is out! vmware.com/products/fusio…

Science is hard… GOP lawmaker: Virtually impossible to get AIDS through heterosexual sex rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/26/…

Larger picture on LinkedIn is more attractive in terms of identifying people, but thats not really the value I get out of their profiles.

I’m feeling a good old fashioned Facebook purge coming on. Best to so these things when I’m in a poor mood so I don’t hesitate on “Unfriend”

If Twitter stepped up their game they wouldn’t need to create rules that stifle innovation. People would just want to use their products.

And with that update, I get an email that my app[.]net account account is active.

Twitter signals new limits for app developers, more control for itself theverge.com/2012/8/16/3248…

Speaking of Microsoft TechNet, they just called to renew mine. $149 for another year. Sign me up!

VMware needs a program similar to Microsoft TechNet. I should be able to lab out their products without jumping through evaluation hoops.

Like when we’d all complain about seeing 2000/XP elements in Vista/7. I don’t understand why Microsoft sucks at that part.

There is still a lack of GUI polish on Windows 8 desktop. Only now it’s seeing Vista/7 elements in Metro style interface.

ARM Goes 64-bit realworldtech.com/arm64/

For most of us Java is a necessary evil, but at least now Mac users can get the full fledged version from the source oracle.com/technetwork/ja…

Finishing a copy job from my Windows 7 VM then I’m removing it from Fusion inventory. Forcing myself to use Windows 8.

Stupid question, how do you delete a live tile on Windows 8 start menu?

Still don’t see the need for metro apps on business PC (especially VM) but whatever.

I think I like the RTM a lot better than any of the previews. I think the finalized desktop polish makes it seem a little less jarring.

People still do 32-bit Windows installs? I mean, yeah on XP, but on 7 or 8? I would have figured they’d kill that by now.
