   Yeah well, I don't understand that you don't understand. Understand?

   Maybe it's the fact the dude was speaking English. No that can't be it, we tentatively speak English too.....:eek:

   Unless I miss my guess, this puts us on a path to ruin.

   "Consumerization" huh? , So is that what you call it when you turn a corporate computer system into a glorified smartphone?

   First it will be touch enabled "Ultra Books". Then, they'll be gluing iPads onto the corporate mainframes, so the junior execs / iPhone test pilots will be able to have themselves a circle jerk, and disguise it as a "board meeting"....:oops:

   That was all Corporate IT Speak and mostly dream-ware.

   Try this;

   • Users want unrestricted connectivity (home, hotspot, business travel)
   • and the CIO demands security, privacy and accountability.
   • VPN setups take time and users want data now.

   Someone is dreaming of the day when you power-on a laptop and not only do you get the desktop in 10 seconds, but you're into the Corporate Infrastructure within another 10 seconds, all retaining the CIO's peace of mind.

   I'm still hoping that everyone will go into IT, evolution will eventually provide us with a smartphone instead of ears, and "Big Brother" will control the sole corporate mainframe.

   With everyone involved in IT, food production will be overlooked as too demeaning. Hopefully, the nerds and hipsters won't notice the impending world hunger event, and we as a species will die out.

   Just think, in another 300,000,000 years or so, the world's current carbohydrates will be raw crude oil once again, perhaps even enough to support a couple of hundred years of the second coming of a future human technological revolution. Bleak future? Meh, for me, not so much. In the intervening eons, no one will have to listen to the s*** that guy was pumping out, or every other DB whining because their computer takes more than ten seconds to boot.

   In the meantime, we should all relax, and curl up with a good book:

   As "currency" proliferates itself electronically, it will become completely abstract, and therefore invalid.and worthless. Think how much an iPhone will cost then, and how long you'll have to stand in line with a wheelbarrow full of "currency" to get one.

   Yeah, and it's a trick that's well past its prime.

   You've been watching too many GEICO TV ads. Plus I think the gecko's accent is

   Australian.

   A hearty "pip, pip, cheerio", does seem to validate whatever crap somebody wants to convince you about
