Interesting inquiry with internal IT dept of a major cloud provider that wants to use AWS, and not their own company’s cloud service.

Even if folding your arms feels comfortable, resist the urge to do so if you want people to see you as open-minded and interested in what they have to say.
That one’s the worst! I want to cross my arms all the time to relax but I know that with all the pop-psychology over the years everyone “knows” that means bad things.

Silicon Valley is coming. There are hundreds of startups with a lot of brains and money working on various alternatives to traditional banking. The ones you read about most are in the lending business, whereby the firms can lend to individuals and small businesses very quickly and – these entities believe – effectively by using Big Data to enhance credit underwriting.

Sizing the PaaS Market
Fun with market sizing I’ve spent a lot of time over the years working with cloud market-sizings, and occasioanlly on them. They’re always a bit whackadoodle and can be difficult to pull apart.
