...and they're giving Surface Pro 3 to 6 lucky beta testers. Sounds intriguing, especially for a v1 release. I listened in to a portion of their Webinar today, and wanted to share some initial impressions, based on what I heard so far. I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but Andreas …
Previously, VMware's beta programs were mostly limited to folks who work in large enterprises that were members of the VMware Partner Programs, or perhaps vExperts. Everybody else was likely out of luck, as far as the ability to sign up. Until now. On June 30 2014, VMware announced: Now Open: V…
Google Events, wow! What a polished and simple way to pull together all the pieces for a broadcast. Invitations, calendar coordination, RSVP, private conversations for show-prep, and finally, auto-publication of a really nice YouTube video from this "Hangouts On Air" experience. Point and…

I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
