Another year, another dollar… or something like that. It's time for an update on the 6 things I think I think for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) in the coming year!
1. Hybrid Cloud Computing
2012 Perspective: Hybridization WAS key in 2011 and I'm doubling down in 2012. If you've paid attention to the consolidation in the industry, you'd best do the same. The big boys are snapping up anything that smells like bridging the enterprise to the multi-tenant host. Look for this trend to intensify.
2013 Perspective: VMware buys DynamicOps. Red Hat buys ManageIQ. Cisco buys Cloupia. Consider the consolidation trend intensified. The big question for 2013 is what the big boys have in mind for the cool technologies they've acquired in 2012. Whatever they might have in mind, the signal from the customer is clear. Hybrid cloud computing is considered critically important to wide-scale adoption of cloud computing in general. As I highlighted earlier this year, as big as the cloud computing market is becoming it still pales in comparison to private IT operations. Hybrid cloud computing is correctly viewed as a technology tap to this underlying market.
2. Cloud Federation & Interoperability
2012 Perspective: I've spoken with some pretty big names in the business and scale is an issue with their regional plays in the market. The challenge in 2011 for cloud federation was the degree of difficulty associated with interoperability. There was much progress on this front in 2011 but I think before broad based federation goes from concept to reality there needs to be more plumbing. 2012 will be the year real interoperability tracks are laid as a foundation for scalable cloud federation.
2013 Perspective: We as an industry had the opportunity to lay down tracks for real cloud federation and interoperability at this time last year. What happened was rather disappointing. Basically, industry titans from OpenStack, Amazon, Citrix, and others all postured. I remember sitting in the crowd at GigaOm Structure when the first official shots were fired on the subject of API standardization. What could have been a wonderful opportunity to seize the moment and end vendor lock-in before it ever started in cloud computing, big vendors did what they do best. They opened up their respective Kimonos and bragged about the size of their case studies. What a (albeit entertaining) waste of time and opportunity.
Because we all anticipate the cloud market, particularly IaaS, growing at a serious CAGR in 2013 there will be growing customer pressure to allow the movement and billing transfer of workloads between independent cloud operators. The opportunity for a new or existing company to emerge with a solution to this problem will become significant in the coming year.
3. Cloud Ecosystem Enablement
2012 Perspective: VMware unveiled its plans to stitch together Vcloud operators at its big VMworld shindig, but this wasn't the only giant making big bets on the cloud ecosystem concept. Equinix, one of the world's largest data center operators, hatched is master plan for a 'Marketplace' of Platform Equinix Partners and Synnex, one of the most powerful IT Distributors in North America took a huge step with its Cloudsolv application and services portal. Watch what these three companies do in 2012 to drive ecosystem growth.
2013 Perspective: Dell, HP, Cisco, Arrow, Avnet, Telefonica, Singtel…just to name a few. Billions in unstructured cloud business potential spanning distribution, hardware and telecoms just waiting to be harnessed. The lure of these types of captive markets will push the envelope on cloud ecosystem enablement despite a big challenge encountered in 2012. That big challenge was the relative learning curve incurred when you cross-pollinate large singularly focused business units.
4. Emerging Cloud Communities
2012 Update: By the middle of the 2nd quarter I was beginning to worry about this prediction. Was I going a bit too far out on a limb? Then, bang! VMware announces the big deal with the NYSE. Wow. Talk about going big or going home. The NYSE community cloud has a lot of eyes on it. A large number of other vertical deals are hanging in the balance, hoping to learn what not to do when details of the NYSE project become more public. I think this VMware play will be a big success and in 2012, you will see many other big players follow suit.
2013 Perspective: Do you hear that sound? No? I didn't think so. There's no sound in a vacuum that is the lack of follow up from the big NYSE deal in 2011. No big pharma cloud. No big banking cloud. No big offshore financial cloud.
How come?
Would-be community cloud enablers in 2012 figured out what they needed to figure out, which they are hoping to do in 2013. What they need to figure out has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with operational and contractual concerns. The commonality of vertical market integration resolves certain compliance risks, but it doesn't mean private IT operators are ready, suited or even capable of offering a legitimate outbound customer service. Ask any CFO or CEO of a publically traded company about the idea of taking on the liability risk created by a new service that, oh by the way, has nothing to do with existing strategy. At a minimum in 2013 look for new corporate structures to emerge in order to facilitate offering community clouds as a service.
5. Channelization
2012 Perspective: I am still a firm believer in the channel and I'm still banking my company's future on it. However, the Channel failed to capitalize on the cloud opportunity in 2011 the way I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, the needle definitely moved. But the cloud operators and the broader channel are still separated by an expertise gulf that is limiting how much cloud money flows via the intermediary. The investment from the IaaS providers continues to be there. Find me one IaaS services or software provider that doesn't showcase a channel program today. 2012 will see the gulf shrink and the channel heat up because Distribution will hit its stride and carry with it more evidence of the gold rush I saw last year.
2013 Perspective: The channel didn't emerge as the boon of cloud computing adoption in 2012, but it continued to make significant progress. Cloud Sherpas recently raised $40M on a bet that it had figured out the model to integrate cloud into the enterprise. That's not a small bet on the channel intermediary concept. There were other big wins in the market too.
In 2013 you will see vendors get very serious about forcing channel intermediaries to declare their allegiance. Programs are maturing and dollars are flowing inbound to support the intermediary to the customer. This is a sure sign that we are on the cusp of growing the cloud wave in a big way.
6. IaaS Futures Market
2012 Perspective: Spot market concepts made progress in 2011 but as expected were not able to truly capture the imagination of the market. However, the groundswell around commodity compute resource trading is gaining momentum. And in 2012 look for general progress in this area with a few players coming out of the woodwork to surprise some.
2013 Perspective: Fact – trading compute contracts is going to happen. If you trust nothing else I write, trust me on this.
As predicted, a few players came out of the woodwork on this. Specifically, the Eurex and Zimory (via TSystems) in Europe announced that they had formed a partnership to build a trading platform in 2013.
What is unclear is exactly how this is going to happen. How will the market be organized? Look for clarity to emerge in 2013 on this subject.
Since last year's 6.1 bonus prediction was such a hit (um, cloud brokerage, anyone?) I will keep with the new tradition. Here's my scoop: Keep an eye on the fall of old empires. The world economy is definitely not what it was two years ago, but neither are some of these tech titans of yesterday:
Cloud Computing – the agent of change – can mean rebirth or extinction for some of the biggest companies to dominate the tech landscape in the last 30 years. Look for significant strategic moves by some of the giants as they posture for survival in the new era.
Have a great 2013!

The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate. The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads. Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy.

Ok that part is now clear emmanuel, thanks
However… I've tried out different flags and attribute settings and I don't fully understand what they do. I included the c-file and a table with my findings, I hope it's clear, let me know if that's not the case
seems to do nothing, it is supposed to disable setting from max and from a c message, but I can still do that (with a message box, or in c with object_attr_setparse for example)
does what it should, disabling setting it from max (with message and inspector)
- object_attr_setdisabled
doesn't seem to do anything but greying out the name, the value is still settable with message, inspector and c method, is that correct?
this removes the message option to set the value, why?
- bonus question:
how can you query an attribute from an object?
is that done with with something like? class_attr_getvalueof? (I only found class_attr_attr_getvalueof)

My Dell Inspiron 2200 runs Windows XP. I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 - Wireless B router. Everything ran fine until I secured my network. Now the router works but the laptop doesn't always find the network. I get the "wireless zero configuration See Microsoft Article 871122" message. I go through the "start - run - service.msc - select Wireless Zero Configuration" process, and my network appears. (I have to go through this process each time I shutdown my laptop.)(The security is currently set in WAP-PSK TKIP.) After that, I select my network in the list with full signal strength, input the network key and click Connect. I get a message that it's "waiting for network", then the dialog box disappears and it never connects to the network - just goes back to the network selection screen. 1) How do I set it so I don't have to do the WZC config each time and 2) How do I fix it so that it connects to my network?PLEASE HELP. Already spent hours on problem and REALLY need my laptop running.
Everything ran fine until I secured my network.
1 recommendation
You should have the DELL Wireless Configuration tool installed, unless you happened to uninstall it. If you have it installed, you will need to manually run it in order to set it up with your "new" wireless config. This tool is what "remembers" your preferred wireless network and the password for your security type on the router.Also, just to be clear, the Windows Zero config service should be set to autorun if it isn't already.
WCZ should remember everything as well - I have always had more luck with the WCZ than any of the Linksys or Dell utilities. Both should not be active at the same time - one or the other.The laptop is either not getting a IP for some reason (firewall preventing) or it is having issues with the security.To check the security - I would make sure the laptop supports TKIP (it should) and make the password one letter - to make sure it is not an issue with entering in the incorrect password.--Brian"It drops into your stomach like a Abrams's tank.... driven by Rosanne Barr..." A. Bourdain
How do I disable the security on the network so that I can return things to normal?
Thank you! How do I check whether or not the DELL Wireless Configuration tool is installed? (I'm not completely ignorant to computers...but I'm a middle of the road user who can figure some things out if you point me in the right direction. )

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
Windows XP does not natively support WPA encryption. Make sure you have the appropriate patch installed.It will support WEP. But, WEP is very easy to crack. Since you specified "WAP-PSK-TKIP" I assume you are using WPA and it's just a typo.--So put me on a highway, and show me a sign.And take it to the limit one more time...
Why aren't you using WPA2 AES?Just use WPA2 AES and set a key and enter the key in windows, don't use this Wireless Zero and WPA easy setup junk.--CompTIA Network+ Certified

5 drinks per hour??? That's crushing drinks. I booze like I'm still in college and don't even drink that much. (and definitely don't drive) This guy probably doesn't drink at all during the season either. Can't imagine how he would even consider driving after pounding back 20 brewskis. Absolutely a shame. All he had to do was call for a FREE ride.Irving police, who are not commenting on the case, have previously said that the 321-pound Brent failed field sobriety tests immediately after the deadly crash. He refused a breathalyzer test but because his wreck resulted in a death, authorities could draw his blood against his will. Brent's blood alcohol level was reportedly 0.18.According to one online blood alcohol content calculator, a person Brent's size would have to drink about 20 shots over a four-hour period to reach that blood alcohol level.

NEW YORK (AP) - Ballot and comments from AP Pro 32 panel voter Cris Collinsworth of NBC Sports:
CRIS COLLINSWORTH (NBC Sports)
1. Green Bay Packers - Best team in regular season last year and have chip on shoulder after playoff loss.
2. New England Patriots - Belichick-led team immune to Super Bowl loss hangover.
3. New York Giants - Got hot at perfect time last year. Need to carry postseason mentality into regular season.
4. Philadelphia Eagles - 4-0 preseason could mean they're ready to make up for disappointing 2011.
5. San Francisco 49ers - A fumble away from Super Bowl. 49ers are dominating team in weak division.
6. Denver Broncos - Up and coming young defense should get to play with lead thanks to Peyton Manning.
7. Baltimore Ravens - Ray Lewis lost weight. Ray Rice got paid. Joe Flacco ready for breakout year.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers - New offensive coordinator and rebuilt offensive line.
9. Houston Texans - Dominating defense. Need to keep Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson healthy.
10. New Orleans Saints - Lots of turmoil in New Orleans, but they still have Drew Brees.
11. Chicago Bears - Matt Forte healthy and happy after big new contract.
12. Dallas Cowboys - Jason Witten's injury could leave Tony Romo without his go-to guy to start season.
13. San Diego Chargers - Talented team has to break pattern of starting slow.
14. New York Jets - Defense should be even better, just need a little help from offense.
15. Atlanta Falcons - Mike Smith and Matt Ryan have turned Falcons into perennial contenders.
16. Detroit Lions - Could be scary team if Matthew Stafford continues to get better.

Iain Duncan Smith enjoys slashing benefits so much that he has refused the Justice Secretary post vacated by Kenneth Clarke in today's cabinet reshuffle.
His former junior, Chris Grayling gladly took Clarke's place.
Today he was jeered and shouted down by protesters as he attempted to justify the DWP Work Capability Assessments carried out by Atos during a debate at Westminster.
Grayling wasn't the only minister to get the message that he nor his policies were not welcome.
Chancellor George 'Gideon' Osborne was surrounded by a chorus of boos from 80,000 spectators around the Olympic Stadium as he was introduced to award the medals for the men's T38 400m last night.
Campaigners, spectators and Paralympians have pointed out that Osborne should not have been shocked at the hostile reception he received given his Government's assault on disabled people.
It is an onslaught that seems to be incessant.
Yesterday, Shiv Malik from the Guardian revealed that claimants of disability benefits could face sanctions of up to £71 per week should they fail to take steps to get back into work.
A group of Paralympians have also spoken out against the hypocrisy of government ministers shining in the reflected glory of disabled athletes achievements yet cutting off the very lifeline of benefits that allows them to compete at the highest level.
On Friday, the Government seemed to have no answer to those protesting against them and their pet contractors Atos, whose tests have passed 1100 people "fit-for-work" just before they died.
Other than to send in lines of police thugs to brutally attack disabled activists.
But this movement will not be intimidated.
Unemployed, disabled activists and trade unionists will unite to stop the attacks on the poor next Wednesday.
Protest called by Unite Community London
Wednesday 12th September – from 9.00am
Department of Work and Pensions
Caxton House,
6-12 Tothill Street, London SW1H 9NA
(nearest stations Westminster & St James Park)
Called by members of Unite Community in London

The city of Stamford, Connecticut, has been dealing with a huge spill of partially treated wastewater into the local harbor following days of heavy rain, the Connecticut Post reports. Approximately 25 million gallons of sewage poured into the harbor when the local wastewater treatment plant overflowed during the night of May 1. As much as four inches of rain poured down on Stamford during the storm, leaving the sewage treatment facility unable to handle the deluge, according to NBC.
But old and inefficient water and wastewater infrastructure in Stamford also played a part in the spill. News12 Connecticut quoted city officials as saying that there were plans to replace old pipelines and improve the city's water system as a whole, but the work has not yet been done because of a lack of funding. The city is applying for grant money to carry out the upgrades, officials said.
Meanwhile, a near-record amount of sewage has been floating in the water, sending a foul odor across the city. It was expected to take about a week to wash away, officials said. Director of Health Anne Fountain told the Connecticut Post that preventive measures were being taken, including posting warning signs on beaches and marinas to alert residents of the contamination and to prohibit swimming and fishing until further notice.

On January 18, 2012 in Golan v. Holder the Supreme Court upheld amendments made to the "Copyright in Restored Works" section of the U.S. Code in response to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act § 514 as per the U.S. membership in the Berne Convention. Article 18 of Berne requires countries to protect the works of other member states unless the works' copyright term has expired in either the country where protection is claimed or the country of origin. While the U.S. upon becoming a Berne member state in 1989, notably 103 years after its formation, initially offered minimal compliance with Article 18, in 1994 when the World Trade Organization's "Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights" provided a more secure forum for enforcement, Congress felt compelled to implement the amendment at issue in Golan.
Under 17 U.S.C. § 104A(h)(6)(c) copyright protection will now be granted to works protected in their country of origin, but not originally in the U.S. because either; the U.S. did not protect works from the country of origin at the time of publication; the U.S. did not protect sound recordings fixed before 1972; or the author had not complied with certain statutory formalities. Additional requirements under 17 U.S.C. § 104A(h)(6)(D) provide that the copyright-holder must have been a national or resident of an eligible country and the work cannot have been published in the U.S. within 30 days of its initial publication. The statute effectively places foreign works previously in the U.S. public domain and qualifying for restoration, as per Justice Ginsburg's majority opinion, "prospectively… on equal footing with their U.S. counterparts." While as Justice Breyer's dissenting opinion notes, expert witness testimony suggested this will affect millions of works and cost millions of dollars to those using the works; his acknowledgement that "this is a dilemma of the Government's own making," seemingly had a major effect on the outcome of the case.
By denying for over 100 years to join a framework of international copyright, often refusing to acknowledge any international rights whatsoever and now faced with a seemingly uncontrollable estimated $16 Billion in costs of internet piracy to the movie and music industry per year; it may finally be apparent the U.S. must change its philosophy or endure a creative wasteland. Both sides acknowledge that a central economic motive of the Copyright Clause of the U.S. Constitution as Justice Ginsburg noted in Eldred v. Ashcroft is to "advance public welfare through the talents of authors and inventors." In his dissent in Golan v. Holder Justice Breyer queries as to how this aim can be met when the statute in question seemingly "restricts dissemination… without providing any additional incentive for the production of new material. " Acknowledging the industry experts quoted by the majority whom argue that extra profits earned by enhanced international copyright protection for U.S. artists can lead to production of new works, Breyer responds that "simply making the industry richer does not mean that the industry… will distribute works not previously distributed."
While Justice Breyer may have a point, the music industry has continued to search for a new business model since the spawning of the digital age and as Nyasha Foy notes in Back in Black? it may still be on life support. The days of Dowling v. U.S. where bootleg Elvis Presley records can be confiscated and provide physical evidence of infringement are extinguished. While relying on reciprocity regarding royalties from other countries may be a limited venture, as the $16 billion estimate suggests, piracy is a huge factor and must be addressed with an international force or those industries still trying to adjust will have even less to offer to new artists. The music industry has long survived by merging new, more relevant artists with those publishing dollars and sales it gains from the works of the masters in all genres. While companies may not use all of the resources gained by the enforcement of the amendment to foster new and creative artists and works, it is for certain that if Congress, now with the Supreme Court standing behind it, does not attempt to mend international copyright relations, piracy will continue to strangle those new talents.

Ever wondered what a combination of ISIS and Deftones might sound like? Here's the not so surprising answer. Back in 2010, the former announced their split. Clearly feeling that they'd run their road as far as was reasonable, the post-rock quintet decided to call it a day and, so it seemed, were bound for the history books. They'd had an impressive run: playing their first show in '97, they went out thirteen years later with five albums under their belt and a trademark sound – that slow-paced, irrepressibly building guitar churn of a song; the kind that took its own damn time to get where it wanted to go; emotional release in loud, passionate, unbridled noise.
After three years, however, it looks like the reported death of Isis was somewhat premature. This summer sees the partial resurrection of the band in the form of Palms; keyboardist/guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer, bassist Jeff Caxide and drummer Aaron Harris. The latter summed the regrouping up as succinctly as anyone could ask for, when he revealed that, "after a little time Jeff, Cliff, and I decided that it was insane that we all still lived here in Los Angeles and weren't playing together". And so, they reformed – albeit as a slightly diminished ensemble. Not content with that, though, they sought one more element to make their new project whole. In a word? They sought a vocalist.
They found that vocalist in the form of Deftones' Chino Moreno. As lead singer of a band who are invariably stamped with a host of musical labels – from drone to shoegaze via art rock and post-grunge – he's a man able to turn his hand to a number of styles that dwell within the field many would simply label 'metal'. He's also a man who has spent a large part of the last 25 years perfecting a vocal style that accommodates the stings and swells of the soul's vicissitudes. He was perfect for the job.
The result completely lives up to expectations. But it does so in the sense that, whether you have entertained the idea or not, this is exactly what a conjunction of three-parts ISIS /one part Deftones would always sound like. In this way, it's fair to say that if you are a fan of either band, you should think seriously about checking this record out. It's also fair to say that if you're not, there's not much to tempt you in.
Only six tracks long, it's an album that appears fairly brief. Each of these songs are, however, as 'epic' (to use a word that will be used, used and re-used in describing this LP), as unhurried, and as powerfully emotional as one might expect. The beautiful highlight is "Tropics", a number that should convince even the most obstinate of skeptics that moments of gentle beauty can exist and thrive in such musical surroundings. Acting as a sort of oasis among the raging sand storms of "Shortwave Radio" and "Antarctic Handshake", and clocking in at a relatively swift five minutes and forty-four seconds, what it concedes in length it makes up for in a lush, dreamy quality. Harris' drums take on the hypnotic rhythm of the Pacific lapping upon the shore, providing the tranquil base from which Moreno and the rest soar to calm, yet powerful heights.
The rest is very much of a type. Sharp, pronounced drumming; thoughtful yet slightly abrasive riffs; Moreno's vocals turning musing and sensitive before resetting to piercing, all-knowing yells; it's all conducive to creating an atmosphere of deeply felt, soul-tearing emotion. Either side of "Tropics", the tone doesn't abate for a moment, and the band don't stray from the paths they've all now been following for decades. It's an intense listen and, owing to the duration of each song, one that can begin to feel overbearing. But, overall, this debut outing by a group of hardened veterans feels like a welcome return by three much-missed post-rockers, and a continuation of one singular vocalist's blistering career.

The Buffalo Sabres will open up their summer development camp for rookies, and this will be many fans first
chance at seeing the future of the Buffalo Sabres live. Will you be attending the development camp?
Who will be the players you are going to watch?
On offense, there are several "hometown boys" getting to skate in blue and gold – fulfilling boyhood dreams. Justin Bailey, Alex Isfallo, and Sean Malone all hail from Sabres country. Do any of them stand a shot at making it to the Buffalo Sabres full time roster? If so, they will join Patrick Kaleta and former Sabre Tim Kennedy as the latest who have played for their home town team.
Mikhail Grigorenko will be back at development camp, so Buffalo Sabres management and coaching staff can see how he has developed over the off season. This will be Grigorenko's first full season in the National Hockey League – he will need all the ice time he can get to bring his offense skills to light. In the same draft class Zemgus Girgensons will also be around to show the Sabres that he is ready to skate in the bigs, after putting on a good show in Rochester last season.
Daniel Catenacci will be present as well, and will most likely end up in Rochester to start the season.
The most talked about defenseman heading into development camp are this years draft selections Rasmus Ristolainan and Nikitra Zadorov.
Chad Ruhwedel will be in development camp as well, and he won't be hard to spot. At 5-11 he is the smallest defenseman attending camp.
Jake McCabe, Brayden McNabb, and Mark Pysyk will be on hand to play their trade and convince the coaches that they are ready for the National Hockey League.
If a trade for Ryan Miller can be pulled off, Jhonas Enroth is the key to the Buffalo Sabres future in net. Who will be his backup netminder? Andrey Makarov will be in net, and he is being talked about as the next goalie of the future. Connor Knapp will try and get under the shadow of David Leggio, as the starting position in Rochester is up for grabs, with WNY native Leggio signing a two way deal with the Washington Capitals.
The Buffalo Sabres will hope that chemistry ignites for their prospects, as after development camp the teams prospects will prepare to defend their 2001 Traverse City Tournament championship. Last years tournament sponsored by the Detroit Red Wings was cancelled due to the lockout.

ADATA's current lineup of 2.5-inch solid state drives are 9.5mm thick. While this does conform to the standard many new devices like slim laptops and ultrabooks require drives to be only 7mm thick. ADATA has now reduced the size of their 2.5-inch solid state drive lineup to 7mm. This way you can use ADATA drives in these devices. These new 7mm drives will ship with plastic holders so they can still be placed in 9.5mm slots.

GPOYSW: 'X'-Marks-the-Spot-of-my-Knee-Issues Edition
I haven't really been blogging about running (or my lack of) lately, or my knee issues, as a) I'm lazy and b) I figure 99.9% of you just don't care. But I decided for my personal reference, and if on the odd chance I can help someone out, I'm going to blog away….
History: There was no specific injury, the knee pain (where the 'x' is) just decided (for shits and giggles) to pop up when I hit my longer distances (about 7k+). It hurts like a bitch with every step, and don't even get me started on going down stairs.
Action: After using Dr. Google and Dr. Tumblr, I decided to take advantage of Canada's free health care and get an actual sport Doctor's opinion. He diagnosed me with IT Band Syndrome (which is very common for runners: new and old) and is usually from "too much, too fast."
Physio: He referred me to a physiotherapist, which certainly wasn't free (umm what? $65 for 30 min!) which I went to for an hour, initial session. She was awesome and it was well worth it. She told me to stay off my knee in all aspects (hence no trainer lately either) for the time being, and she gave me exercises/stretches to do, to lengthen my IT Band, and thus take the pressure off my knee.
Exercises: I bought a foam roller! See next post.

Council Supports Third Frontier, but not Issue 1

Item #1 on City Council's agenda today was a resolution supporting Issue 1 and Ohio's Third Frontier program, which promotes business growth by creating new high-tech companies and expanding others. But it turns out, Cincinnati's charter prohibits council from encouraging people to support or not support all ballot issues. Council members didn't know that until […]

Back from vacation to City Council this week. Some highlights from last night: 1. When Laketa Cole, talking about raising bus fares, said something was "huge-er," she acknowledged with a laugh that she'd just made up her own word. That's when Chris Monzel told her she sounded like George Bush.

Google Announces Page PreFetching (again) - beta

Google just announced Instant Pages which works within Chrome (Beta) to load sites almost instantly. Looks like it pre-loads the top query using pre-rendering.

the website and the user each pay the bandwidth, so Goog are costing both of them money with this "predictive" service..Amit wouldn't smile so much if he was the one who'd be paying for this.
... and it's not good for the environment either ...

Why bother going to your website?
Hey you know what, people still do.
Since I own or have control over plenty of #1 spots right now (and no BIG brands either, but just little ones), I choose to see this as a good thing; at least until I see how badly it screws up my various non-Google analytics and stats programs. Which it probably will, at least initially.
5:18 pm on Jun 16, 2011

Prefetch shoved down your throat whether you like it or not, analytics accuracy out the window along with your bandwidth and the functionality of your page since it starts playing behind the scenes.
OK, so the first page loads fast, what if the second doesn't? Fooled the surfer into thinking your site is screaming fast when it isn't.
Wonder how many little sites using hosts that limit bandwidth will end up displaying "Bandwidth Exceeded" like Google gives a rats ass if your site gets seen or not.
The only real issue I have with concept of preload is the idiot PhDs that originally shoved the function into browsers just randomly load crap instead of giving any control like "rel=preload" so we can actually make the process make sense for our sites.
Here's the real rub - Chrome OS is a wireless broadband/wifi-based OS, so preloading pages automatically will put more strain on already overloaded wifi sites like airports and other high volume wireless locations. If those Chrome laptops catch on they'll be prefetching the available bandwidth into oblivion.

Idle query: Do they perform the pre-loading activity
they physically display the SERP page? Sure, it's a matter of milliseconds, but it's a nice extra subliminal: This site loads up even faster than google did! Especially, of course, if the user has taken the time to look at the whole top 10 before deciding that, Yeah, I guess no. 1
the one I want. By then the site been raring to go for at least half a minute. (How long do people spend on the default 10-result page? I bet someone knows.)

Now that the "mad scientists" at Google have successfully resolved all search challenges, through such "innovations" like Panda, they are busy with the "fancy" stuff.

This is a classical false argument. Just because one important thing is not complete, it doesn't mean that putting everyone on that project will help, and it doesn't mean various groups cannot work on various projects at the same time, and it doesn't mean other projects may not help solve other problems that are just as important for other people. The first important problem may not be solved for decades... we can't put everything else on hold in the meanwhile.
It's like saying "Why research for migraine drugs when we haven't cured cancer yet?"

Thank you, koan. This is an example of what I sometimes call "thinking of a company as if it were a person." A person can really do only one thing at a time, so how they allocate their present time is a very big deal. Corporations do not operate under the same kind of practical restrictions... they have others ;)

I�d like to see a calculation on the global cost for wasted bandwidth. What is this going to cost in terms of CPU cycles, cooling, power, etc?
If 1 out of 5 searches is predicted incorrectly, the cost is going to be gigantic. Or is it? Google has 1 billion searches a day. 6 billion preloads not used per month. 320kb/page (a Google number). 1,920TB of bandwidth wasted per month (someone check my math on this). Not so huge. This assumes a preload of a single page per query. Still, not so green and certainly bad for the planet. Does Google own any dark fiber? Any extension of the preloading would be a slick way to chew up lots of existing bandwidth.

Throwing this into the mix... if Google has to say anything about it, then we might wish to be afraid...
Google has downplayed concerns that refinements to its search technology could leave surfers more exposed to search engine manipulation attacks.
Google Inside Search aims to speed up web searches by pre-loading content from remote sites. The so-called Instant Pages technology only works with Google Chrome.
Then we have this... does this suggest that Google will be adding yet more code for webmasters to wrestle to prevent these new "improvements"? (As if the average Joe or Sue Webmaster will do that... or even know what an API is for...)
Velocity Google has urged website developers to use Chrome's experimental Page Visibility API to reduce their sites' activities when they're not actually being viewed by browser users.
Now included with the developer version of Chrome � and due for arrival in the beta version next week � the PageVisability API allows websites to determine when they're actually being viewed by users � and when they're just sitting in the background. The API can tell you when a site is sitting inside a background tab, but also when a site has been pre-rendered by Chrome's new Instant Pages tool.
What I
reading from other sources it that Instant Pages only works with Chrome... and if that's the case, if one is really worried... it wouldn't take much to .htaccess Chrome ... if one is that concerned.
I'm not thrilled that G is continuing to futz with page code and server configs by bringing out all these "newfangled" things. At some point,
if it ain't broke, don't break it!

Possibly not even the right thread to ask, but this stuff makes my log-wrangling routines go haywire:
IP: {human}
Request: {all files except the page itself, including four images that were moved and 301'd 12 days ago}
Referer: /webcache.googleusercontent.com/search
?q=cache:{buncha letters & numbers):{name of my page}+{search string}
UA: {human}
Is this a cache or a search response or what? Why are they fetching brand-new copies of the peripheral files but not the actual page? (I checked. Their last pickup of the page itself was 4 days ago--
the relocated images via up-to-date links, so why were they even looking for the old ones?)

I think that article is a pile of juvenile crud. Can you imagine a world class search team saying: "Hey, our search results are really bad. Instead of improving, let's pour resources into building technology that lowers the time spent getting to those bad pages."
Sometimes people take Google bashing way too far.

Hi Ted, I get your point about the Google bashing, but it did get me thinking about possible reasons behind the instant pages idea because the speed of pages loading hasn't ever been a factor of concern at least for us over here in Britain. Perhaps it's more relevent in other parts of the world.

Addressing this point only... increasing speed has been a concern of Google's for many years. I don't know how anybody who's watched Google could miss that.
Google's Technology Overview
Speed is a major search priority, which is why in general we don�t turn on new features if they will slow our services down. Instead, search engineers are always working not just on new features, but ways to make search even faster. In addition to smart coding, on the back end we�ve developed distributed computing systems around that globe that ensure you get fast response times. With technologies like autocomplete and Google Instant, we help you find the search terms and results you�re looking for before you�re even finished typing.

Chrome's experimental Page Visibility API
If our server accepts the pre-load request, will there be any way to determine whether the user actually clicked through the search-result link to the target page?
If not, we would have to deny all such requests (to prevent the distortion of our traffic stats).
We would also appreciate if any such pre-load APIs were cross-browser and cross-platform (a simple RFC might do the trick?).

Speed depends on connectivity. I ride the Acela train frequently between Boston and NYC. I don't use their public wi-fi, but rather use my own "mi-fi" card. During those trips, speed is an issue. If anyone is on the edge of decent mobile reception, speed is an issue. If anyone is on a satellite connection, speed is an issue.
And with the obvious explosion of mobile connectivity these days, an emphasis on speed makes plenty of sense to me.
to prevent the distortion of our traffic stats
That's a concern for me, too. I'm still looking for more clarity about analytics questions. At the same time, the traffic itself is even more important to me than it's measurement. I deposit dollars in the bank, not statistics.
5:05 pm on Jun 18, 2011

Google is not just in U.S and there are still several countries where speed is an issue. In the country where some of the google engineers work, India, speed is a major issue.
I would associate this more with chrome than with the Google search engine as it is browser dependent and chrome has always focused on speed.
But what will irritate many is their total disregard for webmasters who don't want to opt into this.Google's treatment of webmasters is pathetic.They do provide an opt out for users but doesn't seem to provide one for the webmasters.This has been their attitude in several of their new changes or features.
Google is not just dependent on their search users but also on webmasters. But they seem to be totally ignoring one big community.

They'd better be on unlimited data plans..because #1 results with large amounts of data ( like slide shows or Flash pages ) are going to start burning a hole in their bank balance, before they know it..and more importantly..even if they don't click through..:(
Almost every mobile device ( phone, pad, tab,slab, laptop ) is on data caps with nasty charges for going over..

Different Google teams often get tunnel vision around various technical "enhancements." Remember the beginnings of AJAX search results? They even trashed Google Analytics!
I am confident that the issues around this change will get sorted - both bandwidth and challenges to the major Analytics vendors, too. Google uses a kind of rapid iteration model all the time. Roll out early and fix many of the bugs later. This kind of "agile" development is taking over the world, and it is hard for an old codger like me to adapt to sometimes.

Unless ( in the USA at least) Google start using that dark fibre and open free wi-fi and a GSM type service ( take on the Telcos and the ISPs ) and offer free internet and mobile services all over ..supported by ad money..
Which might explain why they bought all the dark fibre anyway..they could cut out the middle men..in the densely populated areas at least.
I remember 100 % ad supported internet here ( there are still services which offer 50% ad supported DSL to the home for domestic users )..and I have still one ( no contract ) mobile phone which gives me 50% of my calls free, if I accept to listen to a 20 second ad before the call is put through..( costs me about $5.oo per year to keep that "service" option ) ..other mobiles here are mostly unlimited and paid monthly or bundled with unlimited data via ISPs DSL services.

WebProNews published an article about Instant Pages - with some official comment from a Google engineer.
Analytics and advertising solutions will have to be updated to take account of prerendering via the page visibility API. In most cases the end site owner shouldn�t have to make any modifications to his page; the 3rd party will simply make a minor change to the javascript that is pulled into publishers� pages. You should check with your analytics or advertising providers to check if their scripts are prerendering-aware.

Yet another example of G changing the landscape and existing infrastructure of web to suit their ends... then again, if I were the bull in the pasture I might make my own rules, too. At present G has not only the best access to the sandpile, but think they have the pail and shovel, too. And they do if we let them.
Note that all these changes merely tighten the G leash on webmasters (desperate). After all, they created the "free" money (also a pit) webmasters lust after. Each time there's a new change, it costs webmasters more bandwidth or access and the G bottom line is enhanced. Don't get me wrong, as a capitalist I give them thumbs up. Yet, I'm liking the "other alternative" out there better each day. If only there was a realistic third party where we might party...
