September 10, 2008Earlier this year, Citrix created a new track as part of Citrix Synergy in Houston. This track, which was called “Geek Speak Live”, was intended to address the more technical aspects of Citrix products. Not only that, it was intended to be largely driven by outside speakers.
The new model was very successful and addressed a [...]
The Next 5000 Days of the Web
August 27, 2008Last year Kevin Kelly gave a presentation about the next 5000 days of the web. His views are based on what happened in the first 5000 days (roughly 13 1/2 years). The profile for Kevin reveals a very thoughtful man. He is in a good position to imagine what the future will bring.
Instead of talking [...]

The recent post about the “Starfire” video led to the discovery of the “Knowledge Navigator” video. This video by Apple predates the “Starfire” version from Sun by six years. Considering that it was built twenty years ago, it is very interesting.
Some of the technology has arrived (like flat screens and video [...]
Starfire Video
May 16, 2008Yet another surprise today. I found a video produced by a team at Sun in 1994. It is in a similar format and style to the internally famous “Virtual Workplace” video produced in 2001. It is called the “Starfire” video and it tries to capture what will be available in 2004.

Macintosh Introduction Video 1984
April 3, 2008This particular video is very inspirational. It is rare that such an event happens and even more rare when all the hype is actually true. Introduction of the Mac was a point of history that continues to be strong. It became the first viable and popular graphical user interface computer. It did not take long [...]
