Internet connection is a human right down here
Just landed in Tallinn, Estonia, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear, from the Hotel Concierge, that “Internet connection is a human right down here”. Like air, water, and such. They rock.
Check out my slides on Cloud Computing, and some pictures from Luca.

Joel on Microsoft Live Mesh
I didn’t find the exact words to describe Microsoft Live Mesh, until I found them on Joel Spolsky’s blog:
“And what is this Windows Live Mesh? It’s a way to synchronize files.
Jeez, we’ve had that forever. When did the first sync web sites start coming out? 1999? There were a million versions. xdrive, mydrive, idrive, youdrive, wealldrive for ice cream. Nobody cared then and nobody cares now, because synchronizing files is just not a killer application. I’m sorry. It seems like it should be. But it’s not.”
Robert Scoble agrees: Why Microsoft Live Mesh will fail with early adopters.
What do you think about it?
