  | Open Source | ZDNet.com: If you buy the drinks when we meet you're wealthy in my book.) Jonathan's entry from Monday, entitledThe Network is the Computer, bears re-reading. He is pointing here to the coming launch of Sun's on-demand supercomputer, dubbed The Sun Grid. (via Cosmos)

BeyondVC: What has changed from 10 years ago is that the focus is not on corporate computing (those guys still want their own grids) but as Jonathan so aptly points out, the long tail-the renegade departments who don't want to wait, the many startups that have new web services, etc. Ironically it was Sun that printed money from the VCs and startup community during the bubble-our checks went to a startup and they bought a Sun, Oracle, EMC backend.  (via Cosmos)

Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: . You can now head over to Network.com and buy computing power with a credit card - at a buck per CPU per hour. The grid currently encompasses 5,000 computers, which Sun's Aisling MacRunnels calls "a conservative start." Ina post on his blog earlier this week, Sun's president, Jonathan Schwartz, said that the Sun Grid "represents not only the future of product development at Sun, but ... the future of computing": This isn't yesterday's definition of On Demand, involving custom (via Cosmos)

Travelling, and not arriving: (a cheap web hosting should be enough to install it), and comes with a good number of applications available (see eyeApps).

Smart Mobs: I was asking them all the same question, "do you feel the grid you're building is delivering a competitive advantage to your business?" (For those that don't know what a grid is, it's a collection of low cost network, storage, computing and software elements, lashed together to do work that historically required very expensive dedicated proprietary technologies). I asked the same question of CIO's in the energy industry, using grids to find oil. (via Cosmos)

  Jonathan Schwartz's Weblog: Witness the meteoric rise of Salesforce.com - or RightNow, or PayPal - or any of a number of other services designed to replace traditional infrastructure behind the corporate firewall. Smaller businesses especially have flocked to the grid to spare themselves the headaches of architecting and owning their own datacenters. (via Cosmos)

[Coactus.com] Integrate This: Only the data payload - the document representing the state of the job, or whatever it might be - is required, as I previously explained .It’s an odd oversight, because Table 6, which details the RESTful messages, makes no mention of any operation other than the HTTP ones.
