What You've Been Missing Over At ITInnovation.com

Back at the beginning of December, you may recall that we launched a new website, ITInnovation.com, with sponsorship from Sun and Intel. So far, it's been a lot of fun. While we crosspost some stories on both sites, there are many that just are found there. So, here's a quick listing of a few of the stories you may have missed:

Stephen Foskett's 2009 IT predictions (yes, his 2009 predictions (in retrospect)...
A look at quantum computing algorithms (and Google's supposed interest in them... along with some mystery about whether this is real or just PR-speak).
An example of better ways to communicate IT goals with a marketing campaign.
A discussion on dealing with server sprawl
An examination of data centers designed to survive earthquakes
A look at some of the key factors in determining where to locate your data centers

There are plenty of other posts as well. We're just getting started over there and ramping up the site nicely so far. So, if you're interested in IT issues and innovation, go check it out.

Quantum Computing
I've put a new comment on the Quantum computing one ...

  Re: Quantum Computing
  I just read it... thanks Richard, that answered a lot of questions I had about the quantum story. I recommend everyone else read it if they want perspective on what's happening there.

  Richard,
  
  Wow. Thanks a lot for that informative comment. I'll link to it here:

  I didn't realize the D-Wave chips needed to be supercooled? Is that right? (citation please?)

    ah. whoops. I guess if you just go to the D-Wave website:
    
    D-Wave systems are architected around an innovative processor that uses a computational model known as adiabatic quantum computing (AQC). These processors exploit quantum effects to solve search and optimization problems in a new way. They are fabricated using superconducting metals instead of semiconductors and are operated at ultra-low temperatures in a magnetic vacuum.

Is there a Google Gadget for the iGoogle Home page for the ITInnovation feed?

  Re: Google Gadget
  reboog711,
  
  Nope... not yet. We'll see about whipping one up.
  
  Thanks!
