]]> Comment on Smash and Grab Semantics: Cloud vs. Hosted by ChanduSingh http://blog.b2banalysts.com/2010/09/27/smash-and-grab-semantics-cloud-vs-hosted/#comment-362 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:50:48 +0000 http://blog.b2banalysts.com/?p=311#comment-362 Stumbled upon your blog, and found the theme (not the way it looks, but what you write here) very refreshing quite to my liking. So, I thank you Mr. Dobrin for writing this blog, I’ll definitely keep coming back for more.

This post ‘Cloud vs Hosted’ hints (or may be I think it does) at a very real issue, and illustrates that many people just don’t know what they are talking about. In case they do know what they are talking about, they twist it to their advantage. However, you have (in this post) stayed clear of shedding any light on what the real difference among these terms (cloud, hosted, SaaS, ‘on-demand’) is.

I don’t even think it is a “Hosted” issue, though that came up as a question in the Enterprise Irregulars’ discussion of the Virgin Blue situation, as another fellow Enterprise Irregular, David Dobrin, writes.

]]> Comment on Protecting Software, post-Bilski by Lisa http://blog.b2banalysts.com/2010/07/09/protecting-software-post-bilski/#comment-341 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:15:08 +0000 http://blog.b2banalysts.com/?p=300#comment-341 This situation has become a nightmare, I agree. I’ve been loosely following many of these software suits and have been particularly interested in the ‘small guys’ going after the big guys. My gut is that a majority of the cases are true from the small biz perspective and that these big companies just move forward with development and stealing anyways, because they know they can and that it is next to impossible to enforce. I feel the next step is establishing a baseline opensource code, and then establishing proprietary add-ons. I’ve been working with my company, http://www.allinonepdf.com one replicating this type of model with moderate success. Where it goes from here is anyone’s guess.
