The perks and frustrations of Pinterest for Android - @KristenNicole2 | @Appolicious

Pinterest took its sweet time creating mobile app versions of its popular pinboard website, and I wish I could say it was worth the wait. There are certainly advantages to an official Pinterest Android app, but there are also some limitations compared to the full-fledged website (which can still be accessed via mobile devices) and the mobile-optimized website version of Pinterest…

Art with a Conscience: Mona El-Bayoumi on Creativity, Egyptian Politics, and being African-Arab | @LiveUnchained

Media_httpwwwliveunch_ecfle
When talking about socially conscious art, which serves a purpose beyond its aesthetic value, a few names come to mind. Mona El-Bayoumi stands among those venerable ranks. An Egyptian-born, Michigan-bred, Washington, D.C.-based artist, Mona exemplifies what it means to be a global artist. Her art is beautiful, but more importantly, it is meaningful. Influenced by disparate cultures and locales and a resolve to voice injustice, Mona uses the canvas to illuminate connections between people’s suffering the world over. Her work is an attempt at subverting the status quo and elevating to the surface that which goes unnoticed, encouraging viewers to think, without being obvious or endorsing a certain political agenda. Simply put, Mona’s work illustrates the idea that in its highest form, art is ultimately about striving to make individuals question all that exists.In this interview we discuss the political inspiration of Mona’s work, how she believes Egyptian uprisings “have been hijacked,” why she would like to see all Egyptians fully embracing their African identity, and, of course, what living unchained means to her…

My Latest on @Forbes - Business Intelligence (BI) Trends Go Beyond Analytics - @FirstRain @Quantivo

IDC’s latest big data report contains several new observations on the big data market, which the research firm says grew by almost 15 percent in 2011. IDC found that warehousing software and apps were the two fastest growing segments in this industry, with business intelligence following suite just 0.1 percent behind applications.

BI vendors are starting to pay special attention to this data-driven shift, and SAP’s recent update to several of its most popular products is one of the newest examples to validate this trend, a trend that has most certainly not gone unnoticed…

Open Source Cloud Misconceptions, Chaos and Evolution: Q&A with Zenoss Cloud guy @PlatenReport | @SiliconAngle

Media_httpsiliconangl_zxywh
Zenoss Cloud Evangelist Floyd Strimling has plenty to say on the matter, making his case for the commercialization of the open source cloud in order to bring it up to the standards required to fix an ailing enterprise. It seems everyone has an opinion on how to fix the “legacy problem,” and Strimling takes on an entire industry with a critical eye on the misconceptions of open source cloud solutions, looking at the big picture when describing the changes that need to, and will likely occur in the coming years. In today’s Snapshot Series Strimling discusses the open source cloud with a tone of realism, revealing his own vision of IT’s future in the process. Unified communications is a must for the enterprise where niche solutions and their respective departments must learn to work together towards a common goal. We’ll also hear how Zenoss fits into the big picture, and learn why Strimling likes Batman over Ironman.

If you were wondering how the public would take to Google’s first attempt at a home entertainment streaming device, just look at the enthusiasm around its launch. First day on the shelves, and the Nexus Q is sold out. If you try to buy one from the Google Play store, you’ll see a message that reads “Coming Soon,” and an estimated wait time of 2-3 weeks…
