IT Myths

Posted by michael on from the mything-link dept.

linuxwrangler writes "A special report in this week's InfoWorld tackles the six big myths in IT. Among the findings: server upgrades don't matter, 80 percent of corporate data is not on mainframes, C[IT]Os really do need technological savvy, most IT projects may be late or over budget but they don't fail, IT does scale and nearly all big shops do run multiple platforms."

    Have you read Asimov's lost masterpiece? [homeip.net]

    How is "The end of the eternity" a lost masterpiece? I readed it a lot of years ago, and, while I agree it is a great book, it is by no means "lost". That sounds like the book was found recently and published postmortem.

    I don't get it.

    1. It was apparently out of print for many years and has only been reprinted fairly recently.

    2. Almost no one here knows anything that Asimov wrote other than his Robot works.

    "Lost" may be stretching it slightly, but then I don't have a whole lot of space in 120 characters. :-)
