Tech Companies That Won't Survive 2009
buzzardsbay writes "Fresh off their annual market survey, eWEEK channel folks have compiled the list of tech vendors their readers think will fail, falter, or be sold off in 2009. It's important to note that these aren't the opinions of the magazine or its editors. The list comes from folks who work in IT, mostly technology resellers, who are out in the field selling, installing and maintaining this stuff. If there were ever canaries in the tech coal mine, they'd be these service and solution providers who live and die by the slightest shift in the markets. Some of the companies on this list, like Sun and AMD, are shocking because of their size. Others, like CA and Symantec, not so surprising." What other companies are headed for implosion, or should be if all were right with the universe?
VMware holy shit. KVM FTW.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Didn't your hear?
Flash is to the web, what Power Point presentations are to meetings.
Every fucking asshole jackass thinks they're cool by making a fucking Flash presentation. Just like every fucking asshole jackass has to think they're cool by putting together a PowerPoint slide.
To every asshole organization, journalist, website, author that generates flash:
Hey asshole: Just give us the data in plain text. Not everyone is a fucking idiot. We do understand numbers and can read sentences, unlike you apparently.
