Can somebody give an example of that IBM score card, please? Is it just another Balanced Score Card system, just adapted to software development? The article misses to give that information.
Cry me a river! America's innovation lost its shine, because of outsourcing every single production bit overseas.
Most innovation steps are incremental improvements, not radical. Therefore, feedback from the market (customers) and from the production line is absolutely necessary. By outsourcing production to an external contractor, companies will first loose the feedback from production. Once the outsourcing contractors know the products, they will get to know the sales channels, too. In time companies loose their market, their ability to produce products and finally the ability to improve their products.
What we see today is the result of a short-sighted service-oriented economic principle. Wake up! Start "doing" things, again.
Yeah, the Toshiba firmware is politely spoken, unusable. If you want access to the Google market place plus CIFS access to your home servers plus Flash, etc., you seriously should consider to download a modified Android version and install it on your Folio.

"The most complicated machine ever built got knocked out of the sky by a pound and a half of foam."
In my opinion this is clearly a call for a more robust, maybe simpler technology. O-rings, lost pieces of foam, what will it be next time? I'm starting to believe that the current shuttle technology is so TITANIC, that it's better to stop the running program immediately and switch over to disposable rockets until a new, more robust generation of shuttles becomes available.
I recommend to stop constructing use cases for something that is sooo blatant superfluous and over the edge like this.
Ok, 100 nerd points out of 100 for technical coolness, but interoperability is key!
IMO this is something to brag about on a lunch break, but not something to rely on in a typical business scenario, especially not for backup purposes or share data with the co(w)-worker next door. Btw. most information is shared over the network these days, isn't it?
With DVD+/-/R/RW already taking market share and media prices falling, this is just the swan song of an outdated technology.
