Amazon, Steve Jobs and Virtual VMware

A quick round-up of breaking unreal tech news, starting with Amazon's announcement of a new online payments service.

We continue to believe that Amazon is one of the most underappreciated innovators in the consumer Internet sector," wrote analyst Scott Devit. The analyst said Amazon's program heralds an era of improving and new electronic payment programs.

In other words, Paypal and Mastercard and Visa are dead, long live AmazonPal. The only thing that marred the analyst's analysis was the unreal statement that he would buy Amazon for mid $60's. Er, right, when the shares have just been $86 and there is no reason to suppose that Amazon's performance isn't going to continue its meteoric rise, who wouldn't want a $25 discount?!

The real unreal Steve Jobs


The blogger lampooning Steve Jobs as part of an experiment on corporate leader blogging, has been unmasked, at last. He was amazed that it took so long to unveil his identity, and all you can say is - so much for the ability of the average Joe geek to expose anonymous bloggers. Basking in his exposure, the unreal Steve Jobs filled us in on his next move.

Well, I'm taking a few days off to sit in a lake and do some yoga and meditation and non-thinking. Then I'm coming back next week, badder than ever, with a new sponsor - my homeboys at Forbes.com.

If anyone at Forbes wants to lampoon Ed the Editor, feel free.

Virtual world on your desktop


It has been a while since you needed to sit with 2 computers on your desk, neck swivelling madly, in order to enjoy Mac and Windows simultaneously. The virtual desktop is here, and here to stay. The main protagonist is VMware, and they just released their latest greatest version of Fusion. A shame that the only review they have on VersionTracker is in triplicate and is so glowing it must have been written by the unreal VMware CEO?
