Intel and pals toss coins at party in the cloud, business at the back startup

Vanishing EMC golden handcuffs could cause brain drain

I was there

As someone who worked for Dell at the time it went private I can say that what happened with the stock any employee held was that it was immediately converted to cash and paid out. No vesting schedule.

UK lords aim probe into Silicon Valley oligarchs

The House of Lords really? Don't ya just love largely ceremonial governments bodies trying to show that they actually have a reason to exist.

That fact that Dell is using PowerEdge servers and the MD line of storage, which traditionally was the lowest end line of storage and not anywhere near the so-called Enterprise capabilities of the Compellent line, goes to show that Dell has now done to Compellent what it did to EqualLogic before. Seeing as how I worked for the EqualLogic group at Dell when we were politically screwed over by Alan Atkinson and his most favored son group in Minnesota I can't help but laugh hysterically that they finally got what we all knew was going to happen to them eventually.
