Get the maybe-latest here. There's speculation on timetables which really says very little.
I still want to keep this in people's minds because how the IPO goes is going to effect other IPOs, market valuations, VC investments and more. This may not be a good effect, but it will be a effect.
Yesterday I discussed that I felt the decline of the PC was related strongly to the decline of Corporate IT. But what does it mean for your career, my fellow progeek? I figured I'd collect my random thoughts to see if it gave you ideas, or caused panic. Or something.
Last week, I noted that some say Apple had their first post-PC quarter – and that this isn't suprising. In fact, ilke the "CorpTechPocalypse", the slow dying of IT departments, this is a completely predictable trend. In fact, I think they're the same thing.
Really, the dying of the average IT department is pretty much the same reason that companies are aiming for a post-PC market.
(Now I agree with our own Scott that it's not a post-PC world in that the world will forget PC's. I view what's coming as a world where the PC's role shrinks considerably. But I call it Post-PC as the other term I heard, "PC Plus," doesn't cut it for me)
So what are these similarities?
