They came, they saw, they conquered. Six years ago it was 75 attendees and a bunch of servers in a pickup truck (this is Texas after all). This year, 7,500 descended on my adopted city to revel in the fact that OpenStack is finally growing up. For those of you not in the know, OpenStack is an open source alternative to public cloud offerings like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or hosted virtualization from VMware. OpenStack supporters view it as a way to get the agility of AWS without having to move your applications (and more importantly your data) outside of a datacenter that you own and control. Judging from the event this week, the momentum is definitely on OpenStack’s side, and we’ll be hearing more about this in the future. Not only from the tech world, but soon from the business people as well. You’ve been asking for OpenStack for years, you just didn’t realize it. Follow along and you’ll see.

Recently, eBay announced a strategic relationship with BigCommerce that allows the latter’s merchants to seamlessly list their products and manage their inventory on the eBay marketplace. The partnership will give the merchants of BigCommerce access to eBay’s 162 million active buyers and increase the selection of products available on eBay’s marketplace. While this relationship promotes a multi-channel seamless online selling environment for merchants, it can significantly expand eBay’s seller base and enhance its portfolio of products. We believe that, as eBay works on its turnaround plant, this relationship should add positively to its transaction volume. As more small merchants use its platform for their products, it should attract more buyers and drive revenues for the company in future.

It’s not clear why WhatsApp would want to invest in developing native apps when it already has a web client, which is easier to develop, can be updated…
Meizu es una de las empresas chinas más interesantes de los últimos años. El fabricante lleva un crecimiento espectacular, y ha lanzado al mercado unos cuantos dispositivos dignos de mención. Uno de los últimos ha sido el recientemente presenentado Meizu M3 Note, además del Meizu Pro 6. Muchos esperaban que el Meizu MX6 llegase antes que el modelo orientado a profesionales, pero el fabricante ha decidido lanzar dicho dispositivo antes que su otro tope de gama.
Entonces, ¿qué pasa con el Meizu MX6?Según hemos podido leer en PocketNow, el Meizu MX6 llegará durante la seunda mitad de este año. El Meizu MX5 se presentó en junio del año pasado, con lo que es probable que veamos a su sucesor por las mismas fechas, aunque no es algo seguro.
Por ahora no sabemos las características del Meizu MX6
En lo que se refiere a las posibles especificaciones del dispositivo, no sabemos todavía qué inlcuirá el fabricante en el Meizu MX6. La familia MX de la empresa solía ser la que incluía a los flagships, pero ya no es así. Desde el Meizu MX4 Pro, que ya pasó por nuestros análisis, la serie Pro ha superado siempre a la MX. Esto hace que nos planteemos si realmente este terminal va a ser un tope de gama o sólo una versión algo más modesta del Meizu Pro 6.
Según se recoge, existe la posibilidad de que el Meizu MX6 ocupe un espacio en la gama media-alta y que no comparta las especificaciones del Meizu Pro 6. Se ha mencionado que el procesador MediaTek Helio X20 será el que lo impulse, y que contará con una cámara trasera de 21 megapíxeles. El smartphone estará fabricado de metal con casi toda probabilidad, y tendrá un botón físico bajo la pantalla como viene siendo habitual en este fabricante.

Guy Chiarello has been a towering figure at the intersection between financial services and technology for multiple decades. He foresaw the power of digital business as Chief Information Officer of JP Morgan Chase before digital was the term of art or a department within corporations. He and his team there were responsible for the award-winning Chase Mobile App Suite, which grew its customer base to more than 10 million users in its first two years. He was also among the first to usher in peer-to-peer payments at scale. Perhaps most critical to his success, at a remarkably early period, he understood the power of pushing his businesses to think of IT as a source of innovation, and he ensured that he recruited the kinds of people who could deliver on that promise.
