This is quite amazing, lifting the lid on the way money is spent on software in the US military.

Few companies manage to find a people solution for a technology problem, but I particularly this example as they did something that breaks the mould, yet in hindsight looks obvious.

Perhaps this is why I felt so immediately uncomfortable when the iPad was first unveiled. Perhaps this is the beginning of the future.

I completely agree with Mr Wilson, and I advocate the British Government follows the same advice.

Great line from the Macalope:

Based on all this rock-solid evidence, the technopunditocracy leaped into action.

Of course the evidence here was hot air, like so often. I fundamentally agree. If something is announced then write about it. If it isn’t then please don’t waffle about it – we don’t care.

As Mr Carmo says:

Michael Mace delivers great writing yet again. If you read one long technology article today, make it this one.
