Oblix Joins Oracle

Oblix Joins Oracle 03/29/2005 06:33 AM
In an open letter to Oblix customers, Rick Simmons, Vice President of Oblix inc. announced plans that the company would be merging with Oracle.

"The union of our two companies will provide an even greater security solution for our customers ...... the combined strength of Oracle's worldwide presence and its extensive software and services business coupled with Oblix's products, people, and vision bring to the industry an unprecedented ability to build identity into software infrastructure and applications while continuing to deliver a new generation of identity offerings"

Oblix is a privately held developer of identity-based security solutions for heterogeneous computing environments. Originally founded in 1996, the company is a leading developer of identity management software that allows web access control including Single Sign On (SSO), identity administration and user provisioning. Oblix also provides security and regulatory compliance solutions.

The merger benefits Oracle customers and will provide them with a complete solution for securely managing identities. Oracle recently purchased software company Peoplesoft in a bid to maintain it's presence as a global heavyweight in the industry. It faces increased competition from the likes of Microsoft who has big plans for identity management software in the next revision of Windows, codenamed Longhorn.

Effective today, you can find out more about the merger here.

Oblix bows out of MIIS Alliance

Oblix bows out of MIIS Alliance 06/17/2005 04:49 PM
When Oracle acquired Oblix a couple of months ago, I speculated on what might happen to the Oblix seat in the MIIS Alliance (see "What will Oracle do with the MIIS Alliance?" link below). MIIS is the Microsoft Identity Integration Server, a meta-directory service that's currently available as a stand-alone product, but with the shipment of Windows Server 2003 R2 late this year, will be "in the box" with shipping Windows servers.

I just bought a Mac

I just bought a Mac 09/26/2004 05:22 AM

That's right, I bought a Mac. A cheap iBook, to be exact. I'm not planning to write software for the Mac, but I do want to keep up with the goings-on in the Mac world, and I could also learn a lot from the Mac UI. See, there's one thing that Apple consistently gets right that Microsoft consistently gets wrong: style.

After working with OS-X for a few hours, switching back to Windows is like partying with Charlize Theron then coming home to Kathy Bates. Sure, Kathy Bates is exceptionally talented, but sometimes a little glamour is exciting.

MusicNet Bought Out; Will Try, Try Again

MusicNet Bought Out; Will Try, Try Again 04/13/2005 01:28 AM
Back in the late 90s, as the recording industry noticed (way too late) that the world was passing them by with file sharing, some politicians began to realize that the industry wasn't doing anything other than whining about how the market had changed on them. After some quiet threats from these politicians, the industry realized it had to at least go through the motions of offering music downloads, and so they created and funded two online music services that were both clearly designed to fail miserably, MusicNot and PressPause... er... MusicNet and PressPlay. Since they were terribly designed with high prices and poor selection (the perfect combo!), users pretty much ignore d them. PressPlay was eventually sold off to what's now Napster and MusicNet has chugged along supported almost entirely by AOL, who has rebranded much of the service as their own. Now, however, the company has been sold to some private investors who claim they're going to revitalize the service. Considering the number of weak, expensive, difficult to use, incompatible music download stores out there, it seems unlikely that a company like MusicNet will break the mold any time soon.

Bought a G5 right before the update?

Bought a G5 right before the update? 11/25/2003 10:22 PM
If you purchased a G5 right before yesterday's update, you don't need us to tell you that life sucks. If you want to help heal the wounds, take a look at Apple's price match policy. As long as you didn't get the 1.8GHz, it looks like you can get the difference back. The price match is only good for 10 days before the update, so if you bought before that, life still sucks.

LiveJournal Bought Out

LiveJournal Bought Out 01/06/2005 09:19 AM
LiveJournal, the blogging site, has been bought up by Six Apart, the company behind the MovableType weblog software. The buy-out will see staff working with Danga, the company which previously owned LiveJournal, move to San Francisco to work with the new owners.

LiveJournal's creator, Brad Fitzpatrick, said the move will mean "nothing earth-shattering" for the existing service. However, users are to get access to trackback for the first time. "They're not buying the site to spam you, screw you, destroy the community, or convert you en masse to their other paid services," Fitzpatrick said. "They just want to double our efforts and have a part in all types of blogging. "

Six Apart CEO, Barak Berkowitz, added: "We are now the only company to offer the full range of weblogging tools to the market," he said. "We welcome LiveJournal users to the Six Apart family, and promise to keep the LiveJournal culture and quality which has earned their devotion."

Fitzpatrick promised development of LiveJournal will continue after the move; prices would not rise and free accounts would not be scrapped, he said. Since it started up five years ago, LiveJournal has built up a community of over five million users - it currently claims to have just short of 2.5 million actively-updated blogs on its servers.

Intelliseek's BlogPulse Conversation Tracker is the sort of tool that I expected Technorati to build last year. In fact, I've joked about trying to build it myself using their API. (Could I sell it to them if I did?) And the BlogPulse Trend Search is kinda cool too. Just for kicks, I did a Trend Search...
