Ground Truth Emerges From Stealth Mode to Shine Light on the Mobile Web – GigaOM
Ground Truth Emerges From Stealth Mode to Shine Light on the Mobile Web – GigaOM: "The surge in mobile applications has given rise to a small army of players that offer analytics for app usage, giving developers and advertisers valuable information about how consumers are using their specific applications and responding to ads. But the mobile web overall has long suffered for a lack of rock-solid data.

Citrix’s GoToMyPC (Finally) Remotely Controls Macs From Anywhere – GigaOM
Citrix’s GoToMyPC (Finally) Remotely Controls Macs From Anywhere – GigaOM: "Although according to researchers at IDC, Citrix remains the market share leader in remote access software, with 70 percent share, GoToMyPC’s inability to date to access Mac systems remotely from either PCs or Macs has caused many users to turn to competitors. LogMeIn, for example, offers a free version of its remote control software for use with Macs and is favored by many users and IT administrators. LogMeIn is also Apple-friendly enough to offer a remote control application that works on iPhones and iPod touches. WebEx’s PCNow also offers iPhone control of remote Mac computers. (Citrix still doesn’t offer a version of GoToMyPC for the iPhone.)"

Dark Clouds for Darkstrand - BusinessWeek: "when NLR and Internet2 were planning to merge, there was talk of ripping out the Cisco gear. Darkstrand executives said they were in close talks with Cisco to get newer gear and upgrade the networks, in addition to spending their own money on other types of equipment. If it gets them paying customers, it would be money well spent."
