Monkcast #11: Green APIs, open sourcing discontinued software, and more
Summary
The boys from Redmonk (James Governor and Michael Cote) and I recorded our 11th MonkCast today and as usual, we were all over the technology map. As a part of their GreenMonk initiative, the 3 Musketeers Governor, Cote, and Stephen OGrady (who wasnt present for the call -- but who did get relocated to the Asia-Pacific region, unbeknownst to him) are looking into the idea of green APIs. But I also was silently surprised at how close American Airlines came to getting it right: I was the only one on the "bubble" and I did in fact get on to a packed flight with one seat left five minutes before they shut the door. As a result of shaking down some tech this week on video, one ZDNet reader commented that they like the idea of how Vistas auto defragging feature pipes down its activities while youre at the keyboard doing work (so as not to slow the system down). Going back to my Tech Shakedowns, one ZDNet reader said he wished that discontinued versions of Windows would be open sourced.
