You need the background for open source, iPhone, Android, Google, Apple before you can understand the point that I am trying to make here.

Union Beer Distributors use Open Atrium for their sign/poster requests

At Union Beer Distributors, sales representatives send out many sign/poster requests to their internal sign shop every day. The sign shop used to ask the sales reps to fill out a paper form in order to start the process. Later on, any issues during the producing process are solved by phone calls, emails, or in-person communication. As you can imagine, this approach can easily get out of control with small problems. Therefore, a centralized, and streamlined system is needed.

Android-Drupal Marriage

Android is a great open source mobile platform. On the local device, it has many sensors (for example, GPS) to collect much information that a user can or cannot easily gather. The information travels through the internet, works with remote resources, and returns to users with rich customized results and functionality. This awesomeness -- because of much processing power and logic workflow needed on the Cloud -- demands an equally powerful and open platform on the server end. If developers build a powerful server framework from stretch, it is not fun and too costly to be a favorable solution.

Who is secretly financing Drupal or Joomla?

Update: I wrote this Econ paper in 2007 while I was still in college. At that time, I didn't even have installed Drupal. Thanks for the comments!

Abstract

The market of CMSes has become hotter since the web 2.0 movement. Drupal and Joomla the top 2 open source CMSes are consolidating in the market. This consolidation could be beneficial to software giants Microsoft and Google; therefore Microsoft and Google could secretly finance Drupal and Joomla.

10 大软件/硬件组合让你的移动生活更加精彩

10 Killer Bundles To Boost Up Your Mobile Productivity我的手机已经成为我生活非常重要的一部分。在各个方面,我都在利用手机给我太来的巨大优势。就在最近,新工作的第一天,我就先用公司outlook的功能查看到了同事的姓名和职位,然后我又用facebook查到了我的老板的年龄. 而这一切都是在别人没有察觉的时候在我的手机上完成的。有些人也许说,像这样的功能完全可以在一个电脑上完成。没错,但是当强大的功能可以轻巧携带的时候,大家的生活和工作会变得意想不到的精彩。比如,我的手机上有个按钮叫作手电筒,这个功能把我手机上的照相机闪光灯变成了一个小手电筒。当夜晚回家找钥匙的时候,这就非常方便。另外一个例子是当我在外旅游,我可以使用很多在线地图(例如Map Quest, HopStop, 和Google Maps)来找出我想要去的地方。这仅是两个例子,我还想和大家分享手机更多巧妙的用途,但是我认为更重要的是把手机上的软、硬件装备心得写出来,大家有了基础以后可以自己发觉更新的运用。

10 Killer Bundles To Boost Up Your Mobile ProductivityMy cell phone has been playing one of the biggest roles in my life. I use it for (infinitely) many things. Recently, when I started a new job, on the first day I used the company's outlook to look up my new colleagues’ names and titles; I also used facebook to find out my boss's age. All of those searching were done on my Pocket PC without any noticing. Some people might say that usage like this can only be handled well by a desktop. Yes, but when smooth functionality encounters mobility, it can make life much easier and work more productive than a desktop or laptop can. For example, my cell phone has a flashlight button which simply turns on the camera flash; this becomes extremely handy when I need to find my keys in the dark. Another example is when I am on a trip; I use HopStop and Google Maps on my cell phone to figure out where and how to get places. There are many other uses I could share, but I feel it is more important to share what software I would put on a cell phone and how to take advantage of the whole package.
