My switch is not as religious as some others such as Mark Pilgrim. I just could not deal with the server errors and was worried about [...]

Om Malik, Friday, May 28, 2004 at 5:05 PM PT Comments (2)

Cradle Technologies, a Silicon Valley start-up has been on my radar for a while, and many people have raved about its programable chip technology. Founder/CEO Artie Chang is a well known name in this part of the world, and is a serious chiphead. It has some serious Silicon Valley backers, but apparently even that was [...]

In case anyone missed the launch of Cisco’s big honking router (talk about mega publicity) I have a column today on Business 2.0. This new box, formerly known as Huge F******g Router (HFR) is now called Carrier Routing System. (CRS-1)
