joyent-logo

bryan-cantrillBryan Cantrill is the CTO of Joyent , a cloud container company just purchased by Samsung.  He found himself suddenly on stage at a tech conference the day after the election of Donald Trump.  Most of the audience was in a state of shock but Bryan challenged them to see this as the long term outcome of forces that had been at work for at least a generation.  He called it: “Distrumption” a play on the concept of disruption.

Evaluating The Apple iPhone 7…Keeping Up With the Red Dwarf…Shane’s Games

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]iphone_7_airpods
