In this episode, James and Coté talk with Tarquinio Teles, CEO of Hoplon, about their decision to run their MMP game on System z mainframes with Linux.

The details of how Hoplon are using IBM's On Demand mainframes as a grid are interesting and slightly different than the mainframe story we're used to hearing. In fact, it seems quite similar to the coolness of Amazon's recent E2 launch.

So, check it out.

IBM has some additional material up on Hoplon as well.

In this episode, all three of us talk with Microsoft's Jason Matusow and Amy Marasco about the recently announced Microsoft Open Specification Promise. In addition to the OSP and standard in general, we spend quite a bit of time talking out loud about where a "free to use" standard starts and where a busineses core money-makers begin.

The quality of this recording is not too good. We were unable to use Skype, so I recorded the audio out of my phone. The results are fuzzy and "round," but listenable. Apologies to listeners, as well as Jason and Amy.

About half-way through, Steve breaks up a little bit. Please pardon the VoIP snafu.

My podcasting buddy, Charles Lowell, is the founder of The Front Side, a company he's starting around an AJAX framework, Freestyle, that he and his people have worked on for the past year. So it made sense to get him and André Charland, of eBusinessApplications, together to talk about the technology and business of AJAX. Or "making money with AJAX" as I like to call it.

That's a topic both podcast audiences will enjoy, so here we are sharing an episode between both podcasts ;> So enjoy the episode!
