- Murdoch: Google is mortal and together we can kill it • The Register
"Everyone's missed the clever part of Rupert Murdoch's broadside against Google last week. [...] What Murdoch has done is say the unspeakable. He's offered a roadmap for taming Google – and a re-ordering of everything we take for granted about the web today."

"The fundamental difference as I see it, is that Scrum is a disruptive and amplifying system. It turns your project up to 11, and highlights the flaws in the way you do everything. These flaws surface as impediments and it’s then the ScrumMaster’s role to remove these impediments; this is where Scrum gets its power to improve, and why the ScrumMaster is such a challenging and difficult role if taken seriously. [...] Kanban on the other hand is a gentler more forgiving system. Especially to start with. You map and measure your existing process, make it visible & then begin to limit work-in-progress and track cycle time. Its proponents say that this is the less disruptive more pragmatic approach. [...] My purpose here is to highlight the danger in mixing the philosophy of Kanban with the practice of Scrum." (kanban scrum agile software_development ) - Motorola DROID review
