I mentioned a good article on Marissa Mayer back in May ( https://algray.com/?p=76 ) and today learned that she’s left Google, where she ran Google’s location and local services, to become Yahoo’s CEO.
This move probably says more about Google than Yahoo. With two founders (Larry Page and Sergey Brin) and Eric E. Schmidt (as the Executive Chairman) around, she may have left to have the shot at being the chief.
This link takes you to a article about today’s announcement. http://bit.ly/O6j5c9
“By 2012, most computing and storage will be in the cloud, and we’ll stop calling it the cloud.”

According to Gartner, 2011 SaaS revenues were $12.3 billion and they expect that number to climb to $14.5 billion for 2012.
Gartner claims that North America is where much of the growth will come from and that the USA is expected to reach $7.8 billion in 2012, up from $7.8 billion in 2011.
But what about engineering specifically?
