Have you unpacked a children’s toy set, game, doll things or any kid’s play thing that has several pieces recently? My 5 year old got a big box with a baby doll, her bassinette, bottle, baby food, rattles, and the other accessories any new born and mommy may need to care for the infant. I’ve this noticed before but trying to take, rather unlatch all the stuff included is a major task. Every little item was so secured to the inner packaging that it took me several minutes to untie, clip, cut and otherwise unshackle the items from the box. Everything was locked down with either thick twist-ties or those plastic things with the ‘T’ on both ends – you know the ones where if it’s stuck to the item, you cut one end and shove the other end inside the item, never to seen again. And just when you think you’ve got them all and ready to pull everything out, there’s always one more hidden one that snags the escape….and the adult’s patience. This packaging, this method of securing toys sure makes getting to the toys a challenge. There sometimes comes a point where you just want to rip it right out but you know it’ll damage the toy along with the kid’s excitement watching each accessory painstakingly extricated from the box. And don’t get me started on those blister wrap packages – it’s like they soldered them closed and you need a chainsaw or a blowtorch just to open it.

This past week most of the VMworld event team headed to Las Vegas to look at the hotels, taste some of the food that will be served and meet with vendors. Based on this meeting we are getting even more excited for VMworld 2011 and all the special events, programs and sessions that attendees will experience.
General Sessions, Super Sessions, Labs, Solutions Exchange and most all of the Breakout Sessions will be held at The Venetian. Due to the growth of the event, the Partner program will be in the amazing Wynn hotel, across the street. Attendees will be given the opportunity to take a free shuttle to and from the hotels or enjoy a 10-minute walk and a bit of fresh air.
The food at both hotels was exquisite and many of the items served are sure to be a hit with attendees during breaks, lunch and VMworld hosted parties. Speaking of parties, final details are being worked out regarding the VMworld Party on Wednesday night and you don’t want to miss it. There are also other activities in the works to entertain and get you networking with colleagues so if you haven’t registered for VMworld 2011, don’t wait. If you have registered then refer your colleagues program and receive an Apple iPad 2. See details of the program here.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas to learn about the next wave in virtualization and cloud computing. Register now.

Oracle said Wednesday morning that it’s buying Pillar Data Systems, a 10-year-old storage house that belongs mostly to Oracle chief Larry Ellison.
It’s like the way Sun used to buy companies that belonged to founder Andy Bechtolsheim. That’s how Sun came by OpenOffice.
Oracle says the Pillar deal was cut by an independent committee of its board and is structured as a 100% earn-out with no upfront payment. The acquisition should close in July and whatever Oracle winds up paying is supposed to be immaterial.
Pillar makes highly scalable ZFS-based Axiom SAN Block I/O storage systems. Buying it is supposed to help flesh out the storage line Oracle got with Sun.
