All's calm on the IT front

I recently shared what I thought the financial crisis means for IT. And on a day like today, as the stock market crumbles before our eyes, it's good to keep that in mind.

Our retirement savings might temporarily be swirling down the toilet, but innovation isn't a commodity that's bought and sold. Great ideas will still find great funding. And great developers and apps will still find customers in need.

And the financial markets? They'll bounce back.
