CIOs split on Web services picks
Chief information officers are divided when it comes to choosing between Microsoft and Java technologies for Web services, according to a new study from Merrill Lynch. Ni l'un ni l'autre? Les deux en même temps? N'est-ce pas là un des objectif des Web Services, du code sur plusieurs machines, peu importe le OS ou le language de programmation? Oh boy, il reste du chemin à faire, le pire c'est qu'il y a des CIO ou CTO qui prennent des décisions importantes basées sur des articles du genre.

NewsInEssence: Web-based News Summarization
A team of researchers at the University of Michigan has developed NewsInEssence, a free, Web-based service that automates the collection of multiple, related news stories concerning a given event that users selects. Quel bon concept, surtout si on peut l'appliquer à n'importe quelle source... puissant! A première vue ca fonctionne par reconnaissance textuelle/contextuelle.

Holding our email hostage
Just as terrorists win when they trigger a breakdown in the system, the spammers, through their unwitting agents and amplifiers, the blackhole vigilantes, seem to be on the verge of causing email providers to create larger and larger disconnects among us poor users.

Does Open Source Software Really Work?
This article on NewsFactor does a decent job of covering some of the issues facing Open Source Software (OSS). It points to Linux's growth area, non-mission critical projects in mid-sized companies, and it's main weakness, the desktop. It also briefly discusses Linux's potential growth into mission critical applications if scalability issues are addressed. Quick easy read.

Matt commenting the Abe Lincoln and the internet pirates article.
In his piece the 359th richest person in America urges us not to steal... The real crime here is (Disney's) lack of innovation and willingness. We're 'pirates' simply because there is no other alternative. Please give me that alternative.
