Paul Boutin. Bill Gates' memo paints a picture of a Web free world:
"When we started work on Microsoft .NET more than two years ago, we set a new direction for the company -- and articulated a new way to think about our software. Rather than developing standalone applications and Websites, today we're moving towards smart clients with rich user interfaces interacting with Web services. We're driving the XML Web services standards so that systems from all vendors can share information, while working to make Windows the best client and server for this new era. " Bill Gates wants to kill the browser as an interface (Note: Microsoft has halted all development on the browser). In Bill's perfect world, every Website would transition to a rich desktop client using .Net as its basis.
Personally, I think the Web should seamlessly interconnect with the desktop. Why? It's easy. It's standards based. It's open. It leverages all the skills that the world has developed over the last 7 years. It bootstraps existing content and services to a new level of interactivity and value. What's needed to turn this around? A desktop CMS that makes it possible to build Web apps for the desktop that integrate with the larger Web.
Bill has been wrong before, let's prove him wrong again. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Wired News reports on the electromagnetic exposure debate: I've been reading research into this issue since the early 90s, including the legendary VDT News, Microwave News, and the actual text of the Swedish and Finnish studies so widely cited. The fact is that 25 years after widespread adoption of VDTs and CRTs in workplaces, there is no pattern that has emerged of any kind. [80211b News]
