>IBM Research shows off modular hardware device.. InfoWorld: IBM Research shows off modular hardware device. "Code-named MetaPad, the device, which is three-quarters of an inch thick and measures 3 inches by 5 inches, is capable of holding all of a user's applications and data with a bare-bones hardware configuration."

>Google hosts programming code-off. Just for fun, the geeks'-choice search engine is offering $10,000 to creative coders. Any wildly profitable ideas that come out of it would just be a fringe benefit. [CNET News.com] comments < 6:40:23 PM
>Miguel de Icaza: Mono and GNOME. "I am not sure what people told Richard Stallman about my plans. Given the confusion surrounding .NET, it is very possible that people were asking 'Miguel wants to depend on Passport' or something just as bad as that."  [Scripting News]comments < 6:40:12 PM
> I wrote a piece about Microsoft's Scripting Strategy on August 31, but before the idea had a chance to develop, we switched gears like everyone else to focus on the WTC attack and terrorism. Now that things have settled back, it's worth another look, esp in light of Miguel de Icaza's plans. I like Miguel. I think everyone who meets Miguel likes him. But I don't support what he's doing, now that I understand it better after reading the post linked to above. I believe diversity is the only approach that works. A monoculture, devised by Microsoft, no matter how well-intentioned (another subject) is a very bad idea. [Scripting News]comments < 6:40:02 PM
>Key point: "As far as I'm concerned, there's no problem with Microsoft doing what Microsoft does as long as the rest of us act in our own self-interest. The situation I'd like to avoid is a one party system, like the one we have in Web browsers today, and in desktop operating systems." [Scripting News]comments < 6:39:49 PM

>Earnings alert: Cisco's anticlimax. The networking giant beats estimates by 4 cents...Sonicblue hits its revised target...Ciena expects to report a wider first-quarter loss. [CNET News.com] comments < 6:39:25 PM
>Radio 8.0.4 is an app-only release that adds Simple Cross-Network Scripting, a feature that was designed four years ago, that pushes Radio to the leading-edge in simple client-side scripting of XML-RPC (today) and SOAP (later this month). It has an open driver-based architecture so support for new protocols can be added without kernel changes. [Scripting News]comments < 6:39:11 PM
>Intel "hyper-threading" to debut soon. The chipmaker's "hyper-threading" technology for boosting chip performance will debut soon with its first server versions of the Pentium 4 chip. [CNET News.com] comments < 6:38:55 PM
