Via jim.roepcke.com:Side-by-Side Hypocrisy:"In short, the answer is that DLL hell exists only because Microsoft originated and perpetuated it. So it's ludicrous for Microsoft to boast that it has devised a way for developers to get the DLL hell out of Windows. DLL hell is Windows.

Via jim.roepcke.com: The source is everything:" The revelation that awaits these folks is that this question is absolutely meaningless when it comes to closed-source software. All closed-source software is a time bomb. Anyone who doesn't hear the ticking is in denial. There are only two types of closed-source software vendors: those whose software becomes obsolete and impossible to support, and those whose software becomes obsolete and impossible to support but that have a better sales strategy."

Videogame consoles are the PC of the future
- Consoles don't crash and then take 10 minutes to reboot unlike PCs. I hope from that perspective that they are the future! The Newton also doesn't crash and reboots instantly too! This is one area where the PC based XBox may alienate gamers! I wonder how often an XBox crashes? Guess: more often than a PS2!

Alsop: My New Favorite Toy - " There is a bigger problem in digital music, and the success of the iPod makes me all the more anxious to see it solved. I'd like to have all my music--no, all my media--in digital form. I want, in other words, a common digital warehouse for household media, a warehouse that can be tapped in to by my many different devices." - Amen!
