!!! .< 10:02:05 PM  >Microsoft's U.S. Settlement Won't Clear Path in Europe. Microsoft's settlement with the United States Justice Department will not easily serve as a template for resolving the case in Europe. By Paul Meller.

[Janet's Radio Weblog] Thanks Janet! .< 9:21:41 PM >Elections are a brutal business. Regardless of what political party we're talking about, it's always hard to watch the angst that co-workers feel in the days immediately after an election. I saw it two years ago when the NDP were ousted, and again today, as dozens of Liberal political staff are cleaning out their desks and starting to consider their futures. In both instances, most of them were/are good people, despite what the general public might think. They're just ordinary people who have families and who are doing the best job they can. It's one of the sad realities of the party system. [Janet's Radio Weblog] An insider's view with the human side of the circus of politics. .< 3:37:08 PM >MacInTouch is eight years old today. Congrats! [Scripting News] Indeed. Scripting News and MacInTouch are the two sites I've visited every day for years. Of course sinse Radio came out with it's news aggregator I read their content without actually pointing my web browser at them . . . but I still read them every day. .< 3:34:17 PM >Are weblogs legit business tools? Mike Masnick says yes. Mark Hurst says that Mike's company does nothing but blogs, so of course he thinks they're business tools. To Mark I'd say, one day someone said that about phones, and today every company organizes its business on the phone, and using other communication tools such as airplanes, hotels, notepads, whiteboards, email, instant messaging, spreadsheets, conference rooms, etc. Weblogs are a tool, a good one, but that's all they are. We could stop having these debates, imho. [Scripting News] .< 3:32:58 PM >uiweb.com: The ten reasons ease of use doesn't happen on engineering projects. In reviewing all the email I've received at this website, and the experiences I've had teaching and consulting, I've tried to catalog the different reasons why projects didn't result in easy to use designs.

[ProSound News] .< 11:24:37 AM >EE Times: Startup Vivato pushes wireless LAN range to 7 km. Touting low-cost deployment, scalability, wide coverage, centrally located management, high data rates and mobility, the company said its WLAN solution not only shreds the business model of current 802.11 networks but also undermines that of certain 2.5G/3G and fixed-broadband wireless deployments. [Tomalak's Realm] .< 9:35:39 AM >A Rolling Stone gathers moss Former Stone Bill Wyman, self-appointed archivist of the band that won't go away, has made sure those rock 'n' roll memories won't fade away either, writes BRAD WHEELER By BRAD WHEELER
TORONTO -- In the end, Bill Wyman is not so unlike the rest of us. After leaving the Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band in the World in 1992, following a three-decade stint as its bass player, Wyman, like so many of his fans, dreams of being a Rolling Stone. FULL STORY [The Globe and Mail: Arts]
By DAVID MACFARLANE -- However lost the cause, however doomed the gesture, however futile the attempt, there comes a time when the individual must take a stand against the tyranny of the majority. What time would that be? Well, let's take 6:30 in the morning as an example. FULL STORY [The Globe and Mail: Arts] A great read, as always. |
