The Death of HTTP Replying to the article on Don Box's view of HTTP - Dave writes: Dave Winer's Scripting News Weblog: "On the other hand, the fear such a bold idea evokes is quite reasonable too. Any change in the way the Web behaves, authored by Microsoft, the owner of the dominant browser, could remove any possibility of competition with them in this vital space." Imagine Microsoft bringing out Internet Explorer 8.0 and IIS 8.0 without HTTP support. The new IE version will connect to IIS 8.0 using MS SWCP 1.0 (Secure WebService Communications Protocol). "Its better because its secure. We don't use port 80 because that's just insecure!". Those hands are just getting bloodier.

Growing Up Christopher (7) finds out that the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and all those other figures you may think were created by Coca Cola, do not really exist. Now he wants to tell his younger brother and sister.. Just wait till he finds out about Pokemons and Harry Potter. Does Bill Gates actually exist? Interop Well another round or soapbuilders Interop starts. I bet it's a fun place to be - although too far out for me. Anyway it would be great to attend as a lurker and just absorb what goes on. Or do they spend the time playiing some advanced network game.....no...of course not.
