Will Johnston produces Thinkmedia. I have been involved with technology and product development since 1983 when I bought and started programming my first PC. I was a member of the Apple HyperCard development team, founder of the BuyDirectory (among the first consumer search engines), Sr. Product Manager for PDF at Adobe Systems, Sr. Product Manager for Commerce at Inktomi Corporation and one of the earliest users of the WELL and Usenet.

Thinkmedia provides consulting services for the intersection of technology and business.

Microsoft gives report card on its .NET initiative. Seems questionable that the student should grade itself. I remember when Microsoft was rolling out Blackbird back in 1994, at the same time the Internet and www were coming on strong. It left a lot of people scratching their collective heads that MS had not picked up on the Internet at that point.(update) Microsoft execs foreshadow .Net future. Gates, Raikes discuss forthcoming products [InfoWorld: Top News] comment [] 11:34:15 AM    . I can't help but to believe that this is a 'BUY'. AOL Time Warner just beat wall street estimates for the first time in 3 quarters, it's down 75% since it's 2000 high and it has a great management team in Steve Case, Richard Parsons and Ted Turner. It's currently at $9... AOL narrowly beats estimates. The media giant just beats expectations but announces that the SEC is looking into its accounting practices in reaction to a critical newspaper report last week.
