Denial is not a Riven in Egypt: HP CEO Carly Fiorina claims she has "great confidence" in her management team.  Be afraid, be very afraid HPers!  When as CEO in trouble thinks she needs to write a public letter explaining that she has confidence in her management team, that's a sure sign that she doesn't or shouldn't...or that they don't share the same sentiment her way.

Solaris to become LSB Compliant: A Register Article announces that Solaris will become LSB compliant.  This is an important turn in the unification of the Unixes since Solaris has historically been a rather more proprietary OS.  Now we will have to wait and see if they actually proceed with the plan. 4:44:50 AM

Europe Violates Free Speech: What else is new?  They are of course upset at the US for not joining in too. 4:34:10 AM

Another Lame Movie Service To Debut: Yes, the movie industry is about to open the doors on MovieLink, a service that has been two years in the making, but will anyone care?  I think not.  They will only have a tiny selection of movies available (second run films about to go to pay per view), and the files you download will only play for 30 days.  Where's the huge catalog of obscure stuff you can't find at the local video store?  Why can't I buy it once and then show it to my friends next month when they come over to visit?  Why can't I watch it on my laptop AND my desktop?  Where's the special version you can't find anywhere else?  Nowhere...just like this service. 3:55:27 AM
