Tried to test out MyWeb on Yahoo.  It only recognizes IE.  So, that means it ain't MyWeb

This headline must be causing some philospher/economists at least a bit of creative energy:

Lenovo Completes IBM Division Acquisition (AP). AP - Chinese computer maker Lenovo has completed its $1.75 billion purchase of IBM's personal computer division, creating the world's third-largest PC maker, the company said Sunday. [Yahoo! News: Technology]

I mean, does this mean the Thinkpad become the LotusPad?  Will the I/O bus now be named the I/O Rikshaw?  Will anyone in government trust the new owner of the company that formerly produced IBM PC's?

Oh well, back to  The World is Flat -- which got reviewed in NYT today.  NYT also provides a video extra - an excerpt from the documentary on outsourcing Friedman has shot that will air June 3.

BTW, while third world countries are graduating increasingly large numbers of mathematicians and scientists -- what are we doing?

If you want to wish me a happy birthday, first, let me say, thank you, mazel tov, a blessing back at ya, namaste and let's have fun. I have one request, which I get to make because it'll be my birthday tomorrow, and I'm getting in practice for one day of pure selfishness. Instead of sending an email, if you have a blog, how about posting your wishes on your blog with a link to mine? I could always use some more flow, and I'd love to climb a few notches on the Technorati list, truth be told. ";->"
