Good reason to ensure offer Creative Commons support in Office 2007- you don’t want Adobe to get all the pro-am love, do you?

Microsoft’s DRM investments look like one big horrible waste of billions. Apple played them like the Royal Philharmonic. Microsoft dropped one scheme in favour of another-hurting partners and customers. Apple now drops its own scheme and makes more money

Hugh is looking for some rebound mercy action. Oh yeah he is going to sell some women’s suits too. Does anyone want to sponsor me $4k to wear an English Cut suit? I would at least like to be on the waiting list.

How about that – an industry analyst looking at EMC offerings in BPM. I didn’t know EMC talked to industry analysts outside VMWare. We don’t hear from DCTM.

Like is says: Microsoft didn’t have any problem innovating when it wasn’t playing the patent everything that moves game. MS’ first software patent was granted in 1998!!!!

The UK a leader in green packaging, approaches in retail and other greening. Outsiders tend to underestimate what radicals the Brits are.

The IETF standards process may not be perfect, but compared to the noxious fumes emitted by the recent politics in progress at OASIS and ECMA and ISO (see Simon’s last link here), it smells pretty sweet to me these days.

Ball rolling..I have no idea what the real economics are but Defence spending is about more than “do we see tanks rolling over our hills now”..it’s as much about the future. The world is NOT stable…despite our insulated lives that lead us to believe so.
As a Canadian that has watched our military budget gutted to nothingness over the last decades…so much so that other countries have to TRANSPORT our troops around..I can tell you that is not a good position to be in either. The catch up time is enormous..and expensive.
Where is the line? Don’t know but we aren’t just one big happy family either. We rely on the good will of those around us.
If it hadn’t been for American supply ships during WWII Britain would not have been able to fend off the Nazi’s..was it a lack of defence investment in the prior years that left Britain so vulnerable?
Is that a “good” thing?
