Well, DUH! (Mar 29 2003 00:53 GMT) - Choice quote from today's news. The US army's senior ground commander in Iraq, General William Wallace, warned that long supply lines and Iraqi guerrilla-style tactics had reduced the chances of a swift military victory. "The enemy we're fighting is different from the one we'd war-gamed against," he told The Washington Post, in comments reported to have caused some unease in the Pentagon. So do they still have the receipt for that war game? It's obvious they need to take it back. |

- From all indications, Macworld Expo New York 2003 is going to be a full-blown yawn-fest. Apple has retreated from the event, the name is being changed, and exhibitors are bailing. Instead, Apple has pushed its World Wide Developer Conference into the summer Macworld timeframe, beefed up the exposure, and are hinting that this is the event to get sneak previews of the next iteration of the Mac OS X operating system.It's possible that this is the new paradigm of Apple über-events. |
