- Finally got the chance to see Bend It Like Beckham, which was very good, and it was a nice surprise that it featured Santa Clara University in the storyline.The sad part, however, is that professional women's soccer/football in the US seems to be dead. Something tells me that Bend it Like Beckham came out about a year too late....The Santa Clara Broncos really are a national powerhouse when it comes to soccer, having won the national championship in 2001 and competing on an equal level with the country's biggest universities. Looks like they're playing a home game against Loyola tomorrow night and against Pepperdine on Sunday. |

- Dave Winer writes about how OPML could be used as the base for creating the next generation of directories. Forst, he explains the rationale: We accept that there are two main directories (Yahoo and DMOZ), but why do we accept that? Suppose someone said there were two home pages for the Web. How good could they be? |

- Considering the growing importance of cellphones in our lives and the need to access enterprise data via these devices, this article by Martyn Mallick makes interesting reading. The focus is on a "mobile database component" and synchronisation. There are three characteristics of wireless Internet applications that are not present in smart client architectures: 1) Immediate deployment of applications. Wireless Internet applications reside on a server and, as long as the user knows the URL of the application, he can access it immediately. |

VoIP + WiFi (Oct 17 2003 03:33 GMT) - Red Herring (yes, it's back) writes that "combining two hot technologies makes telcos seem so 1998." When the University of Arkansas wanted to trim the cost of intra-campus calls, it bypassed its local carrier by combining two technologies: voice-over-IP (VoIP) and 802.11 wireless. By using its existing TCP/IP networks and spending $4 million for a Cisco Call Manager, the university circumvented its local carrier and reduced monthly service fees from $530,000 to a mere $6,000. |

Text Mining (Oct 17 2003 03:33 GMT) - NYTimes writes: [Text-mining is] a technique that academics have been experimenting with for years but for which tools have only recently become commercially available. The prospect of rapidly scanning through reams of documents is stirring interest among researchers and analysts faced with more material than they can handle. To the uninitiated, it may seem that Google and other Web search engines do something similar, since they also pore through reams of documents in split-second intervals. But, as experts note, search engines are merely retrieving information, displaying lists of documents that contain certain keywords. |
