Mac OS X Panther (Oct 27 2003 19:19 GMT) - I just upgraded my iBook to Panther and the short story is that my computer is snappier than ever. Programs startup quicker, Mail seems crisper. I'm just starting to explore the new features - but expose is a really nice feature - push a key that you define and ALL of the windows show up on the screen, mouse over ANY of them and a title of what is in that window shows up, click the window you want and blamo, you're there. More info once I've played around for a while. So far - I'm thinking that it's a great OS update. |

Office System a bonanza for Microsoft (Oct 27 2003 19:18 GMT) - Systems integrators are salivating at opportunities from the launch of Microsoft Office System. Microsoft has spent recent years grazing up the software value chain — from desktop and small business systems into pastures such as customer relationship management and enterprise resources planning platforms — and it hopes large organisations will roll out web services applications using Office. If the reaction of an excited channel is anything to go by, Microsoft looks to be on a winner. |

Acumen Journal of Life Sciences: Community Property (Oct 27 2003 19:17 GMT) - This article by Kenneth Neil Cukier includes: As the industry advances, there is a growing call among researchers to redraw the lines of intellectual property. Along with graduate degrees, they're armed with moral arguments, evidence of economic efficiency, and a nascent spirit of solidarity that exceeds the traditional ethos of cooperation found in the sciences and academia. And the approach that is gaining momentum comes from the neighboring industry of information technology: open source. |

ITBusiness.ca letter to the editor, in reply to a letter to the editor. (Oct 27 2003 19:17 GMT) - A letter to the editor that I sent ITBusiness.ca has been published. The Linux kernel, like most such Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects, is an open collaborative collection of the works of many hundreds of software copyright holders. While the question of whether or not SCO is one of those copyright holders and whether they authorized any contribution is in dispute in the courts; the copyright of the many hundreds of other legitimate contributors is not in dispute. |

Scary Movie 3 (Oct 27 2003 19:16 GMT) - Or, as I like to call it: Naked Scary Gun Movie 3! This movie was terrible... you could definitely tell that the Wayans brothers were no longer involved, and I think the movie suffered as a result. I loved the... |

Thiago Fialho @ 10/27/2003 01:20 PM (Oct 27 2003 19:15 GMT) - Os porcos capitalistas das indústrias de refrigerantes de cola dos EUA... Ainda bem que não é mais moda aquelas coisas de "Tazzos" (ou sei lá o nome disso). Pô, muito fera esse gif do Airton. Rafael, acho que você devia fazer um concurso de melhor gif dos comentários.

Microsoft shows Longhorn (Oct 27 2003 19:15 GMT) - In a valiant but wasted attempt to prevent the virtually guaranteed loss of reputation and customers that is expected with the continuing delay of Longhorn which is set for a 2006 release date, the next version of Windows, the software maker has decided to give the world a sneak peek at the new OS more than 2 years before it is released. The goal appears to be an attempt to not lose face like they did for most of their previous OSes that had ship dates slip more than a Torontonian on a snow dusted street. Jim Allchin, though, did say that other versions of Windows will come out in the interim, like a new Tablet PC OS and so on. Not quite something to rejoice over, not that it was something to look forward to with a new version of Windows, but at least we'll know they didn't leave us. Comments (0) |
