- At the moment I am reading Me Talk Pretty One Day. The reviews that are plastered on the book will lead you to believe that the book is hilarious and ingenious. The reviews tell you that you may not be able to contain yourself while reading in public - that you will snort, chuckle, and perhaps even burst out laughing. They are so very, very correct.Buy the book (or borrow it from me) and enjoy it for yourself. |

- SAP, Microsoft draw battle lines: M$ is starting the battle with SAP for enterprise applications. The article doesn't mention that SAP depends on IE (their software runs pretty much only on IE), and the advantage that that gives M$. SAP's software is stretching the limits of browser capabilities (they have drag and drop with DHTML and such) - this is going to be an obvious advantage for M$ when they start developing these apps: they can build whatever functionality they want straight in IE. |
