- Technologists at Merck & Co. Inc. have developed a pilot solution with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 to optimize the creation, transmission, and collection of information associated with late stage clinical trials. InfoPath is helping expedite the creation and completion of these reports and helping improve the quality of data captured in the critical databases - both of which improve Mercks ability to compile and analyze critical data and its ability to increase operational efficiencies. As Merck technologists put the information gathering programs use of XML, Web services, business rules, and powerful validation tools to the test, they are also determining how other processes at Merck can be optimized by an InfoPath - based solution. |

QOTD (Dec 12 2003 05:07 GMT) - On visible expression of emotion while performing music: James Brown swiped his whole end-of-concert collapse and resurrection bit from preachers and ministers of the Gospel. It's really not cool to be too emotive in Hip Hop or R&B these days. In fact, classical music may be the last place this type of face-making still hangs on. Someday, we may be treated to the spectacle of sweaty, exhausted Yo-Yo Ma collapsing onstage, being led off by his attendants with a regal robe around his shoulders, and then suddenly reviving, and running back on for a rousing reprise of a Bach cello suite. |

- The main link here is to a story on Slashdot about the Jennicam shutting down; that's described as an historic event, because Jenni Ringley pioneered the whole Web voyeur camera thing. Before she set up her site, pretty much the most exciting thing you could find to stare at on the Web was that Cambridge coffee pot thing and the fingerable Coke machine. Well, this seems like a good excuse to run a quote from one of my favourite futurists, written in 1968 and predicting not only the "camgirl" phenomenon, but also electronic voting, assisted suicide, and, um, a few other things: [5 more paragraphs] |
