- Vamos a ver, es ridículo y vergonzante que un representante de la curia vaticana en España se ponga a decir paridas sobre el efecto presupuestario que puede tener la equiparación de las parejas de hecho con los matrimonios en España. Es triste, ya lo comentábamos aquí, y da muestra de la forma en que muchos españoles hacen el trágala con las incongruencias de la sacorsanta religión mayoritaria de este reino aparentemente laico. Pero lo que no se puede permitir es que, ahora, un ministro que además se le supone entendido en asuntos económicos diga lo mismo.

- Steve Mills is the head of software at IBM. IBM has five major software "brands" -- Lotus, WebSphere, Tivoli, DB2, and Rational. Recently, he and Bill Gates presented their vision of web services in public, and it's worth reading his take on what's in store for Microsoft next year.In essence, Steve thinks that Microsoft will try to integrate the client (where it is dominant) with the server (where it is not) and will do this through a combination of closed web-services from the technical side, and useful bundled client/server apps on the marketing side. Predictably, Steve thinks this will fail because 1) the tight bundling is not really that valuable and 2) the Internet has made open standards easier to create and be adopted. |
