IBM överväger Linux på egna skrivborden 2005? (Jan 10 2004 10:53 GMT) - Enligt ett internt PM som tycks ha läckt ut, ser det ut som om IBM överväger att migrera till Linux och öppna system för sina 300 000 anställdas skrivbord före slutet av år 2005. Officiellt dementerar man det dock, och tonar ned det till att man rutinmässigt låter sina interna IT-grupper hårdtesta alternativa plattformar och teknik på hemmaplan. Länk till artikeln: Memo Suggests IBM Studied Switching Desktops to Linux I och med dementin kanske man inte skall dra för stora växlar på nyheten. Men det är nog värt att hålla ögonen öppna efter om det leder till något konkret. |

Born Free Like Leonardo Di Caprio in the "Man In T ... (Jan 10 2004 10:51 GMT) - Born Free Like Leonardo Di Caprio in the "Man In The Iron Mask", I have been held back from my full pulling potential for over a year now due to a metallic object. Whilst he had his mask, I had a brace. Of course, my face wasn't covered up completely by an Iron Mask, but you just try speaking to a girl and your metallic mouthpiece launches wads of spit like cannonballs towards your date. Add on the fact that I didn't have any Musketeers aiding me, and I'm sure you agree. DiCaprio had it easy. |

Business Start up [Andrew Payne] (Jan 10 2004 10:48 GMT) - With an existing data orientated business up and running, 2004 seems to be the year of mass WiFi. To benefit from the upturn in usage we have formed a company offering to install WiFi into residential homes in the Bristol area. To this extent we have started a marketing plan, and published a 'short term' web site mobiledatasolutions.net (to be improved when I master dreamweaver....) To date we have encountered 2 problems which any help or advice would be welcomed. |
