Oracle to buy Sun. Everybody Panic!
Oracle is turning into Computer Associates -- a holding company that feels like a kind of technology graveyard. I don't see how this is good for Java or MySQL.

ROI - Buzzword Bingo
I was sent a link to a Business Week article on "Return on Insight" a kind of pun on "Return on Investment". The article isn't too helpful, but it does have some clever quotes.

Vista's failure is often characterized as "negative perception of the Windows Vista operating system is growing". Isn't that just failure reworded to not include "FAIL"? Why sugar-coat it?

Censorship - who wins?
GoDaddy shuts a site down because -- uhh -- well -- it's hard to say. GoDaddy loses the revenue, so does the site that was shut down. Who's the winner here? The content could be viewed as politically challenging, but it sure looked like citizen oversight of government operations.

Al Gore's Internet? Wait -- What?
Someone mentioned Al Gore's Internet the other day. Ooooh that irritates me. Especially when I consider the alternative to a government-funded open source Internet.

Deprecating Dynamic Languages (or Scripting Systems)
See Allen Holub's Java Watch column in the SD Times, The Next Big Thing. Java's been around a
decade; long enough to be widely used, standardized and obsolete. So what's
