I use HTML in email from time to time. I have scripts that generate small business reports (sales, basically) and use HTML to tabulate them, and then send that report in HTML form. The audience is business people, so they don't want a "table" made with monospace-fonts, and it would be overkill to attach a CSV or something like that.
Ideally I would have a general purpose webserver where I could have my report hosted (or generated on demand), and just tell people "Look here when you're interested", rather than spamming them. But I'm not expecting a miracle!
So anyway, as a/.er I am of the "plain text email only please" mindset, but I'm in the minority in my organisation and must adapt.
Or more like, you gave the car and keys to the valet, and they left the keys in the car while they dozed at their post. Your car (or your GPS) was stolen.
That's a perfectly reasonable business model. Develop technology, some customers, and a lot of interest, then let a bigger corp buy you out so that they can scale your production, helping to lower costs and reach a bigger audience.
And cash in.
I hate Arial or whatever this font is, because everything about "Al is great" translates to "Artificial Intelligence is great" by my brain's first filter. It's almost as bad as 1 vs. l in Courier.
Is this story an advertisement? Was "Sony batteries catch fire!" an advertisement? Was "iPhone 4 radio doesn't work if you hold it a certain way!" an advertisement?
Probably the most interesting slide is "Sea Change in Networking" where they compare side-by-side the openness and accessibility of software and hardware for commodity servers vs. the complete lack of it for networking equipment. I.e., on the server side you have access to APIs and hardware information to create and customize your own good stuff. Whereas on the networking equipment side, whatever comes out of the box you'll have to take it or leave it.
With Amazon being such a large consumer of this equipment, I wonder (A) what's the opportunity for new networking equipment companies with a different attitude toward openness and how Amazon might like to start buying their gear, or (B) whether the incumbent suppliers will respond by tweaking their offerings so that Amazon would be less disgruntled.
U. of Phoenix lied outright on a phone call.
I was applying for their MBA program and asked very specifically "Is UoP AACSB accredited?" They said yes, and I said thanks, call me back in a couple days. In the meantime I checked with AACSB and they said UoP is most certainly NOT accredited. The UoP recruiter girl called me back as scheduled and I told her what AACSB had said. She then went on to explain how the accrediting board must have made a mistake, and that UoP is legit.
So I ended up at UMass which probably ended up being less expensive, anyway.
Effin den of thieves and liars. No better than vinyl siding salesmen in my opinion.

Hm. Can you make the inside of the case a positive pressure area by blowing room air into the case through the front?
How often do you have to install Ubuntu?
Standards are like toothbrushes: everyone agrees you should have one, but no one wants to use yours.

I think I'll write an article with silly warnings and write, "Seen on product X! For real! No lie!"

Pomegranate and glucose? What's wrong with those?

Pedigree speaks for itself? Your mom's a whore. What does that say about your potential?
