Looking at the Google "Badware" website, it seems like all they are doing is asking for detailed reports from users about any "Badware" experience. It looks like a site created by a rookie in a couple of hours.
I think all Google wants right now is to have some press coverage that says "Google fights Badware".
Predicting can be fun if the outcome matches the prediction. In case of Google most predictions were wild guesses - especially Google OS prediction. Come on, Google is just an Ad Broker after all. But the current prediction makes a little sense since Google's main revenue is based on Ad Traffic. Having an iTunes like site can definetely increase traffic for Google. Google already has DRM now - http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/10/02 14248&from=rss.
After the dot com bomb, many programmers (especially the older ones) in the Silicon Valley became real estate agents. The real estate market was not affected too much by the dot com bomb.
Donating parts of RUP to Eclipse is a way for more projects for IBM process consultants. Also it is an indicator that IBMs client, usually large enterprises, are using open platforms like Eclipse.
Apple should also try to patent the Apple fruit. They can then collect royalties from Apple growers. Good source of income since the iTunes store is not making any momey and no one is buying Apple servers.
I do not think it will be able to prove or disprove any theory. This experiment might result in enhanced understanding of quantum particles like pions and bosons found especially in cosmic rays.
The 'with' statement in VB creates a lot of issues with scope in the VB language. The language designers had to introduce new language features to support this. Anders Hejlsberg says that he did not want to do that and thus 'with' is not part of the C# language.

iTunes and iPod will be history once Microsoft comes up with the Windows Media devices and it's own store. It will make it part of the OS and may install it through Windows Update Services.
Sun is showing what MS demonstarted at PDC 2003. The 3D Java Desktop is just like the Avalon presentation system in Longhorn. The Java implementation is surely going to run like a snail.
Apple is doing the exact things that Microsoft does. It owns the OS; so it creates the best software for it's OS by using hidden, unpublished APIs....they are all the same. Thank God for Linux!

How do the feds know how much it costs. Do public or private companies report these to the feds?
How about the new planet Sedna?
How do we know that AOL, MSN, and Yahoo have already complied?
Everyone has a little bit of it. Some are full of it.

IBM has not donated Purify to Open Source. I agree that RUP is a big time waster. RUP also takes more managers. Agile/XP is the way to go.

M$ may have bought these AWOL reviewers in an attempt to kill Firefox?

Patenting the iPod interface is okay. But Apple should open up it's media format and DRM technology. This in turn would be good for everyone.
Star Wars is a heartless series. Fans stick to it just for the sake of the name Star Wars. May I recommend to you Americas Funniest Videos.

Stolen Unix code would have been running on all our desktops and the Internet might have been accessible only to five thousand people.

They should have done this much earlier. Macromdia is doing this now because they are scared of Microsoft 'Sparkle' due soon.

Okay now...Apple is swiftly closing the gap with Microsoft in the amount of holes it has.
Will they teach me to hack the Matrix?
Is it possible to have a beowulf type cluster using a lot of PS2 nodes to process ray tracing and high quality image analysis etc?
