  1. Re:I don't want to go off on a rant here, but... on Penguin Not Taking Flight Down Under · · Score: 1
    "What kind of fucking stupid people come up with this shit?"

    Read the story, it's what the Forrester analyst says.

  2. Re:Let me get this straight... on Staying Healthy When Working 12 Hours a Day? · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, can you provide a link to information on the Boeing study -- I've googled for it without any success. In these matters it's often a good idea to go back to the source.

  3. We did this in the early 1980s on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 1

    When I was working on the British computer magazine in the early 1980s I developed a flexidisk with an audio recording of a ZX81 program. It worked, but dealing with reader's support calls was a nightmare.

  4. Smart PR Strategy on Apple Website Points to PowerBook G5 · · Score: 1

    After all the fuss over ThinkSecret it might be a smart strategy for Apple to deliberately seed untrue yet alluring readers to distract journalists and others.

    Mind you hiding product names in HTML this was is more like something from The DaVinci Code that the Regis McKenna Playbook.

  5. It's not the first time on Microsoft to Sell Outlook Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has trialled subscriptions services in the past.

    Here's a story I wrote for the Sydney Morning Herald trumpting the intial success of the project in Australia and a couple of other markets: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/04/20/10192332 87444.html

    The trial finished a Microsoft dropped the program, again I wrote about this for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Melbourne Age: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/11/19/10374 90107674.html

    Of course, these weren't online subscriptions.
