Still lots of ideas that will be implemented as time permits (and probably it won't permit much in the days coming ;-).

Interessant schon einmal die offensichtliche Affinität von Käufern von Büchern zum Thema .NET, sich auch Apocalypse Now zuzulegen ...

BREAKING NEWS: REBOL/IOS FÜR WEBBIES IN DER KATEGORIE TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT NOMINIERT! — Gut so!

Microsoft kauft [create Navision] um 1.4 Milliarden Euro (zum Vergleich: der Umsatz des Unternehmens betrug im Geschäftsjahr 2000/2001 rund 200 Millionen Euro). Nervös macht das vor allem SAP — auch wenn existierende Kunden kaum den Sprung wagen werden, bei Klein- und Mittelbetrieben wird es für SAP zunehmend schwieriger werden, Fuss zu fassen — vor allem, da mir immer noch kein wirklich überzeugendes SAP-Produkt für KMUs bekannt wäre.

Wieviel Sinn die Diversifikation Microsofts in serviceintensive Produktsparten macht sei dahingestellt, verfügbare Geldmengen hat die Firma jedenfalls genug für Dutzende Akquisitionen dieses Kalibers. Zudem: Der amerikanische KMU-Bereich wird von [create Great Plains] hervorragend abgedeckt, Navision hat den Grossteil seiner Kunden in Europa — und nachdem gerade der Unternehmenssoftwaremarkt von enormer Trägheit gekennzeichnet ist, gibt es praktisch nur den Weg der Akquisition, um in kurzer Zeit massive Marktanteile zu gewinnen.

Mountain View, CA - Google is now offering a premium search service to subscribers willing to pay $9.95 per month. The service called "Find Anything" allows users to not only find information on the Internet, but also in the real world as well.

One of the most touching success stories of the new service has been Kyle Ferguson who had long since given up hope. Kyle who was adopted when he just 3 weeks old has been searching for his mother for 27 years. "I just typed in 'mom' and it came up with two entries. One was a Thai restaurant but the other was my biological mother!"

Bill Gates: "At Microsoft, when a customer called us to order some software, whoever answered the phone was the "shipping department." They'd run to the back of the office, copy a disk, put it in the mail, and then go back to their desk and write more code."

Mark Bernstein: "I'm hoping to learn about weblogs from an alife simulator I'm building. In the simulated world, we have 600 little artificial writers (I call them weblets) with 600 artificial weblogs. If traffic is the currency of the Web, each of the weblets wants to get rich. Some have big blogrolls (so lots of people will think well of them). Some have lots of daily links (so they can reward their friends quickly). Some hoard traffic, some spread it around. We'll see who wins." [ Ø TRAUMWIND • ]
