Market for IPOs Hit 30-Year-Low

Google is down 60 points (15%) today – I wonder if Sergey Brin is worried about his mortgage payments.

The last killer app Microsoft came out with was Office/Exchange. What have they done lately?

Now that’s a snow globe you won’t find at the airport gift shop…

The snow on Mars is coolest story I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for highlighting it.

Lotus Notes isn’t “clunky”, it’s biggest piece of crap on the planet. Or maybe second biggest after BizTalk.

Just another example of legislative bungling.

Thank you Sarbanes-Oxley for shutting down IPO’s and moving the viable ones to London.

Wrong movie reference John. Try “The Princess Bride”, where Fezzik is hauling himself, Vizzini, and Buttercup, up a cliff. And Westley is managing to catch them up. But I don’t know if this has a convenient sound byte.

Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink (on Mars). If you’ve ever seen the movie “Futureworld”, they were simulating a red snow covered Mars, than you could ski. So they’ve been pretending this snow existed for decades. And what do you know, they found it. Or what amounts to frost. Which doesn’t actually have to fall as snow. NASA shouldn’t pretend to be weather experts.

Windows XP has its own form of Scareware, called services.msc. It often tells you, “If you turn this service off, bad things will happen to your PC.” So basically they want you to leave every service running, no matter how unless it is. Rather than it advising you under what conditions, it may be safe to disable a service. Like, you don’t have a wireless card. So you don’t need the “Wireless Zero Configuration” service.
