Problem is, there's just so much information, the text is always a work in progress and although it already contains more than 30 chapters, the author says, there's no end in sight.

Ariba will end its collaboration with i2 Technologies because the company does not see a viable future for online marketplaces. Ariba is active in an alliance that creates online marketplaces with i2 and IBM. It insists, however, that its relationship with IBM will stay intact.

A survey of 400 developers outside North America found that 38.2% report using XML for at least part of their developing time, up from 25.7% in November. Slightly more than half of the respondents said they plan to be using XML next year.

Under the surface, HP singles out IBM's Global Services as its primary, competitive target.

IBM did cut the price on the Model 820's feature 2395 processor, which was set to be replaced by an iSeries S-Star processor until IBM dropped it from the line.

Take the online version of Philip Cable's American Science & Surplus, for instance. The brick-and-mortar version of the catalog business is chugging along after more than 60 years by selling everything from recycled camera batteries to "owl pellets" -- the stuff left over after an owl eats a small woodland creature. Cable is taking a measured approach to selling his junk, er, wares to online shoppers. He doesn't expect to make millions; he's just looking to expand beyond his offline customer base.
