Counting Informix, IBM's market share jumps from about 12% to about 22%, using figures from 1999, the most recent market research by the Gartner Group. Oracle has about twice that share.

Well forget about all that heavy lifting when you're in need of a lift. In Dublin, Ireland they're trying out a more civil way of corralling cabs. Riders can let their fingers do the walking and type an SMS text message by mobile phone to the cab company. Once the nearest driver gets the word, he calls the potential passenger to say he's on the way. That's gotta be the fairest way to get a fare.
