The company handed out pink slips to 200 of its 5,500 total employees. The job losses mainly hit the company's services and consulting business. In addition, Lotus is making some management changes that have impact all the way up the executive chain. CEO Al Zollar gets a new title and will now be called general manager, the same title held by the executives who run IBM's other key software units.

Sure, they might be able to make a call or two, but the authorities usually catch up with them. Take Chippy the chimp at Britain's Blair Drummond Safari Park, for example. After picking his keeper's pocket of a new mobile phone, Chippy thought he'd make a couple of speed-dial prank calls. Zoo officials couldn't figure who was calling them until one of them yelled into their phone, causing Chippy to give up his identity with a startled shriek.
