MS open source attacks backfire" [3.] "Microsoft To Integrate UDDI Into Internet Explorer" [1.] "Sun blinded by devotion to Java tactics" Is the Java a little too hot? Some analysts think Sun is so hot for Java as an anti-Microsoft weapon, its (Sun's) Web services platform is suffering. Sun thinks "all you need is Java" for growing Web services, but a Meta Group analyst says other technologies, like XML, SOAP and UDDI, are more important because they create the necessary cross-platform communication that will make those services tick. SOURCE: vnunet http://www.vnunet.com/News/1123207 =============================================== [2.] "In your face! MS open source attacks backfire" Microsoft's constant "penguin bashing" seems to be accomplishing two things: Galvanizing the open-source community and inviting criticism from legal experts. Many developers at JavaOne also rallied behind open-source. SOURCE: Wall Street Journal Online http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2775033,00.html?chkpt=zdhpnews01 =============================================== [3.] "Microsoft to integrate UDDI into Internet Explorer" In another example of tying products tightly with its own Internet services, Microsoft is teaming with RealNames to tie the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registry with Internet Explorer. IE is the technology at the heart of the antitrust case against Microsoft. Sun is also a UDDI supporter.

You think you hear your cell phone ring but there's no call at all. It's the call of the wild. A bird expert in Australia says his country's so-called "mimic birds" are now parroting the sounds of cell phone rings. Mostly the males do it. They're showing off to potential mates and telling other birds "this is my territory." Apparently they're also saying, "Hey babe, Nokia makes it ring, but I make it sing."
