The court has twice rejected the claim that Microsoft illegally tied products together in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Other big companies like Sun, Oracle, HP and Big Blue might see this as a green light to start tightly tying their products to a single platform.

Bird says 64-bit PC based systems are ready for the mainstream. So far, Intel is leading the way with its Itanium processor, also known as IA-64 and Merced. But AMD will soon be ready to take Intel on with "Clawhammer" and "Sledgehammer," which are slated for a swift move to market sometime in 2002. No matter who wins the 64-bit battle, Bird sees this as a wonderful beginning to a new era of super-fast servers and desktops.

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.
