Red Hat - not losing Dell but gaining a Google
Blog For some reason neither Red Hat or Novell have been very aggressive about the desktop to date - afraid of being laughed out of court - or just not believing that the revenues are worth chasing - maybe that could be all about to change?

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog This wireless telephone system has little left but a small gaggle of consumers and an out-of-date technology: so why, by all accounts, is Alan Sugar sniffing around the still-warm corpse? They've only gone and given me a date for my xDSL connection!
