Californians fail to reclaim Microsoft's
ill-gotten gains
04/21/2004 10:17 AM

Since Microsoft was found in court to have illegally used its monopoly powers to overcharge consumers in California, some 14 million Californians have been able to claim a rebate from the software monolith. There should be up to $1.1 billion in the kitty to dole out to ripped off consumers but so far only a relatively small number of claimants has come forward to claim the dosh – around 590,000, or four per cent of those eligible, the claims administrator reported.

Kicking it up a notch: Microsoft's open

04/07/2005 05:06 AM
VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Barnaby Jeans, an IT Pro Advisor at Microsoft Canada, has a new approach to Microsoft advocacy. In the past, Microsoft executives have been reported as describing GNU/Linux as a cancer or communism. Other reports include warnings that corporate users risk being sued, and that the "Pac-Man-like nature" of its licenses may make interoperability between applications harder. The Get the Facts Web site continues these direct attacks, although with greater detail. However, Jeans has a subtler message for corporate customers. In fact, his message is less in what he says than how he says it.

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit


Urban farmers reclaim Detroit 12/11/2003 09:39 AM
In Detroit, urban farmers, frustrated with buying their groceries at Party Stores now that the grocery chains have largely pulled out of the city, have begun to reclaim Detroit's vast empty spaces for grow-your-own operations, complete with livestock and tractors.
After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings. Satellite images show an urban core giving way to an urban prairie.

Rather than fight this return to nature, Mr. Weertz and other urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks.

Wired for Health: How Californians Compare To the Rest of the Nation
http://ww w.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=105

Low-income Californians who use the Internet are just as likely as more well-to-do Internet users to go online in search of health care information and two-thirds of those poorer Internet users report they gain important benefits from their online searches, according to a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project and funded by the California HealthCare Foundation. Relatively poor Internet users in California are more wired and have more online experience than their peers in other parts of the nation. This finding suggests that as more low-income Americans go online and become comfortable with using the Internet they will enjoy the same benefits as more upscale Internet users who do searches online for important medical information.

The survey also found that Californians in all income brackets and of all ethnicities are in line with the rest of the country when it comes to most Internet health search habits. However, online Californians differ from other wired Americans in three areas of online health:

* 31% of online Californians have searched the Internet for information about health insurance, compared to 24% of the rest of the country’s Internet users.

* 33% of online Californians have searched for alternative treatments, compared to 27% of the rest of the country’s Internet users.

* 23% of online Californians have searched for experimental medical treatments, compared to 17% of the rest of the country’s Internet users.
