StarOffice takes on Microsoft 02/19/2004 11:37 AM
With the release of the new StarOffice 7 for Sun Solaris last month, Sun Microsystems noticeably chipped away at Microsoft’s Office juggernaut. One of the ways StarOffice--and it’s freeware cousin OpenOffice--is accomplishing its beachhead of 40 million desktops worldwide is through the PDF and Flash export capability found in both the commercial ($49.95) and free versions.

Sun Microsystems' StarOffice 7, released November 12, offers significant advantages in performance, usability, and stability over rival commercial office suites, including Microsoft Office. However, when the comparison is to OpenOffice.org version 1.1, the open source project from which StarOffice takes its code, it's harder to say where the advantage lies.

Sun Microsystems scored a big sales win Monday, landing Canada's elementary and secondary schools as its latest customers for the open source-based StarOffice 7 office productivity suite. The Ontario Ministry of Education acquired StarOffice licenses for all the province's 72 public and Catholic school boards, making it potentially the largest StarOffice 7 delivery in North America. As a result, about 2.5 million students eventually will have access to one of the leading alternatives to Microsoft Office.

SBC Offered Wi-Fi/DSL Router before
Qwest 04/09/2004 06:34 PM
Qwest's claim of being first telco to offer DSL/Wi-Fi gateway bundle contradicted by SBC's offering: Alert reader Chester Cade, an SBC customer, contacted us to provide details about SBC Yahoo!'s DSL offering for residential customers noting that the offer of a $149 or $179 Wi-Fi/DSL router/modem bundle (with $99 off for service commitment) has been available for months. Qwest's press release claims bragging rights: Qwest is the first major telecommunications company to offer customers a wireless-ready modem, and the company also has decided to make this the standard modem for all of its new DSL customers. The latter part may be true, but it would appear SBC beat them (quietly) to the punch. The device that SBC is offering appears to be the HomePortal 1000HW, which is a DSL router with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, and HomePNA connections built-in....

Sun's no-op announcement

Sun's no-op announcement 02/01/2005 08:49 PM
Last year IBM took a significant step forward in cooperation with the free software community, by offering blanket licenses for 500 of its patents to all free software developers. This does not cover all of IBM's software patents, which must number in the thousands. And there are other areas where IBM does not yet cooperate with the free software community--they have not provided the necessary information to port a free BIOS to ThinkPads, for instance, and they are still pursuing Treacherous Computing. Nonetheless, this is a real step. Recently Sun made an announcement that superficially seems similar. It said that Sun had given us "free access to Sun OpenSolaris related patents under the Common Development and Distribution License." But those words do not really make sense. The CDDL is a license for the copyright on software, not a policy for licensing patents. It applies to specific code and nothing else. (Copyright and patents have essentially nothing in common in the requirements they impose on the public.)

Heck, Sun's doing some cool work here and it should be paid attention to -- particularly by Longhorn evangelists.

Microsoft To Bridge Office, Back Office

Microsoft continues to build bridges between Office desktop apps and reservoirs of back-office data. The "Information Worker Bridge" project now under way seeks to make it easier for integrators or in-house developers to make Excel or Word de-facto front ends for back-end accounting, ERP or other applications, sources said. In theory, this would take back-office integration beyond ODBC drivers and InfoPath, the Office application that lets people build dynamic forms on their desktops that tap into back-office XML data.

There are three basic features for the tool: inserting graphical data objects into PowerPoint, saving graphical data objects for future use, and retrieving saved graphical data objects for reuse. Because the Data Assistant creates a connection between PowerPoint and the host application of the data object (Excel or Visio), you have the option of inserting the data object as it was saved or refreshing it to reflect any changes that were made to the data object.

Matrix reviews

Matrix reviews 11/05/2003 02:29 PM

STLtoday: "The Matrix Revolutions" is awful. It's not merely hapless or disappointing - it's a total catastrophe, an apocalyptic waste of money and talent that obliterates its very purpose, which was to resolve the cosmological questions that were posed by that misbegotten middle child, "The Matrix Reloaded."

Daily Trojan: "by the time the long awaited denouement is delivered, which reveals the power behind the Machine World, the "Deus Ex Machina," most viewers will already be looking at their watches."

Tri-City Herald: "If this is what big-budget freedom does to filmmakers, they should be kept in chains. Louder, longer, more expensive and dumber than its predecessors, "Revolutions" is a mediocrity that will provide escapism only to those who head for the theater exits."

CBS News: "Revolutions" eats all of the goodwill built up by "The Matrix," and then some. It isn't just bad moviemaking -- it's a bizarrely self-destructive film."

BBC NEWS: "No-one really expects sequels to be better than the original, but Matrix Revolutions is a crushing disappointment in almost every way."

The new Doctor Who reviews

The new Doctor Who reviews 04/14/2005 01:59 PM
The new Doctor Who series has been airing on BBC Television for three weeks now. And it is "good TV" Most all of the reviews are startlingly positive, far more than I've seen for a television series in a long, long time. What is most striking is that many of the commentaries about the "New Who" state that it is just plain ole' good television that combines something intelligent, something scary, something mysterious and something balls-out fun. In our world of reality television, what other series would you classify as being "good tv"? What makes for "good TV"? (Link goes to a fan site that has re-printed and linked to numerous reviews)

Amazon Glitch Unmasks War of Reviewers: Amazon accidentally posted the real names of anonymous book reviewers on their site, and in the process, revealed that the whole user-submitted review process is garbage.

But even with reviewer privacy restored, many people say Amazon's pages have turned into what one writer called "a rhetorical war," where friends and family members are regularly corralled to write glowing reviews and each negative one is scrutinized for the digital fingerprints of known enemies.

One well-known writer admitted privately — and gleefully — to anonymously criticizing a more prominent novelist who he felt had unfairly reaped critical praise for years. She regularly posts responses, or at least he thinks it is her, but the elegant rebuttals of his reviews are also written from behind a pseudonym.

Illustrator Danny Gregory has reviewed a bunch of pens, accompanied by his drawings of the pens.

"Rotring Rapidoliner: I am really in love with this pen these days and I never would of thunk it. I first tried Rapidographs when I was a teenager but they always clogged and leaked and were a pain to fill. I was forever dismantling the nibs and washing them in the sink and finding ink blots on my shirts. This pen is perfect. My nib is the finest they make and the pen just won’t clog or skip. The guts are disposable, for $4 you get a fresh new nib and supply of Indian ink. I have been drawing with this pen every day for two months and am still on my original cartridge. The pen’s feeling is ultra smooth, a little creamy and a little brittle, like icing on a cupcake. The best $10 I ever spent."
