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.

Teac's "Swipe" USB Memory

Teac's "Swipe" USB Memory 04/01/2005 10:59 AM

The "Swipe" is Teac's new USB memory with fingerprint verification, available up to 1GB capacities. They'll really want to give a second thought to that name if they ever decide to release this anywhere outside of Japan, but it does seem to have a range of protection features — access to secure areas, data encryption, PC locking, and so on. It's nearly $500 for the 1GB version, though, so "Swipe" may be a good name after all.

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.

Microsoft Takes On MikeRoweSoft

Microsoft Takes On MikeRoweSoft 01/19/2004 01:44 AM
I'm surprised this one hasn't gotten more attention yet (though, it probably will). A kid in Canada named Mike Rowe needed a name for his website design business, and picked the somewhat obvious choice: MikeRoweSoft.com. The legal folks at a company you might have heard of, Microsoft, didn't take too kindly to that, and sent the typical threatening legal letter. They offered Mr. Rowe a whopping $10 for the domain. He wrote back saying $10,000 seemed more appropriate - and now Microsoft is accusing him of holding the domain hostage to try to get money out of Microsoft. I read the story a few times before I actually believed it. Even the name of the Microsoft law firm involved in this case (Smart & Biggar) made me wonder if it's all a big hoax - but it all seems real enough. Before the legal beagles chip in with the point that Microsoft needs to do this to protect their trademark, I'll respond by saying that this should be a perfect example of why that rule doesn't make much sense. How many people are actually going to confuse MikeRoweSoft with Microsoft? If anything, Mr. Rowe is going to have more trouble getting people to remember what his domain name is - as he's going to need to spell it out to everyone. However, as a publicity stunt for Mr. Rowe's web design business, this is probably going to help him out quite a bit.
