This is an interesting article, one of several of it's ilk lately, and I often reflect on my own technologies choices and path. Years ago I was an unabashed, even evangelistic, Mac person. Then I moved to Canada and became part of a large pharmaceutical company that was decidedly anti-Mac. So, though my Mac was…
Microsoft is moving, as I would expect, quickly to take advantage of Yahoo and AOL's departure from the business IM space. If they start offering tools to migrate from Yahoo or AOL to MSN, then that would be really interesting. Picking Up the Im Pieces: “The retreat of Yahoo Inc. and America Online Inc. from…
This sounds very interesting and compelling and if I had the shared drive and server, I would be interested in this.

InfoWorld: Multimedia goes mobile with Flash Lite 1.1: June 28, 2004: By Paul…
An interesting development in the VPN market. VPNs are interesting beasts. I'd have a love-hate relationship with them for a while now. The last one I worked with was decent, but being connected to it brought my surfing to crawl and wreaked havok with my other e-mail apps. This is primarily why I think secure…
