Israel declares Microsoft a monopoly

Ha'aretz (Israel): Official: Microsoft is a monopoly in Israel

Scobleizer on corporate IM

There, I'll link to Scoble because I know he loooooves it when people link to him.

Scobleizer: Are Enterprises Really This Clueless?

Scoble, like a lot of people, GET the value of IM in the work environment. Unfortunately, some people I'm close to right now do not. Ah well, walking is good for me, and I really should get my eyes off my monitor every once in a while, right?

Scripting News

Doug Baron: "I'm part of the UserLand team now."

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

If UserLand was publicly traded their stock price would have gone up at least 30% today.

PocketMac

PocketMac aims to connect Mac OS 9 and OS X machines with PocketPC (Windows CE) handhelds/PDA.

Not that I'd ever WANT one of those crappy things, but, if you're using one, and are stuck on a PC only because of your choice of PDA, you'll be happy to know that you can finally put a sledgehammer through that PC now.

Rack mount your 15-inch Studio Display

MacCentral on the stupid Maya article

MacCentral: Alias|Wavefront, Apple talk Maya with MacCentral

I think Wired should retract that article, and run a new one pointing out the many many flaws, lies and totally moronic suggestions in that article. That kind of thing can really damage a company, and that moronic "journalist" should be fired. I have no affiliation with Alias|Wavefront, and probably never will, but I respect the company and thing it's a travesty that such a thing could get printed without a leading paragraph "What you are about to read is total bullshit."

Please take a moment to write the editors at Wired and let them know how you feel about this.
