As ridiculous as it sounds, EspringUSA (the company who brought us the pop-up dressing room) has created The Talking Toonies, a line of teddy bears and stuffed animals which hold a cell phone "and once a call comes through, special circuitry enables the bear to move its mouth and head and appear to...

Sun's Jonathan Schwartz has posted an interesting blog entry that makes the case that open is more an issue of portability than one of available source code (see http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jonathan/20040808#rewriting_history_and_vocabulary). I've read this one through several times, and it...

Last week I posted an entry entitled "Defending ColdFusion Against Java", and several of you e-mailed me to ask my thoughts on ASP and ASP.NET. I just posted three more entries in this series, and so that they are all linked, here are the URL's: Java:...
