Oracle - not dead yet
Apache - not dead yet
Apple - not dead yet
Google - far from dead
Intuit - not dead yet
Sony - not dead yet
Yahoo - ironically Microsoft's involvement is what is going to actually kill them. In other words, Microsoft will piss all over the brand to destroy a perfectly working portal.

So the answer is no. VMWare is not the Netscape. At least not by Microsoft's hand.]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 14:49:19 -0400

Oh wait! They don't even make products! They don't even have a website!!!

What are they suing for and why did it take them until after the iPhone came out to realize they had something special???]]> Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:43:13 -0500

And also I love the non-existent iPhone killers. How come they never came into existence BEFORE the iPhone was released??? You mean it really took Apple to come up with the idea of random access to voice mail??? Something that has been technically available for years but manufacturers for some reason would not provide?!?! Just as with the iPod and mp3 players, cell phone manufacturers will miss this up and continue to play catch up while real innovation will come from Apple.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 08:29:18 -0400
