Making it more convenient for Google users to work with Zoho applications indicates that Google is open to or supportive of technologies such as OpenID, or [...]
I couldn’t figure out why Salesforce.com developed Apex until I started looking at how difficult it is to get “real” programmatic functionality into a browser and on-demand applications. Now I get it.
There is a key missing piece for cloud computing to really go mainstream–a higher-level programming language to be able to do more advanced [...]
You might choose to think, in fact, that both groups of pirates are doing exactly the same thing: taking on those bigger than themselves, those with more money, more power, more status.

Here is the ‘footprint’ left by the lander’s robotic arm on Saturday.
Images of the “Snow Queen” site further support NASA scientists’ assumptions that the area in and around the lander is composed of ice, according to a statement from Uwe Keller, the robotic arm camera’s lead scientist from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System [...]
