"We can still confidently predict what the next couple years will look like. Millions of smart, talented people won't be able to get the kind of work they're capable of doing. Lots of recent college graduates will spend years waiting tables or manning ski lifts or moping around at home trying to figure out what to do with their lives. Social challenges like welfare reform and improving public schools, which seemed to have been magically resolved in the late 1990s, will turn out to still be around and in need of drastic action. Worrying about the deficit and the national debt will come back into fashion. And don't be too surprised if concern about U.S. competitiveness (vs. Japan or Europe or China or India) stages a comeback as well. " Fortune.com - The Long, Soggy Recovery |

This is one of the most surprising tech stories I've seen in a while. Gates plans to focus on computer security and privacy. Did they finally get a clue over there? Hrm... I'll beleive it when I see it... I imagine they finally must have started loosing sales because of their track record. Gates: Security is top priority - Tech News - CNET.com |

Highly recommended. A dreamscape in which the character has conversations with his ideas. It reminds me of slacker, but this is much more abstract. Go see it. Waking Life |

This is of interest. However, I really have to question whether there is more to this story then whats being told... I find it hard to beleive that technology like this isn't economically feasable. There are other problems here. DoubleClick turns away from ad profiles - Tech News - CNET.com |
