A letter regarding James Trefil's review of A Short History of Nearly Everything

I am glad that James Trefil liked Bill Bryson's praiseworthy book A Short History of Nearly Everything (January–February 2004), but I disagree with his statement that "the mysterious region outside the orbit of Pluto" is "not really in the center of planetary science these days." I think it is! There is widespread interest in the so-called Kuiper belt objects, which may be leftover planetesimals that provide the key to understanding the birth of the solar system.

Microsoft, Novell Continue Unlikely Windows-Linux Partnership

In November 2006, Redmond, WA-based Microsoft and Waltham, MA-based Novell surprised the software world by announcing that Microsoft would market Novell’s version of the Linux operating system to its own customers, and that the two companies would set up an “Interoperability Lab� in Cambridge, MA.
