Google's Dream, Apple's Nightmare? - TIME

A new smartphone is debuting on Sept. 23, and, no, it's not just another iPhone clone. The HTC Dream from T-Mobile will be the first handset to run Google's new mobile operating system, Android. And while it won't look as sleek as the iPhone, it promises to give mobile-phone users a lot more freedom and flexibility.

Health Care: The Real Fiscal Nightmare

A heated discussion is taking place in the economic blogsphere over the rival tax plans of Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. Of course, the battle of rival tax blueprints has been in force ever since the two hopefuls sewed up their respective nominations, but a new round of fighting recently erupted. A number of important points have been made. But the fiscal policy dispute, while informative and fascinating, has focused too much on tax regimes and not enough on the real challenge: health care. When it comes to domestic, nonmilitary fiscal policy in the new millennium, everything is dwarfed by health care.

Google takes its defense of the Yahoo ad deal to the people

As part of its efforts to avoid being swallowed by Microsoft, Yahoo negotiated an advertising deal with Redmond's worst nightmare: Google. A test run of the program apparently worked well enough that the companies have agreed to run the program for four years, with options for extending it to as many as 10, even as Microsoft's interest in Yahoo waned. But regulators in both the US and Europe have started raising questions about the antitrust implications of the deal, raising the possibility that it will never go into effect. This skepticism has caused Google to start aggressively making its case for the deal, both in public and on its corporate blogs. Apparently, the company was worried that the different venues might make all the information diffuse and difficult to obtain through a web search, so it has now put it all in a single place.

The real solution to broken robots

Another Way the LHC Could Self-Destruct

KentuckyFC writes "Just when you thought it was safe to switch on the LHC (though it won't be for a while yet), another nightmare scenario has emerged that some critics worry could cause the particle accelerator to explode. The culprit this time is not an Earth-swallowing black hole but a 'Bose supernova' in the accelerator's superfluid helium bath. Physicists have been playing with Bose Einstein Condensate (BECs) for over 10 years now. But in 2001, one group discovered that placing them in a powerful magnetic field could cause the attractive forces between atoms to become repulsive. That caused their BEC to explode in a Bose supernova — which they called a 'Bosenova,' a name that fortunately did not catch on. This was little more than a curiosity when only a microscopic blob of cold matter was involved.

Steven Sinofsky, Senior VP in charge of Windows 7 development, has just posted some details on the Microsoft's Windows 7 Engineering blog on what the internal structure looks like for the upcoming OS. It sounds (at least to us) equal parts logistical nightmare and brute force "1000 monkeys at 1000 typewriters", with 25 teams divided up to an average of 40 developers per team.

SOA & Web Services - Business Rules Caf

One of the hardest things for most IT departments is change. Not only do they have to cope with the technology change that is inherent in their business, they have to cope with all sorts of other change - regulatory changes, business changes, competitive changes, requirement changes, process changes, policy changes. All this change creates a maintenance nightmare so that in many IT shops most of the time is spent not in building cool new applications but editing and "fixing" code in old systems. Business rules, one of the fastest-growing markets in application development technology, offers a way to stop worrying about change and learn to love it.
