| 2009/05/20 Why journalists deserve low pay

| 2009/04/27 Swine flu: Twitter's power to misinform
Who knew that swine flu could also infect Twitter? Yet this is what appears to have happened in the last 24 hours, with thousands of Twitter users turning to their favorite service to query each other about this nascent and potentially lethal threat as well as to share news and latest developments from Mexico, Texas, Kansas and New York (you can check most recent Twitter updates on the subject by searching for “swine flu” and “#swineflu”). And despite all the recent Twitter-enthusiasm about this platform's unique power to alert millions of people in decentralized and previously unavailable ways, there are quite a few reasons to be concerned about Twitter's role in facilitating an unnecessary global panic about swine flu....

| 2009/02/03 The OLAP Report: The rise and fall of Microsoft PerformancePoint Planning
Despite all the positive auguries, it seems that PerformancePoint Planning has flopped. Microsoft announced on January 23 that it was to be discontinued. There will be a final SP3 Planning release in mid 2009 to deal with immediate customer issues, but no further enhancements. It is possible that some planning functionality will be added into other Microsoft products, such as Analysis Services and Excel, but this will not be based on the abandoned PerformancePoint Planning product. The Biz# project will have run for almost six years from commencement to abandonment, with little to show for it apart from some disappointed customers and partners....

THE Italian liner Andrea Doria sank after a collision with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm 50 miles south of Nantucket on July 26, 1956. ''Andrea Doria: The Final Chapter'' is not an epitaph for the Italian liner, however; it is a film record of the successful attempt to retrieve the Andrea Doria's safe, a project far more interesting than it may sound. It will be seen on Channel 11 at 8 tonight and again at 2 A.M....
