Nate writes "[0]Overture announced that they bought [1]AltaVista today
for $140M in cash and stock. This follows closely on the heels of
Yahoo's purchase of Inktomi. Considering the significant financial
muscle of Yahoo and Overture, I hope that Google can continue to
maintain their lead. For those of you who aren't familiar with
[2]Overture, they are the 800-pound gorilla in the pay-for-placement

Whether (And When) To Buy HDTV?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/19/0047218
zzxc writes "A NBC local station in Indiana is carrying an article on
[0]whether it is smart to buy a high definition television now or
later. While it isn't very technical, it does provide some practical
insight. Keep in mind that the FCC deadline for television stations
switching to HDTV is December 31, 2006." I don't think I want another
television screen that can't also be a computer monitor.

His latest essay is one that's a little more personal and that we can
all relate to: [7] Why Nerds Are Unpopular . It's a lengthy but
engaging writeup of that chamber of horrors we call high school and why
being smarter than the average bear is more of a liability than an
asset during that stage in life. It's food for thought for those of us
who've already been there, done that and been [8]stuffed into lockers
by the football team and it should give some hope to those who are
going through it right now."

http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1610206
- by Tina Gasperson - Sometimes I think I just want to go back to Windows. I have much less personal responsibility with that operating system. If some piece of hardware doesn't work out of the box, I can make a phone call and demand that someone do something about it. If that's not successful, then I just take it back. It's not quite that easy with Linux. I can't be stupid. And I like to be stupid sometimes.
