OPINION

Non-Mainstream IT Needs Still Need to be Addressed
By Joel Shore, ITworld

A couple of weeks ago, I dropped by a road show put on by NAPP, the
National Association of Photoshop Users (www.photoshopuser.com). Making
its way across the country, thousands of people gladly pay between $80
and $100 to see lots of new gee-whiz features demonstrated step by step.
These people all use computers, of course, and lots of them are looking
for systems help. But what struck me are the systems opportunities that
these attendees represent -- often without themselves even knowing it.

Distant future to be blighted by Paris Hilton
http://itw.itworld.com/GoNow/a14724a173039a428998256a17
As we visualize the awesome, distant future, there are no doubt many
great things coming: flying cars, domed cities on the moon, robot
servants - and no Paris Hilton! But now that the omnipresent socialite
has learned that cryogenics is her key to immortality, our
great-great-great-grandchildren will also be forced to endure her
antics.
