Economic necessity is the mother of software reuse
By Sean McGrath, ITworld

Here is an assertion you are unlikely to see anywhere other than in this article: an economic recession right now would do the Web the world of good. Wow! How could that possible be true? Lets suck all the money out of the system and see what happens? Sounds painful. Sounds suicidal. Has McGrath finally lost it?

OPINION
_______

The great iPhone pricing debacle

Just a few weeks ago, the world was waiting to hear what Steve Jobs had to say about the iPhone 3G. Would it feature GPS? Would it offer MMS and a chat app? Would the iPhone App Store strut its stuff? All of those questions were answered in one way or another, and although we weren’t too happy with everything we heard, one important element of that keynote speech stuck in our minds: the new iPhone 3G would come in at a most astounding price of $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model.
