A very good article by Jakob Nielsen on information pollution and the possibility of IM following email footsteps.
A pretty good article on the difference between Windows and Unix programmers.
Joel on Software - Biculturalism
A pretty scathing article about the rise of the admininstrators in the development process. I confess a weak spot for this - I empathize more with the developers here...
Role Fragmentation - Software Reality
Now this is a toy, albeit one we've been hearing about for decades. The Moller one is a bit better known.
Aerospectives--Transformational Transportation
Clarke is one of my favorite writers, and this is a pretty interesting interview. Interesting enough that I'll forgive his incorrect derivation of the word "boot" as in "boot a computer".
My understanding of the correct derivation goes something like this: the computer needs some initial code to even know how to begin loading the operating system and figure out how to execute programs. This is seemingly a logical impossibility, similar to pulling onself up by one's bootstraps, and so computers are said to be "booted".
OneWorld South Asia - Humanity will survive information deluge
A great, slightly tongue-in-cheek article about the return of the boom, or boomlet, or something.
Are dot coms making a comeback?
