IT Matters, But Not Like Vendors Think It Does
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Almost universally, IT vendors have a bunch of bright but self-righteous people at the helm--in this regard, they are like newsletter editors, I suppose--and they do not take lightly any criticism of information technology and its importance in the fabric of our being. It's a matter of faith with all of these people that what they do matters, and matters in very important ways that are distinct from other important ways since the dawn of time. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: Post Mortem
by Hesh Weiner
Organized message delivery systems are as old as civilization itself. The Egyptians had some kind of postal system in place as far back as 2000 B.C. More than 2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great set up a kind of pony express in his Persian empire. The Chinese had a postal system in place long before that, and maybe even before the Egyptians had theirs. (We'd know a lot more if more records had been preserved.) The Romans did a bang-up job that included the extensive construction of post roads. Fast-forward a few millennia, to e-mail. It's hard to say whether this is the future of the post or the end of it.
