More on IBM's eServer i5 Plans for 2005 and 2006
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Back in December, I gave you a preview of IBM's plans for the eServer i5 line in 2005 and beyond. While I was at the COMMON midrange user group meeting in Chicago two weeks ago, I sat down with Jim Herring, director of iSeries product management and business operations, and chatted about what was coming down the pike and learned a little bit more than I knew a few months ago.

Used OS/400 Software a Small But Growing Market
by Alex Woodie

You probably knew that you could buy and sell used AS/400 and iSeries hardware. But did you know that you can also buy and sell used IBM OS/400 software too? If you weren't aware of this, you're not alone. According to Software Clearinghouse, the only pure-play broker of pre-owned OS/400 software, nine out of ten iSeries professionals mistakenly think only the hardware is transferable. However, changes IBM made to licensing agreements with i5/OS will soon put a damper on this small, but growing, market. READ MORE >

Sun Takes Baby Steps Closer to Open Source Java
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Having buried the hatchet with archrival Microsoft a year ago, Sun Microsystems, the creator and steward of the Java programming language and related runtime environments for desktops and servers, still can't quite let go of it. But with the upcoming "Mustang" Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) due early next year, Sun will be offering a new license that it hopes will spur community contribution. Many doubt it will.

As I See It: The Next Job Wave
by Victor Rozek

There are always jobs available to people who don't care how they earn their money or what kind of world they are laboring to fashion. Pimps do OK, so do sweat shop owners, so do arms dealers. Conscience alone is an unreliable brake on the economic engine. So when George Carlin says it's about what you'll do for a dollar, and what you'll do with a dollar, he means that we make economic choices and that those choices have consequences. For IT professionals unconcerned with consequences, job opportunities abound in the great American surveillance society. READ MORE >
