Getting from here to there, reliably
From point A to point B, sometimes through point C and oftentimes on to D or E, more than 200,000 passengers a day count on ANA to get them to their destinations on time.
So, through more than 800 flights per day, ANA's Flight Management System sees to it, that, as Japan's leading airline in on-time performance, ANA continues to remain on time.
And behind this benchmark of punctuality, working away millisecond by millisecond, is HP technology. Find out more.

Sun Offers Financing to Push Sparc Boxes
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Sun Microsystems this week announced two new financing programs that it believes will help customers continue to invest in its UltraSparc-III servers as it ramps up production on its new UltraSparc-IV chips and servers that make use of them. While Sun is not exactly giving away free upgrades to UltraSparc-IV processors to get customers to acquire machines, it is cutting them a break so they don't put off buying now. The financing deals follow upgrade promotions on 1.2 GHz UltraSparc-III uniboards. READ MORE >

Open Source Insurance May Call All Code into Question
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The hardest thing for proponents of the open source programming model to fathom is that the lawsuits between The SCO Group and IBM are only going to be the beginning. From here on out, any company that has a vested interest in supporting the proprietary software licensing model that has by and large defined the software industry for decades is going to attack open source on patent, copyright, and intellectual property grounds. Open Source Risk Management wants to help prepare customers for this eventuality and to cushion the economic and legal blows that open source users might face in the coming years. READ MORE >

Intel to Remove Xeon's Advantages to Push Itanium
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
After nearly a decade of 64-bit processing in the RISC server market, it might be reasonable to accept that 64-bit computing for Intel X86 processors was a foregone conclusion. Since 1996, Intel has been making the case publicly for its 64-bit Itanium and its EPIC (explicitly parallel instruction computing) instruction set. It has not been an easy run for Intel, but the company has a plan to make Itanium take off: Remove the advantages that 32-bit and 64-bit Xeons have on Itaniums, and stress the advantages the Itanium architecture brings.

Maddog 21/21: Bone Appetite
by Hesh Weiner
Computing seems to have become, coincidentally, an aspect of cannibalism, just as cannibalism has once again become a prominent aspect of computing. In Germany, a computer technician is on trial for eating a part of an engineer he met via the Internet, killing the engineer, and subsequently eating a lot more engineer steak. In Northern California, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, among other places, cannibals in the storage, electronics, and computing industries armed with flash memory are killing off and consuming the markets for a lengthening list of gadgets.
