Unisys Pushes Virtual Windows Desktops and Exchange Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
While Unisys is still known as a mainframe and high-end X64 server maker, particularly for Windows workloads, the company actually makes a lot of its dough in the services and systems integration area. And because it has a technology bend, being a maker of chips, servers, operating systems, and middleware (back when it wasn't even called that), the company often brings a different twist to a new idea when it puts together a service or solution.

by Alex Woodie
Any potential deal between Microsoft and Yahoo now appears all but dead in the wake of terminated discussions between the two companies last week, and revelations of Microsoft's extremely low-ball offer for an alternative partnership deal. While Microsoft left the partnership door open just a hair, Yahoo slammed it shut in Microsoft's face and added insult to injury by finalizing an advertising outsourcing deal with Google. READ MORE >

As I See It: The Programmer as Artist
by Victor Rozek
It has been variously described as art, science, a teachable skill, a creative process, and an exercise in logic. And because it can boast of having all those properties, the nature of programming remains as elusive as good government.
