Write programs for your Palm with C#

New product called Objects 2006 for developing Palm applications.

I've used PocketStudio Professional before and I liked it. PocketStudio Professional was for writing Delphi applications for the Palm. As far as I know, its still kicking.

I can imagine what can come out of this. Until I get a project that requires a Palm application, I probably don't have a need for this utility yet.

Don't we all? :-)

Well, it seems Google is looking for more cash...2.1 billion. Yes, I said billion with a 'B'.

They'll be selling 5.3 million shares of stock so they can have some extra cash lying around to purchase some more companies. That's just my thinking. :-)

Government turns Iraq documents over to Bloggers

The government is using the power of the Internet to help translate some Iraqi documents.

Using the Internet (finally!), the government is leveraging bloggers to look through the the documents they posted.

Even though there are 55,000 boxes of documents, only 600 are currently posted on the site. I'd say about 1/8 of them are currently written in English.
