Veritas CEO Gary Bloom said this week that he can see a movement away from Solaris and towards Linux. Bloom said this as his company introduced its new line of Linux products and partnerships. Sun's reaction? An official said that Bloom meant Linux is in an early adoption phase, not that Solaris is in a dumping phase. SUN AND APPLE NOT WORKING ON STAROFFICE FOR MAC | IDG News StarOffice for Mac OS X isn't carved in concrete yet. Sun and Apple have talked about it, but according to two open-source developers and a Sun official, nothing is written in stone. Sun doesn't want anyone to think it's working in secret with Apple to develop the project.

A hospital computer in England assumed a birth year ending in 99 was 1999. A staffer contacted Joseph Dickinson, presumably born three years ago, for an eye check and told him to bring his mum. Can you see where this is going? Little Joey the toddler is really Mr. Dickinson the centenarian. He was born in 1899 -- Mum can't make it! Evidently the Y2K bug still has some teeth, although the same might not be able to be said for Mr. Dickinson.
