The soon-to-be extinct company is selling off its software, including its Java development tool Visual Cafe. A Giga analyst says if you're a WebGain customer, you should switch to a new Java tool within three to six months because "WebGain is no longer a top-notch product."

A survey in the U.K. shows that of the 72% of professionals who admit being pot smokers, almost half work in IT. And you thought the IT department took enough "hits" as it was! A firm called TongueWag did the survey, and it has...um...lit a fire in some circles. Researchers say the results "indicate that our preconceptions about cannabis users can be biased." Translation? Slackers, musicians, Cheech and Chong aren't the only ones rolling 'em.
