The Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) advocacy group says it will add two new, limited-term seats to its board of directors next year. Will one of those seats be reserved for snubbed Sun? The company has said it only wanted to join the group as a permanent board member and has cautiously welcomed the recent news. STAROFFICE FOR A SONG DOWN UNDER | ZDNet Sun really wants in the office! The company is offering educational and non-profit institutions in Australia nearly carte blanche to use StarOffice 6.0 in exchange for a wee fee. Sun thinks this is the way to grow a large enterprise user-base and take a bite out of Microsoft. RIVALS SAY MS UP TO OLD TRUST TRICKS | The Associated Press Loose lips might sink ships, but tight lips rile rivals. Some of Microsoft's competitors say the company isn't sharing the details about "communications protocols" as per the antitrust settlement. Competitors like Red Hat Linux say Microsoft's reluctance to share the technical data is the kind of behavior that led to the antitrust case in the first place. SUN'S TECHNOLOGY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN | ServerWatch Sun's "Technology Days" 2002-2003 are here again. The series of worldwide seminars feeds the heads of Sun developers, programmers, Web developers, content providers, service providers, and system integrators so they can develop applications for the Internet, intranet and enterprise. Sun says it's planning more code camps this time around.

Have you noticed that the last few Dell commercials have been decidedly dude-free? So where is Steven, the dimpled ditz who's been pitching PCs all over TV for the last couple of years? A Dell official said the company is looking at other ad campaigns and that the current ads starring a group of unctuous interns are getting good feedback. He refused to say if dude is getting a Dell pink slip. Poor Steven, he was really going places. "Saturday Night Live" had just started to make fun of him for Pete's sake!
