You don't suppose they would support e-commerce candidates do you? Here's how it works: IBM, in partnership with the Internet service provider Conxion, is providing up to $1 million in Internet technology and services, including servers, software, Web hosting and managed services, tools, training, and round-the-clock support for six months to selected Internet startups. Startups will also get technological help from IBM partners Vignette (Nasdaq: VIGN), Servicesoft Technologies, and Mercury Interactive (Nasdaq: MERQ). redherring.com Doug

I heard Bill Joy speak at a lunch last week and he was pretty impressive. A bit loony, to be sure--obsessed with the potential for future bioterrorism, for example, in a way that struck me as a tiny bit hysterical (I do that kind of stuff professionally). But obviously very very smart and visionary. He made a great point about how both closed architectures and the open-source movement were bad, while proprietary open architectures were the best for all. I could only think to myself...QCOM! QCOM! QCOM! Actually, the only really disappointing thing for me was his apparent lack of understanding about CDMA. I mean, he kept talking about how wonderful it was that Europe had coalesced around the GSM standard, etc. etc. He didn't say much about e-commerce, though....but it wouldn't really have been appropriate in the setting... tekboy/Ares@herecomestheSUNW.com
