As for everybody liking ORCL and choosing them for XML apps, you have to remember that the web applications are frequently developed by very young code jockeys

Maybe some other vertical markets are different, but in the money management industry (where I operate) the senior management always scrutinise new vendors very carefully. In what industries do you think that young developers would get away with choosing tools from Excelon without the top management doing their own due diligence on the company?

Information convergence platform enables service providers to offer new revenue-generating services to the wireless market...


Grace, Would you like to suggest what this means in practice?

To be candid, I have to agree with the posters on Yahoo that it sounds like it was meant to be comprehensible to a non-techical audience and ended up being incomprehensible to anybody. BWDIK?

And, by the way, maybe someone in the PR agency should take English 101 so they can learn that the apostrophe of posession is not used with the pronoun "it".
