The Digital Nervous Systems Revisited zdnet.com

Esteemed ilk sister Mary Jo hangs out at this year's gathering of the socio-economic majority, and is left scratching her head.

Last year, some of the CEOs who managed to dodge the bouncers standing between them and the press, acknowledged that the CEO Summit was more like a giant infommercial for Microsoft than a chance for them to dialogue with Microsoft about their technology concerns. This year, if we had gotten access to any of the CEO attendees, I think we would have heard a different story. Rather than being too product- and technology-specific, DNS is a term that is content-free.

I sort of noticed that content free thing too. Anybody else notice that? One of Bill's big initiatives these days, when he's not busy representing himself legally.

Cheers, Dan.

>>>This looks like a forgotten piece of some previous "grass roots" effort in Bill's defense, from when things first blew up, there are a bunch of dead and never-finished links but the intent is clear. What next for the friends of Bill, motherhood.org? apple-pie.org? freedom-is-slavery.org?<<<

BTW, did anybody ever hear again from that '2.5 million member' pro-Microsoft 'computer scientists' organization that 2% of America's working population allegedly belonged to?

When their claims got ridiculed here and elsewhere on the Internet, and the links to other somnolent and eclectic looney movements unearthed, they took an immediate powder.

A few questions:

1. Did anyone ever prove a link between them and MSFT?
2. What was their name? ACS, CSA?

3. Did the news organizations, every one of whom gave them time or space, ever admit they had run press releases from a false organization? I didn't see anything of the kind. This was one case where the pro news organizations had it totally wrong and the only place you could get the truth was in the Internet.

4. Did any of you save that wacky link?
