Big technology companies join to link future electronics appliances NEW YORK (AP) - Fifteen top technology companies agreed to create a common technical standard to easily link a future generation of gadgets and appliances to each other and the Internet. The agreement announced Monday could hasten the day when people commonly use their home phones to access the Internet, or have refrigerators and other appliances remotely checked by manufacturers for defects. The participants in the group, called the Open Service Gateway Specification, include IBM Corp., Motorola Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc., Lucent Technologies and Oracle Corp. The new standard, based on Sun's Java universal programming language, is intended to help speed the development of networked consumer devices, which Tuesday follow a hodgepodge of software standards. By creating devices to a single specification, the manufacturers and software developers hope to make linking digital gizmos to computer networks as easy as plugging a telephone into a wall. "Each one of these applications had its own industry and working group and standard," said Eric Brown, an industry analyst with Forrester Research, based in Boston. "It's becoming clear there's an opportunity to connect everything to everything." The other members of the group are Alcatel, Cable & Wireless, Electricite de France, Enron Communications, Ericsson, Network Computer Inc., Nortel Networks, Philips Electronics, Sybase and Toshiba. One noticeable no-show was Microsoft Corp., the largest maker of computer software which is pushing its dominant Windows as the operating system for future Internet gizmos. Microsoft's absence could hamper the widespread acceptance of a new standard from the group. southam.com

Dear Sonki, Given the market pattern over the last few weeks are you coming around to my view that a serious correction may be in store further down. Or do you view these dips as buying opportunity. BTW, bought some QNTM at 16 1/8 last Friday after earlier bailing out in the 20s. What do you like currently. (I took a position in ADIC before earnings, shot up 35% the next day - at 17 still a reasonable buy) Tomorrow may be a good day to get back in COMS. Regards Alok
