Review: Google now corrects errors in its search engine by contracting with the publisher of the FBI History Book at: http://books.google.com/books?id=8h406aDUeL4C&pg=PA229&lpg=PA229&dq=geral+w+sosbee&source=web&ots=pMvuHpGhcM&sig=3KR1DAnBo_ObcabZqTH3WAhsr7I The FBI had previously deleted or otherwise interfered with Google's coverage of the book, but true to form/substance Google prevents the evil intended by the FBI. Thank You, Google.

Review: RE: http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/ As of December 7, 2006, Sosbee notices that the fbi and the cia have apparently corrupted the search engines, particularly Google and Yahoo. One piece of evidence of this undue influence on global search engines is seen in the failure of these two pretentious groups to consistently cover the fbi history book data described below. Yahoo has no coverage of the book, while Google shows sporadic and limited interest in the history book. The following data attempts to summarize the fbi history book wherein Geral Sosbee is featured on page 211: "See the fbi history book, Society Of Former Special Agents Of The Federal Bureau of Investigation" . Published 1996 by Turner Publishing Company, 412 Broadway, P.O. Box 3101, Paducah, KY 42001-0121. Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 95-60549 ISBN: 1-56311-205-1 http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/historybook.html Please show me that I am wrong, Google.geral sosbee

Review: Excellent article, regardless of the future nature of the technology. Corporate offices I have experienced used the same thing for minis, the IBM PROFS on dumb terminals, until Windows became the contemporary dumb terminal circa 1990. And PROFS only went away corporately then because IBM refused to adjust their pricing, and we all know what happened to IBM and their refusals to adjust. ;-) Even an old guy like me can benefit from OOo. I find it really nice, and the price is right for a tryout, before springing for StarOffice. I find the new OOo database useful, but where are the usable APIs for the Java interface please?

Review: Does anyone ever argue about what's the best voice mail service? Regardless if you use a wired line, cellular, or VoIP service the VM is the VM. We do you like having only 1 VM mailbox? Same thing's going to happen to the desktop. Your ISP will offer a bunch of services and if you want to use others (on the Net) then the Web services based on open IP standards will allow a number of innovators to play in this space and compete for your business. All without the care and feeding of the WinTel monopoly. No more sync between home, office and mobile. Do it once, do it on the Net and let the service providers keep it safe, secure, and available.

Review: I have used MSOffice Pro over the years but started using OO.o a couple of years ago and have reached a point where I use OO.o almost exclusively. What OO.o and StarOffice are sorely missing is an MSAccess equivalant. If this happened, my use (also in my business) of MS products outside the OS would drop to under 5%.

Review: ahhhhh StarOffice, agree with the ex-sun employee, a few years ago it was buggy.... but it's come along way. I use it all the time at work, send stuff home and use microsoft on the same doc, then send back to work as .doc, they usually translate pretty well.

Review: I use OpenOffice, which is a Star Office variant. The program has come a long way from early versions of Star Office. I seldom have any problem working with MS Office documents. Now that I am comfortable with OpenOffice, I think it is foolish to spend even a dime on MSOffice.

Review: Have any of you ever used the Star Office suite??? It is a drunken, crippled version of Microsoft Office--at least it was several years ago. When I worked at Sun, we were forbidden to use any Microsoft product. The product was extremely temperamental and nearly unusable with our vendors and customers due to chronic compatibility problems with Microsoft products. Being a clever lot though, we would usually save our Star Office files as a .ppt, .doc, or.xls file and e-mail it to our personal accounts, work on them using Microsoft Office at home and then resave them as .pdf files. Maybe they got the kinks out, but Star Office was a huge productivity drain and was universally hated within Sun!

Review: I've use Star Office and it's just as useful as Office. If they can get it to work quickly over the Net, I think it will do well. Only problem is that you have to be online to get your programs.

Review: I believe this article stopped short of the full potential of this type of alliance/software. If you can change the pricing model for desktop software from the current license per processor to a rental license per user, then you pressure other software to deliver on the same model. This leads to the utility-based IT model. All the big computer companies (IBM, Sun, HP ) try to offer a form of utility-based pay per use type computing but can't meet the market requirement due to software licensing constraints. This could bring a new model of computing and IT to business. Whoever gets this right could win big. Respectfully, The Texas Buckeye
