ZL Technologies, an archiving vendor, is suing Gartner Group for $1.7 billion. It seems that ZL didn't like its position in Gartner's famous Magic Quadrant. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers mostly ridicule both parties -- and also at anyone who bases IT purchasing decisions on a Magic Quadrant.

Kol: That's pretty neat. Wish it was shorter like wave.com or gwave.com (Google owns gwave.com anyway) or something.
- Nick Humphries
i think this @googlewave.com email address is a temporary thing during testing. after it goes live you should be able to just use it with your google account. at least that's what i think:)
- Taylan Aydınlı
if only you could bold an announcement in FF like you can in Wave :D [oh, and my username on Wave is the splendiforously original "adamlasnik"]
- Adam Lasnik

Karoli: is that your google wave nick or are you sniffling? :)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I'm sniffling because I don't have a google wave nick. Despite two invites, there is still nothing in my inbox. I am not in with the in crowd. :(
- Karoli
Karoli -- It appears as if there's a batch of emails going out now. Keep checking.

Awesome idea to get on the Roku box Leo. My wife will hate you more now that She has to hear you in the car and see you on tv :D
- Anthony Farrior
I didn't intend to watch the whole thing, but it was so interesting I just couldn't stop. :o)
- Ken Morley
GRAND SLAM, Leo at ONA - look forward to getting a Roku box; this from a football AND tech fanatic; one quibble - in a world where Glenn Beck prospers, I sense a bifurcation in the "meritocracy"
- heretic_twit
Great Speech, hope you get on Hulu also, I think you nailed it. I look forward to the TED speech as well
- Rick
Leo, your talk was very informative and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your passion.
- Rob Cairns
Loved the speech. I really do enjoy hearing about behind the scenes stuff. Especially with something that I really love.
- Andres
Leo I enjoyed your speech from the ONA conference. It's very cool to hear about some of the stuff that happens behind the scenes. Keep up the great work that you do at the Twit Network!
- flashtrader
I think we are luck to be living in these times and working our way through this information revolution. Having someone like you, who is so articulate, informative who has had foot in both new and old media, and who is willing to take us along for the journey. Fantastic.
- John
Was very interested in your comments about the difficulties surrounding the delivery of podcasts. So true.There's that tension between the ease of pushing a button to watch TV and find nothing on vs the tech effort and skill (for a lot of people,) to get Podcasts that serve niche interests. Yesterday a guy asked me to help him with his iPhone. I nearly collapsed with shock, he's only using it for contact management and phoning people. Not even a second page of Apps.
- John
I'm evaluating online backup solutions just now and it looks like a choice to Carbonite or Mozy, if anyone has done this before I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks man! I'm pretty excited. Guess it means I'll be out of Twitter range for a week and a half or so, though. Pretty sure I'm going to miss you guys...

Richi, I'm talking about the points of the Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ. Will those go up or down in a hyper inflation situation.
- Alex Scoble
Used to be a little verse...when stocks are high - interest will die. When interest is high, stocks will die.
- Janet
OK, thanks Janet...taking that to mean that you think the markets will go down in a hyper inflation situation.
- Alex Scoble
hyper inflation = bad economy --> crashing markets
- Amit Morson
Yes Alex, though I may have this confused (a normal for me). Motley Fool website is like my spouse's stock bible.
- Janet
Depends on what the Fed does in response. If they don't drive up interest rates to put us in recession in order to reduce inflation, we could have true hyperinflation.
- Michael Osterman
I would assume that the Fed will increase interest rates to fight inflation.
- Alex Scoble
@alex: unless my head is on wrong, it seems to me hyperinflation is a situation in which those carrying debt* will do awesome. (* - that is, carrying debt from the prior, non-inflationary scenario into the hyperinflation scenario; not necessarily incurring NEW debt within the hyper-inflationary scenario.)
- Anthony Citrano
Hehe, OK, Anthony, but what effect will that have on the markets?
- Alex Scoble
@alex: sorry. let me confer with my crystal ball and tea leaves and get back to you.
- Anthony Citrano
Alex, are there people predicting hyper inflation? I haven't really been following the news lately.
- James Poling
Yes...there are people predicting hyper inflation. Some people are expecting interest rates to jump as high as 20%
- Alex Scoble
Wow, that would be horrible. (I'm sending this response via email so I can't see who it was) but the person who said "think of post WWI Germany" was exactly right. That's what happened to their economy and it was disastrous.
- James Poling

I predict there will be a very large earthquake in California in the future. Also, someday, you and everyone you know will die.

Thinking of upgrading from Vista to Windows 7. Will run a dual boot setup, but I don't want to migrate all my Documents and Music. Solution? Symlinks! Thanks How-To Geek. Someday Windows will be just as good as Linux!

I wonder if @Mozy will think the file has changed if I create hard links to the exact same (respective) locations... I don't want to back up 100s of gigs of info after an upgrade. Anyone know?
- Tommy Keene
Ran a test with Mozy. Moved a folder in the backup directory to another partition. Symlinked to that folder so the link is in the same place as the original. Mozy thinks it needs to back up the data so it gets encrypted, but during the send process decides that the files is unchanged.
- Tommy Keene
Yes, that's my experience also: Mozy follows mounts, symlinks, junctions, and hardlinks. If the same file appears twice it only uploads it once.

"Buried (inaccurate): the usual old wives' tales and wishful thinking. The only way to get a "free" upgrade these days is to pay full fare and be an elite-level frequent flier."

...when they stop (allegedly) breaking laws in the territories in which they operate?
- Richi Jennings
There's no "allegedly" here. They verdict is in. "Intel has harmed millions of European consumers by deliberately acting to keep competitors out of the market for computer chips for many years." ... They'll appeal, for sure, but you can safely call them evil monopolists now. ;-)
