Daly: The demos are very much a group effort at Nvidia. We have a dedicated demo team with both programming and art staff that produce the final products, but many of the ideas and effects come from engineering, marketing and sales teams throughout Nvidia.

With perhaps another 18 months before its case against IBM for copyright infringement goes on trial, SCO has chosen (perhaps ironically) to take its battle against open source out in the open. On Thursday, company CEO Darl McBride posted the first of what he said would be "a series of letters ... in the months ahead ... examin[ing] the many issues SCO has raised ... over violations of our UNIX intellectual property contract."

Yankee analyst Chan said that an SMB usually needs at least one person on hand to handle IT issues even if it doesn't have a full IT staff.

Considering that e-business as a concept was not part of most people's vocabularies before the 1990s, the number of technologies and processes that have been developed since then is staggering. Some, such as Amazon.com's "1-Click" checkout procedure, have revolutionized the way people buy products, while others, such as smart cards, have changed both enterprise and e-commerce transactions...

With the market recovering, once again we will be able to measure the speed with which one company takes advantage of emerging opportunities and others do not.

Unlike other conferences of its type, this one is largely staffed by Microsoft programmers -- the same kind of people who generally attend these things. People tend to connect better with those who are similar to them, which makes this kind of conference vastly more powerful than those that are staffed by marketing types talking to developers about what the company will do for them in the future (but often having no actual clue about what is really going on at the company)...
