<FRIDAY September 14, 2007>

     Each Friday, we present a short list of the hottest whitepapers, webcasts and research available. Information you can use to solve problems that crept up during the week, and to prepare for the challenges you'll face in the days ahead. We also provide links to news stories you might have missed, plus facts, quotes and other forms of brain-candy. (Hint: The fun stuff is near the bottom, so don't forget to scroll.) Have a great weekend!

Steam Trek: The Moving Picture (Star Trek Parody)
Its throwback mission: To go where no talkie has gone before.

On this day in 2000, Microsoft released both Windows Me and the most recent update to MS-DOS. In 1998, telecommunications companies MCI Communications and WorldCom completed their $37 billion merger to form MCI WorldCom. In 1959, the Soviet probe Luna 2 crashed onto the Moon, becoming the first man-made object to reach it. In 1958, German engineer Ernst Mohr's two rockets--the first German post-war rockets--reached the upper atmosphere. And in 1886, typewriter ribbon was patented. Happy Birthday Faith Ford (1964), Sam Neill and Jon "Bowzer" Bauman (1947), and Ivan Pavlov (1849). RIP Juliet Prowse (d. 1996), Grace Kelly (1982), US President William McKinley (1901), US Vice President Aaron Burr (1836) and John Harvard (1638).
