	Scientist 'infected by computer virus' catches publicity fever You'll be seeing variations of this headline all day today and I'll bet good money they spread to TV news faster than flu through a kindergarten: "Scientist 'infected with computer virus.' " Feel free to call BS any time you please. The source of this contagion is a remarkably credulous BBC report about a British researcher who claims to be the first person "infected with a computer virus."

Read More Does the iPhone Look Dated? Just a quick question today - does the iPhone look, um, "dated" to you? A couple of people have recently remarked to me that the iPhone looks a bit old now, and I'm inclined to agree. Its simple elegance has become perhaps too common, and just doesn't have the flash it once did (no pun intended). Read More Free Beer! I heard a rumor about an open source beer and it's true!

How about SQL11… There has been no announcement from Microsoft on future releases of SQL Server beyond this year so we cannot predict accurately. We can speculate, however. The stated 3 year policy points to SQL Server 2011 but my sense is that would be too early after the newly release SQL Server 2008 R2. Read More A Focus on the Human Side of Business Analytics More than a decade ago, I began to notice discussions about data mining in the press.
