This paper reports on the growing popularity of blogging not just among Web obsessive users but also in research institutions and corporations. Companies are increasingly harnessing Weblogs and related technologies as platforms where data, information, knowledge and opinion can be shared and traded among customers, prospects, employees, partners and the media in a two-way, open-exchange. The attractions of corporate blogging are varied, but include improving market status, personalizing customer relationships, boosting public relations and improving recruitment. On the downside, however, managers may worry about the ease and speed with which company secrets, personal abuse, libel or invasions of privacy can be blogged. Unfortunately, monitoring this sort of potentially damaging material is far from easy. Despite this, blogging has become an important tool to the academia. In particular, blogging can be used to introduce, test and share research ideas, while using registration and secure access approaches to address concerns over intellectual property.

This paper reports on the resurgence of the mainframe computer despite earlier predictions that the future lay with the smaller UNIX or Wintel servers. This fundamental shift in mainframe economics has been attributed to several factors including the lower costs per MIPS (millions of instructions per second) and the support for Linux and open source software. To address the issue of an aging workforce, IBM has initiated training programs in zSeries-related skills for IT professionals in the US as well as in other emerging markets such as China.

This paper reports on how the advent of optofluidics has made the development of a new breed of miniaturized, adaptable, low-power optical devices possible. These optical devices incorporate liquid lenses with the shape-changing properties of the human eye and use microelectronic or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to control their shape. Several companies including Varioptic, Philips and Lucent Technologies are now working on offering digital cameras with optical systems that feature liquid autofocus lenses. Beyond using liquid as a focusing element, researchers are also studying how this optofluidics can be applied to the so-called lab on a chip device. They believe that fluidics have potential as the basis for building versatile, easily adaptable systems. However, they first need to develop new fabrication techniques and address the issue of chemical compatibility of fluidics with solid structures and long-term stability.
