If you want to get really spooked: read the interview with the ITU guy in the current CT on page 64. Just reading that arrogant attitude that oozes out of every sentence makes me feel sick. Yes, the ITU would very much like to regulate the Internet - sure, because right now it has no say in the Internet. And that's a very good thing. The ITU is a bunch of bureaucrats, participation comes with high costs and accordingly is dominated by large corporations. Open source projects and standards from the free software community wouldn't stand a chance at the ITU - but both at IETF and ICANN there are opportunities for influence for organizations that aren't big corporations. RFCs are created in a way that is open to almost everyone - you just have to be willing to take on the organization, but a working group isn't bound to a mountain of money like at the ITU.
No, I don't want the ITU as a regulator on the Internet - because an Internet run by the ITU would no longer be any fun.
And here we go again, another scapegoat being driven through town. While I'm not a smoker and don't take explicit coffee or tea breaks, the idea that employee breaks alone actually have a meaningful impact on operating results is pretty absurd. Ultimately, this suggests that employees are all just shirkers anyway - a theme that's been running through all these discussions lately.
The fact that idle time and wasted work hours are often caused by absurd organizational structures in companies is conveniently overlooked. If I think about how much working time was squandered on meetings that turned out to be completely pointless in hindsight, I couldn't make up for it with breaks until retirement (especially since there seems to be an endless supply of meetings that later turn out to be pointless).

If you have an HP 200 LX like me and you're a fan of the old Lotus Agenda - essentially a first desktop freeform database with a strong focus on automatic data organization - you can download the linked file. It's a pre-installed version of Lotus - Agenda has apparently been freely available for quite some time. Really innovative software for its time. Although not blazingly fast on the small machine, it's definitely usable - however, not from the graphical environment of the HP 200 LX, but directly from the prompt.
Important note: Agenda is not Year 2000 compliant. The date jumps back to 1985 when you enter Agenda. So don't be alarmed, that's normal - just correct the date afterwards. However, for using Agenda as an activity planner and project manager, that's a bit annoying, since you rarely plan projects in 1985 anymore.

A wireless iPod would be funny. On the other hand, there's a WLAN ban here in the apartment (collectively agreed upon), so while it would be amusing on one hand, it would be pointless on the other.
If Apple would finally teach the iPod Bluetooth, that would be something else - especially for syncing, Bluetooth would be quite practical. Sure, Firewire is faster - but for the initial synchronization or after extensive shopping sprees in the iTMS, you can just plug in the cable. Regular playlist updates and rating updates could easily be handled via Bluetooth.
Anyway. A Bluetooth iPod will probably never exist, just like I'll probably be waiting forever for a Bluetooth digital camera.
