The Bloor Perspective: Microsoft takes the tablet, vertical platforms and ecommerce stats
Comment The tablet is tightly focussed on productivity - far more so than the PC could dream of being. On 7 November 2002 Microsoft and its partners will reveal the much-discussed tablet PC. It is said to include, or at least enable, a whole new generation... [01 Jul 2002]
Forbidden love and Alan Titchmarsh
Comment Most news reports focussed on the fact that Gigabyte was female - the vast majority are male. Nothing sets the heart racing or the loins aflame like the love that cannot or should not be. We find a rich vein of examples in western literature... [09 Mar 2002]
The Bloor Perspective: Pre-pay mobiles, Patch Penguin and Olympic sponsorship

The Bloor Perspective: CNET money troubles, IT board strategies and CA's productivity

The Directors' Cut: David Taylor on... synchronicity and the way to work...

Silicon.com Skills Survey 2000: Train them, pay them, anyway you want them
