Jotting on parsers for SGML-family document languages: SGML, HTML, XML #5 - ...

By Rick Jelliffe

By Chris Josephes

It hasn't been a good week for managed service providers. Everyone knows about the T-Mobile Sidekick fiasco, and a few astute readers are aware of the problems encountered by Air New Zealand.

By Sara Peyton

Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media, didn't mince words as he addressed the crowd this morning at Web 2.0 Expo in New York City. As CNET reported today, he said: "You have to conclude, if you look at the focus of a lot of what you call 'Web 2.0,' the relentless focus on advertising-based consumer models, lightweight applications, we may be living in somewhat of a bubble, and I'm not talking about an investment bubble.
