Bill Gates chucks cash at climate cooling cloud creator

Slight error here I think

Rik, I think you mean "reflect" instead of "absorb" at the end of the first sentence.

Google tries to quietly trample on Apple's toes

Sat nav is not a "killer app" why?

Though only available in the US at the moment surely FREE car type sat nav is at least one "killer app", throw in the use of "street view" in this app and I'm very keen indeed...

OpenOffice 3.1 ready to lick Microsoft's suite?

Two things that stop me putting it into clients...

Export to PDF does not support OpenType fonts with Postscript outlines.

Pasting into an HTML editing application, Dream Weaver or FrontPage, pastes in an extra HTML and BODY tag.

Both these things lead to - support calls - "Steve, why does this look different" and both are faults that seem always to have been there. My small band of users are not interested in "work a rounds" or for that matter computers, things should just work, they don't.

I like OO, I dont like client calls, there is no competition!
