Where is Roger Covey?
Does the name Roger Covey mean anything to you? Probably not. He appears to
have quietly slipped from the public eye. And being the curious sort I am, I'm
wondering where he slipped to.

Firefox struggling vs. IE in enterprises: the (blog) sequel
If writing technology journalism these days in the increasingly rancorous
blogosphere is a bit like posting your profile+pic on an Internet dating site,
then submitting an article to Slashdot.org, especially one that takes a
critical look at a beloved piece of open-source software, is like putting a
picture of your flabbiest, shirtless self on Hot Or Not? - that is, opening
yourself up to attacks of the most petty and personal variety.

The 22-year-old behind Everex CloudBook's Linux OS
A little more than a year ago, David Liu was sitting in a lecture hall at UCLA.
Today, the young native of West Covina (a suburb 30 miles east of Los Angeles)
is heading development of an operating system that is, in its own small way,
throwing down a big challenge to Windows Vista.
