Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives BTL podcast: Macbook Air, BEA, MySQL, SAP and more…. Posted in: General Open Source Personal Technology Software Infrastructure Web Technology Between the Lines podcast Apple SaaS SAP Yahoo Utility computing Oracle Salesforce.com Sun ERP MySQL It's been a busy few days highlighted by Macworld and activity on the merger & acquisition front. This week on the Between the Lines podcast, Larry and I give our impressions on the latest Macworld revelations by Steve Jobs. It was clear that Jobs took great pride in the new MacBook Air, which he declared the thinnest notebook computer in the world, but who is the target customer? We also discuss the acquisition of BEA by Oracle (not surprising), Sun's $1 billion payout for MySQL (surprising but in line with Sun's focus on open source and infrastructure), and SAP's addition of Business Objects (good move).
Pig Day: Students get up close with animal organs
Before the study is complete, students have the opportunity to meet a heart transplant recipient. Elyssa Jacobs, a freshman at Rockwall-Heath High School, details how an organ donor saved her life 14 years ago along with her mother, Edie."We ask the students if they could save a life, would they," Edie said. "We want them to learn the facts about organ donation."Elyssa is a donor program success story. She was on the donor list for just a week before receiving her transplant, but her doctors said she wouldn't have lasted two more days without the transplant."I caught a disease and it caused my body to attack my heart," she said. "It was killing the muscle in my heart."Edie indicates her daughter was lucky. She says 7,000 people are on the organ donor list in Texas and each day 17 of those on the list will die because organs are not available.
Shaw Announces First Quarter Results With Solid Start in 2008
The Company felt it was an opportune time to introduce a DRIP, considering that it leads the North American cable industry in dividend yield and currently ranks in the top 30 high-yielding corporations included in the S&P/TSX 300 Index. The DRIP allows holders of Class B Shares and Class A Shares who are residents of Canada to acquire Class B Shares through the automatic reinvestment of cash dividends paid on their respective shareholdings. As Shaw pays dividends on a monthly basis to provide shareholders with enhanced liquidity, the new DRIP further supports our shareholders by offering a convenient alternative to receiving a dividend payment and an attractive way to increase their investment in the Company. The DRIP will be effective for the January 30, 2008 dividend payment. Further details will be released shortly.
