Both Red Hat and Oracle had excellent quarters, but Oracle’s was apparently not “excellent” enough for Wall Street’s tastes. Its shares and the market went south this week on fears that technology spending is in decline.

In addition, Wall Street apparently didn’t notice that Red Hat actually raised its fiscal year 2009 guidance

I hate to keep beating this drum, but I read Stephen O’Grady’s report on Brad Smith’s keynote at the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) and thought it was worth highlighting. Stephen isn’t prone to exaggeration or zealotry. So when he writes these words, it’s worth considering:

Microsoft has a standing annual legal bill, we’re told, of ~$100 million dollars to defend itself from patent related litigation. Unless the licensing revenue stream easily eclipses that amount, why is the current system worth defending? Why does Microsoft insist on speaking out in defense of a mechanism that appears, if anything, to negatively impact its shareholders? It seems like a flawed equation.

I’ve had my iPhone for a week now and am amazed by how much it has changed the way I use a mobile device. My Blackberry was all work: I used it for email and to read stories on Arsenal. (Yes, that counts as work these days.) The iPhone is much different. There’s so much to do with it. I find that I use it far more, but for less drudgery and more fun.

A bit like how I use my Mac.

I thought I’d compile a list of the five ideal things about the iPhone, and the five worst. It’s not a perfect device by any means. It’s interesting to see that some of the iPhone’s greatest strengths pave the way for its greatest weaknesses.

But first, the good:

  1. The typing on the iPhone is lightning fast. I never would have guessed this, but it’s true. I was pretty fast on my Blackberry 8700 and then 8800, but I’m at least 25 percent faster on the iPhone. I worried about the lack of tactile feedback, but the iPhone gives visual feedback (the key you’re about to hit enlarges to meet your finger) which is arguably better. In addition, it’s very, very smart about correcting misspellings. Often I’ll keep typing, even when I know I made a mistake, because I know the iPhone’s software will correct my mistake for me. It usually does.
