Anyone else see this notice today? The site has been down before, but not recently. It’s now back on the web, fortunately, so I have the ability to get my ticket.

Anyone know why it went down?

If there’s a recession on, you would hardly guess it from the earnings reports from Microsoft, Google, and IBM. In terms of revenue, Microsoft beat Wall Street expectations with an 18-percent rise to $15.64 billion over Q2 2007. Yet the Street pummeled Microsoft’s stock by 5 percent due to lowered guidance for the year and lower-than-expected profits, hinting at problems in the company’s newer businesses like on the web and XBox.

In sum, Microsoft’s old businesses (Windows was up 15 percent, Tools, etc.) are thriving, but it can’t seem to get a foothold in the new world, with its on the internet services business scraping to a $488 million loss. Its Office business also grew two percentage points slower than expected (14 instead of 16-percent growth), but this is probably a momentary blip compared to the continued costliness of trying to break onto the internet in a meaningful way and owning the family room with the XBox.

Meanwhile, Massive Boring Blue (IBM) boosted its profits by 22 percent over 2007 and revenue by 13 percent, bolstered by IBM’s growth in emerging markets.

Revenue in the Americas, IBM’s biggest market, rose 8 percent, or 6 percent adjusting for the impact of the weak dollar. Sales in its Europe and Middle Eastern sales region grew 20 percent, while sales in Asia climbed 16 percent. The company, like other tech giants, has said it anticipates overseas strength to compensate for a weak U.S. economy.

IBM is the trusted grandfather figure in an iffy economy, a vendor that might be overpriced but is also very safe.

And Google?

Leave it to Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux kernel, to speak his mind. While many point to Linux as better to Windows as offering better security, Torvalds doesn’t want anyone to make a fetish of security, including the OpenBSD people to whom he addresses this classic missive:

…[O]ne reason I refuse to bother with the whole security circus is that I think it glorifies - and thus encourages - the wrong behavior.

It makes “heroes” out of security people, as if the people who don’t just fix normal bugs aren’t as important.
