Missed opportunity

Hey Network World! You missed an opportunity with this article. Instead of breaking a one page piece into 6 pages by paragraph, you could have broken it into one page per sentence! Think of all the extra ad revenue you could generate!! Better yet, one word per page! OMG, someone should get a bonus for that idea. Who gives a rat's a** about user experience, anyway. Advertising, HO!

I think NW spread the one page article over 6 pages to emulate what Gartner does, spread one tiny piece of data on extra thick to make it seem important.

Do those guys do any "real" computing? Have they even watched what a company scientist uses the computer to do? Yes, it's true that the *presentation* layer of computer usage is and should be hardware agnostic, there is till the matter of the *real* computing which still gets done behind the scenes, transparently to the end-user. What cannot be made "agnostic" is the data management, the SQL Server role and the massaging & number crunching on that data and then finally the remassaging for presentation format, once assembled in the current application's required form.

Java et.al. are and should be hardware agnostic BUT they are trivial parts of the whole overall computing experience.

what about just using the page width instead of cluttering up 75% of the screen with whitepapers AND webcasts AND specials AND coming soon AND audio AND newsletters AND ...

or would that make the articles seem to short :-)
