The turkeyist of turkeys
Backspinner Mark Gibbs this week reveals the winner of his Thanksgiving Golden Turkey Award.

CompUSA? Microsoft? Sun? The SCO Group? Find out now.

Ray Ozzie on Lotus Notes’ 15th birthday
Lotus Notes turns 15 Tuesday, so we went to creator Ray Ozzie to get the full story on Notes’ birth. He talked about what the developers got right and what they missed, about Lotus’ eventual absorption into IBM, and how the whole experience influences what he’s working on today at Groove Networks. It’s a candid interview in Ozzie’s own words – and the full version is available online only.
