Since shampooing and regular conditioning is important for cleansing the dirt and oily accumulations, rinsing your hair with the Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo on a regular basis can act wonder on your hair by converting any type of lifeless and frizzy hair into smooth, silky and shiny that is free of damage. Some dealers carry this oil products that are scented, making the experience more pleasurable and even therapeutic. It can smooth away fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet, fade age spots and any other imperfections.

I have a belief in Fate -- Greek Fate. Zuckerberg paid off the twins some millions to get billions. That's their fate. Zuckerberg will be a rich nobody some years in the future. Robert X (what does X mean) was fated to be Mercury -- the messenger!

Regarding that permanent sponsorship thing... have you asked IBM?

Good luck out there, wherever that might turn out to be. In the "old days" when the printed Infoworld came around the office routing chain, you column was the first thing I read. I'm afraid I drifted away when you went to the internet, but I still come back now and then to see what I've missed. Usually that ends up chewing up the entire day.

I don't remember the first time I read your column. Maybe it was in the early 1990s, maybe in the mid 1990s - but it was a grand and great discovery. I found out about Google before anyone else when you first wrote about it. I told it to someone I worked with, and thought I had gone off the deep end. You are how I learn about, and keep up with technology. Your thinking out side the box about the industry, and the effect of collateral events, helps reinforce the lesson and spawn creativity on my own thinking. You said last winter that if you hung up your key board, you would recommend some other new technology pundits. Without them, I will be overwhelmed. Kindest regards, and thank you.

I'll also 'fess up to the "back of Infoworld" thing. Best wishes.

As a 40+ year IT vet who started reading you in (as a previous poster called it) the Dead Tree version of InfoWorld, I want to thank you for all you've given me. Even when you have been wrong, or just when I disagreed with you (not always the same thing), you made me consider my position and generally think about things. When you converted to blogging I was initially against the change, but I find the comments generally literate and thoughtful. Worth reading, in other words. And as a pilot since the FAA stood for the Federal Administration =Agency= (and they really were out to help you) I appreciate your occasional forays outside IT. So good luck in what you do next. And a selfish vote that it involves publicly available news and opinion. I suspect that at this point, you couldn't avoid making it so.

Thank you for what you have done and what you will do. It has meaning and is important. In my experience, dinosaurs get paid the most because the newbies don't understand why the original code, written for a mainframe, doesn't conform to their beliefs.Dinosaurs united.
