LAMP threatens Microsoft.
Quote
In particular, the company is focused on improving its alternatives to the so-called LAMP stack, the combination of the Linux operating system, Apache Web server, MySQL database, and scripting languages PHP, Perl or Python. Microsoft's anti-LAMP strategy is to heap features into its low-end products and to build a comprehensive set of tools--spanning development to management--in the hopes of making Windows Server more attractive.

Researchers combed through the seven years of virus-laden messages stored in Panda's malware database to determine which celebrities most often had their names involuntarily used in association with malicious spam. Rounding out the top five in Panda's "celebrity virus ranking," were Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and Osama Bin Laden.

However, the popularity of Windows 2000 has remained high, with the venerable operating system still in use in 48 percent of business PCs during the first quarter of 2005, down just four percentage points from the third quarter of 2003.

Mission managers in Darmstadt, Germany, deployed the 20-metre-long boom on 14 June at 1130 GMT. After a series of manoeuvres designed to warm the boom evenly in sunshine, the spacecraft reoriented itself towards Earth about two hours later and began beaming data to mission control.
Mars rovers hit 1000 Martian Days.
Quote
On June 9, Opportunity hit 490 sols and Spirit attained 510 sols since their independent landings in January 2004. Reaching 1,000 sols “is a remarkable accomplishment,” said Steve Squyres, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) project at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He tipped his hat to friends, colleagues and comrades, engineer and scientist alike, on the MER uplink team.
