The Register:“Microsoft is facing another class action complaint ‘alleging a pattern and practice
of race and sex discrimination against African Americans and female salaried
employees in violation of the federal civil rights laws.’

And its been filed by OJ Simpson’s defender Johnnie Cochran together with
another major legal firm Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, P.L.L.C. Cochran works
for Cochran, Cherry, Givens, and Smith, P.C.”

The Register: “Japan’s Dai Nippon Printing has come up with a low cost, quick way to make
organic electroluminescent (OEL) flat panel displays.

Instead of glass, the printing firm uses plastic film, according to a Reuter’s report.”

Patrick Mullen writes: “The Duke of URL has just posted a review on an IDE RAID machine by Pogo Linux, the Velocity. The review compares the IDE RAID setup to a single SCSI and IDE drive, benchmarks sevral systems on the kernel compilation, XHDBench, and Quake III Arena, as well as much more.”

ZDNET.co.uk: “NASA has successfully fired up the first SGI Origin 3800
supercomputer with a single operating system spanning all 512
processors, according to SGI….the Intel systems will run on Linux.”

The Register: “Last year’s winner IBM drops to fifth place because of its pensions swindle. Other
high-ranking IT companies listed include Sun Microsystems (6th), Intel (18th),
Cisco (19th), Honeywell (30th), Apple (32nd), AT&T (34th), CA 39th, Texas
Instruments 41st and Dell 42nd.”

From ZDNET: “Microsoft must abandon its efforts. Most of the problems we have with our
computers are the result of intra-platform incompatibilities. In the good old days, people could
work around a problem and solve it, but not with Microsoft’s never-ending upgrades. Users
encounter any number of time-consuming problems as they try to get a system up and running.
This is the result of recompiling the same code over and over.”

RED HAT AND GRAMMAR ENGINE UNVEIL EMBEDDED DEVELOPMENT
TOOL RUNNING OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

PromICE.net?s Web Server Capabilities and Red Hat?s Open Source Solution Enables
Network-Based Access to Remote Target Development Hardware

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--April 4, 2001--Red Hat, Inc.
(Nasdaq:RHAT), the leader in developing, deploying and managing open source
solutions, today announced that Grammar Engine, Inc.?s PromICE.net, a memory
emulator that allows embedded developers to collaboratively build applications over the
Internet, runs on uClinux operating system technology that was implemented by Red Hat.
PromICE.net, based on the NetSilicon processor, is an embedded development tool that
runs open source software. Its Web server capabilities enable embedded developers to put
their target on the Internet and allow co-workers to access it from anywhere in the world
for development of applications.

"The incorporation of Red Hat Linux into the memory emulator represents a
breakthrough for embedded developers who want to avoid the limitations imposed by
proprietary software in their development environment," said Michael Tiemann, CTO of
Red Hat. "This is an opportunity for developers to use Linux to add features, options and
programs to PromICE.net that are needed for their individual development environments
without experiencing the shortcomings of the proprietary model."

"Grammar Engine has chosen to work with Red Hat and use uClinux and support GPL
software because of the tremendous opportunities that this offers to embedded
developers," said Arvind Rana, CTO of Grammar Engine Inc. "Since our customers are
embedded software developers, we understand that they want ultimate control over their
development tools. Access to open source code provides us the opportunity to co-
develop, with each of our customers, the exact tool they need."
