Tears

Tears of joy and tears of grief
Tears of sadness and relief
Tears for every high and low
Tears that let our feelings show
Private tears and tears we share
Tears that let us know we care
Tears shed with friends in sympathy
The tears we shed in symphony

Tears at weddings births and wakes
Whatever kind of tears it takes
Happy tears and tears of pain
And sometimes tears we can't explain
To ease our hearts God gave us tears
To ease our minds to ease our fears
Tears of loss and tears of hope
God gave us tears to help us cope

Beware the man who will not cry
For he his feelings would deny
The tears we cry show our devotion
So cry your tears to fill an ocean.

Google and Microsoft Face Off

While it's heating up outside across North America, it seems there's nothing hotter than the battle being waged between Google and Microsoft.

In recent weeks, months, and in some respects years, both companies have been forced to defend themselves for their impressive places within the search and software spheres. Now the two are at each other's throats, with Google alleging that Microsoft's Windows Vista is hurting competition and should be adjusted for antitrust purposes. (Source: washingtonpost.com )

So, what's got Google so hot under the collar?

Google is upset over the way Vista runs external desktop programs. The case is similar to the one that emerged in the 1990s between Microsoft and Netscape, once a browser titan (now reduced to the recycle bin by Internet Explorer).

Microsoft trounced Netscape's case in the '90s, and critics believe they'll defeat Google here, too. Software expert Rob Helm argues "Microsoft beat Netscape in part by leveraging its relationship with PC manufacturers...This is a lot subtler." (Source: pcworld.com )

Indeed, Vista doesn't prevent Google Desktop from running, the latter just doesn't run particularly well on the new operating system (OS). That's because most of the built-in search engines (Start Menu, Windows Explorer, etc) are proprietary, and installing secondary software slows down an already demanding OS.

Although Microsoft's policy on this one is expectedly sneaky, it's hardly criminal. Most experts, including Helm, believe Google will fail if it pursues the matter deep into U.S. courts.

In all likelihood, it's the pot calling the kettle black. "Even if Microsoft's software was perfectly written, the way Google interacts with it might be bad, and either company might be at fault," said Helm.

Thoughts to Live By

"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world... "
