REACT-Tech Enforcement Squad?

Interesting. I came across this earlier today. Tech Police Force."The unit is composed of 30 investigators and prosecutors on loan from local, state and federal agencies in the Bay Area, including the FBI and the Secret Service. These various jurisdictions cover some of the salary costs under their own budgets; the rest of comes from a $2.3-million allotment from the state and Santa Clara County."

Is there one is these in Seattle because Amazon.com, Microsoft, Boeing, and the Navy are here? What about Boeing? Boeing field is so huge it's like a it's own small City. They have there own police force borrowed from King County Airport Police. What next, cameras in our houses? Thought crime? Orwell definitely had it right in 1984...

BPOS and SaaS

What is up with Microsoft and BPOS? (Business Productivity Online Suite)
It seems it's selling relatively well. Information Week last week had some great articles
about it. As well SaaS seems to have everyone running to the the Cloud Computing bandwagon, which seems inevitable. Ever since Amazon came up with their Cloud offering others have been following suit. Microsoft' s Azure computing platform seems to offer quite a bit.
