The headline of this article caught my eye. The contents even more so. I've been using Retrospect for 12 years now as a backup solution for my Macs (and PCs), and I've worked with and spoken with the guys at Dantz, as it once was, a number of times. Once in possible preparation for a backup on enterprise backup using the software. The lack of support, and more importantly on going releases, on the Mac platform is something of a concern. Retrospect had more or less got the backup, and particularly enterprise backup, market cornered.

I need a battery for my mobile phone and needless to say my first port of call was eBay. There are many different options, but fundamentally most seem a lot cheaper than they should be. Some are as low as $10, but the real price is closer to $60.

What's the difference?

Well, unless you are very very lucky, the cheaper battery wont be genuine (no matter what the seller says), and probably wont charge or last more than a couple of hours. I know this from bitter experience - twice (once with a battery for the camera, the other for my phone).

I should know better of course, but when you see a good bargain, we are almost conditioned to leap at the opportunity.

I'm in the middle of writing some articles at the moment on a technology called VoiceXML.

I've only recently become aware of VoiceXML, but I have to admit that I am very impressed by what I've seen so far, not only in terms of the standard itself, but also the tools that fit round it.

In a nutshell, VoiceXML enables you to create voice-based interfaces to applications and systems, with a voice browser converting your VoiceXML definition into speech, a voice recognition (or keypad recognition) system accepts responses and can then make decisions about what to do next, including loading over VoiceXML or providing simple responses.
