It's FRIDAY!

[IDG Connect]

<FRIDAY January, 19, 2007>

     Each Friday, we present a short list of the hottest whitepapers, webcasts and research available in the IDG Connect IT Knowledge Base. Information you can use to solve problems that crept-up during the week, and to prepare for the challenges you'll face in the days ahead. We also provide links to news stories you might have missed, plus facts, quotes and other forms of brain-candy. (Hint: The fun stuff is near the bottom, so don't forget to scroll.) Have a great weekend!

On this day in 2038, the UNIX timestamp will break, and we'll party like it's 1970, or maybe 1901, depending on your particular implementation. In 1983, Steve Jobs announced the Apple Lisa. In 1968, Indiria Gandhi was elected Prime Minister of India. In 1953, Lucy gave birth to little Ricky on "I Love Lucy". Happy Birthday Dolly Parton (1946), Janis Joplin (1943), Minnesota Fats (1913), Edgar Allan Poe (1809), and James Watt (1736). RIP Wilson Pickett (d.2006).
