My sister’s friend and colleague Osman Altan was interviewed by the Princeton Packet about his experience fleeing from 73rd floor of the north tower Tuesday morning … I think Osman’s words become even more vivid and disturbing if you view these pictures after you read the article.

New tools ease portal creation

this sounds a lot like Web Parts … “OnePage Inc. and Enfish Corp. each released new software to enable corporate users to organize corporate information in portals … OnePage’s Content Connect Studio doesn’t replace portal frameworks from other companies; it augments them with the capability to create, manage and integrate portlets (pieces of code that capture and embed data) into many enterprise portal platforms”

Excite@Home … “announced today that it has received formal notification
from Cox and Comcast that they will exercise their rights under their
existing distribution agreements with the company to terminate those
agreements effective June 4, 2002. The company is continuing to engage in
discussions with Cox and Comcast concerning alternative arrangements for the
continued provision of the company’s broadband Internet service to
subscribers of Cox and Comcast cable systems. However, there can be no
assurance that such discussions will result in such alternative commercial
arrangements.”
