The server moving will likely start Thursday night and will hopefully be completed that night. It will take a bit for the DNS to filter through and such, but those are minor problems.
Microsoft understands services and the internet. Microsoft only understands vendor lock-in. MS should be concerned with providing a secure, reliable product that is cheaper than its competitors. Whoops, they failed on all three.

Clay gives carbon nanotubes.

While acknowledging that "services" is a pretty broad term, Ozzie pointed to a wide range of opportunities for the company, from hosting software for small businesses that don't want the complexity of managing a server, to adding specialized products for large businesses that already have scores of servers.

"Phased array" transmitters use interference effects among the multiple antennas to reinforce the electromagnetic waves going in some directions and to cancel them out in others. This allows the direction of the beam of radiation to be changed almost instantaneously. A phased array can even send beams in several directions at once. The military uses phased arrays for missile-tracking radar.

NaturalNano says that by filling Halloysite tubes with copper and then mixing the tubes into a polymer, a manufacturer could make an electrically conductive plastic. If filled with fungicides, the Halloysite particles--which consist of aluminum, oxygen, silicon and hydrogen--could be swirled into paint to make it more resistant to mildew and mold. Time-released coatings could also be added to make all-day deodorant.
