The challenge with this analysis is that it only focuses on a small component of the overall economy. The apple iPod is a great example of this, and areas where the US can develop and market these high tech items we can assemble them oversees as ultimately we will make the profit back here in the US. The challenge is that there are many elements of the economy that based soley on manufacturing and this is an area where China has an advantage. Also many companies that were historically american have been purchased by oversees holdings. Overall if you look at the flow of money for most parts of the US economy the money ends up in other countries. Ultimately to have a healthy economy you need both high tech and manufacturing balanced appropriately so your companies are not too dependent on other countries. This is where the US suffers the greatest

Is the creation of cyber-security institutes a good thing, or are they attempts to draw more grant money for Universities?"

Submission + - Oracle App Express adds PDF and Microsoft Access m

Rob writes: Oracle's next version of its Application Express tool is adding several features to entice users of Microsoft Access to consider migrating. They include a new ability to output to PDF, to make it easier to print and distribute reports; a revamped charting engine that takes advantage of the Adobe Flash run time to make cleaner tables and graphs; and a new Microsoft Access migration tool. The tool is designed to make it easy to develop fairly rudimentary, data-driven web applications where you need to grab data from an Oracle database. It's aimed especially at Microsoft developers to consider Oracle as the next step up from Access, when concerns such as auditability cause you to reconsider whether to continue using Microsoft's entry level database.
