I read on slashdot that IBM is going to release a version of ViaVoice,
their voice recognition software, for Linux.

Does anyone remember last year, when Bill Gates said Linux would never
have advanced features like voice recognition?

ObSlagOffBill: apparently (I've not read the book so I don't know)
in the first edition of his book _The Road Ahead_ Bill failed to
predict the rise of the Internet (this was circa '94 or '95). He had
to publish an updated edition a year later to cover up this anomaly.
His latest book predicts that computers will transform how businesses
operate; duh -- yes of course they will: perhaps I should make a 
prediction that the sun will come up tomorrow, and be hailed as a
prescient industry pundit.
