Microsoft Word and Outlook as Ubiquitous


Now Microsoft Word and Outlook are considered "ubiquitous" according to an article by Todd Bishop in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Reporter entitled "Sun touts its own seamless computing: CEO takes jabs at Microsoft in lauding compatibility of his alternative system"


As noted here :

"Microsoft's Windows operating system for desktop PCs brought in nearly $10.4 billion in revenue in the company's most recent fiscal year, with more than 90 percent of the market. Its Office productivity suite includes such ubiquitous programs as Microsoft Word and Outlook."[emphasis added]

Man vs. Computer: Still a Match (washingtonpost.com) - Charles Krauthammer


Charles Krauthammer is my favorite political columnist - the man has a practical head on his shoulders.

He usually writes about politics, but for his November 21, 2003 article, he wrote about chess at Man vs. Computer: Still a Match (washingtonpost.com).

The article presents an interesting view on the ubiquitous world of digital machines - showing their advantages - and - limitations.

Forbes.com: All Eyes on Google


There it is again - Internet "ubiquity".

At Forbes.com: All Eyes on Google it is written:

"But Google has become much more than merely a search service. It is a daily tool and main entry point for millions of users, stealing the spotlight from the browser (Explorer or whatever) and Internet portals like Yahoo. It is a labor of love for programmers, who have built applications off of Google and posted them like trophies on the Web. One does a 'smackdown,' comparing the Internet ubiquity of two words ('love' beats 'money,' but not by much); another creates poems (see slideshow)."

Ubiquitous Pundit - The Ubiquitous Omnipresence


NCES defines "ubiquitous" as

Existing or being everywhere, or in all places, at the same time; omnipresent.

The concept of "ubiquitous computing" is seen as the next stage in computing, where anyone can access from anywhere.

The concept of ubiquitous computing was first advocated by Mark Weiser.

UbiComp 2003, the Fifth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing, was held October 12-15, 2003 in Seattle, Washington.

There are also journals on the topic:
Personal and Ubiquitious Computing
IEEE Pervasive Computing

In the mobile world these are known as "always on/everywhere communications".
