In a follow up to a post a post on 4/29/2008, WTH!... Slang and text shortcuts are showing up in school writing assignments... , I found another article which exposes a different side of the argument...
Is language dead or evolving? By Carolyn Y. Johnson
Excerpt:
"A growing body of research shows electronic communications channels like instant messaging have created a kind of semi-speech - language that is between talking and writing. Some say it is evidence of evolution, not of decay.....
Contrary to the view that abbreviations and cute emoticons are at the radical edge of English language, the researchers found that the hybrid of written and spoken language is actually more conservative than speech alone."

The Wall Street Journal reported that One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project is now partnering with Microsoft and their computers will now use the Windows Operating System. As of October, the machines will have a "dual-boot" that can run both Windows and its current operating system, Linux.
"Mr. Negroponte says OLPC's nonproprietary software hindered sales, with some countries reluctant to commit to a non-standard machine that didn't run on Windows."
