IIS 6 is Tops in Server Survey
Port80 Software develops security and performance tools for Microsoft IIS Servers. It released the results of a recent survey of server usage in Fortune 1000 companies, which states that IIS 6 passed IIS 5 for the first time as the leading web server platform, with a ranking of 36.5 percent. This also puts IIS 6 ahead of the Apache server, at least among Fortune 1000 sites.
Port80's report states that the combined percentage for all versions of the Apache server 24.9 percent, the combined percentage for all versions of IIS (4, 5, 6, and 7) is 55 percent. The latest release, IIS 7, registered just one deployment, for a .10 percentage ranking in the Fortune 1000 survey.
For comparison, the August 2007 Netcraft survey, which looks at server deployments on all net traffic rather than only Fortune 1000 companies, also stated significant gains for IIS. However Apache still ranks as first on the Netcraft report, which shows Apache at ~48 percent and IIS at 38 percent.

Cubicaller Add-in Products
The Cubicaller cubicle door bell gives your workmates a way to announce their presence at your desk. (It also gives the manufacturer a way to announce that it was able to talk you out of $12.) I see the Cubicaller market really taking off after I invent the Cubi-Bag-of-Flaming-Dog-Poo.
