Everybody knows the sequel is rarely as good as the original. Why, if one considers sports movies alone, "Caddyshack II," "Rocky V," and, of course, "The Bad News Bears Go To Japan," were particularly fouled-up followups.

The sequel to &quot;Bridget Jones&#39;s Diary&quot; is beyond reasonable. It&#39;s downright outrageous - and not always in a fabulous way.

There&#39;s a balance to making a sequel to a successful video or computer game. The developer, at the very least, is expected to match the quality of the first game.

Finally, the title of the much awaited sequel to Ram Gopal VarmaÂs Sarkar is out. It is not Sarkar 2 or Sarkar

I'm a big fan of Richard Stallman and his work â even though, the first time I interviewed him, he proceeded to criticise my questions before answering them, not a journalistic experience I'd had before.  Without his vision and sheer bloody-mindedness in the face of indifference and outright hostility, we would not have the vast array of free software we enjoy today.

The current story-line is NOT autobiographical. Angela and I will be celebrating 12 years of marital bliss in Feb and are in no danger of divorce. If anything, the fact that I&#8217;ve never really been touched by divorce, even in my extended family, makes me wholly unqualified to write this arc. So I&#8217;m trudging through to [...]

Despite Microsoft&#39;s many woes, the honchos got a bump this year. Considering the company&#39;s outlook, their next may be a ways off.

They need help Comment Ashlee, I read you piece (NY Times bans Microsoft analysts from Microsoft stories) over the weekend and man did you hit a chord with me. I sweat this stuff, Iâm accused quite often of being a Microsoft shill and, as you point out, there is actually a cottage industry that has cropped up making that accusation to keep me from saying anything negative about OSS (open source software) or Apple. Since Iâve been doing the analyst thing for well over a decade, I think most journalists know I answer questions as honestly as I can and, while I do make mistakes, they are honest ones.â¦

I messed up in my Nov. 21 column, "Weak Case Against Homework," and failed to include comments from the authors of one of the books I was criticizing. I am way overdue for an appointment with the ophthalmologist, so my failing eyes missed their e-mail, waiting patiently in my inbox between a rant...
