I have a post on portlets sitting in my drafts folder for over two weeks now - I need a couple of screenshots, so I hope to post it in the next day or two - but here is a news item about Oracle's President Charles Phillips statement about his being unable to "... get the financial analysts to (do market share analysis) anymore." that is likely to get lots of eyeballs (in part because it has been featured as a Google web clip on Gmail and as a "Blog quote of the day" in C|Net - link).
Ok - now I really have to post the portlets post soon, real soon...
