subject: interesting metadata re itanium

From: Adam Flinton 

 From a reg article:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/30890.html

I got to:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130464155/qid=1054067321/sr=8-1/
ref=sr_8_1/104-2195558-7898368?v=glance&s=books&n=507846


It's a book called:

"Itanium Rising: Breaking Through Moore's Second Law of Computing Power"

So far no real interest however thanks to Amazon's metadata re sales of the
book we get:

"Great Buy

Buy this book with The Business and Economics of Linux and Open Source by
Martin Fink today! "

Hummm this must have been based on something & then:

"Customers who bought this book also bought:

     * Backfire: Carly Fiorina's High-Stakes Battle for the Soul of
Hewlett-Packard by Peter Burrows (Author) (Hardcover)
     * Perfect Enough: Carly Fiorina and the Reinvention of
Hewlett-Packard by George Anders (Hardcover)
     * IA-64 Linux Kernel: Design and Implementation by David Mosberger,
et al (Hardcover)
     * Open Source: The Unauthorized White Papers by Donald K. Rosenberg
(Author) (Paperback)
     * Building Linux Virtual Private Networks by Oleg Kolesnikov, Brian
Hatch (Paperback) "

I would hazard a guess that people looking at this book are either/&/or:

A) HP butt kissers looking to climb the greasy pole of success  B)
Linux developers/people looking to develop on Linux

My how the world has changed....
