MySQL AB
It’s been in the news for a few days: two of the MySQL execs, Martin Mickos and Monty Widenus, are leaving Sun Microsystems, Sun having bought and absorbed MySQL AB.

Steve Jobs
He's getting thinner by the hour. He's wasting away in front of our very eyes. No amount of meditation, eating plankton and flying in his private Lear Jet will help him now.
Goodbye your Steveness and thank you.
Incorrect usage of the phrase "credit crunch"
Hopefully it won't take many more bitchslappings before certain journalists realise "credit crunch" is not synonymous with "recession" and people with multimillions in the bank do not either buy that new designer dress on credit or have problems getting credit if they want to use it.
