Not expecting a rush of IT spending during the last three months of 2004, Hewlett-Packard Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina said this week that IT buyers have become smarter and more discriminating in their IT purchasing than they were just five years ago, and that they now realize that technology spending can sometimes be a "bad thing." Speaking to a room full of financial analysts at the Banc of America Securities Investment Conference in San Francisco, Fiorina dismissed the idea that corporate budget surpluses would drive an IT spending increase in the fourth quarter of 2004.

"For each of the last three years and certainly this year as well, there's been a lot of talk that we're going to see a fourth quarter budget flush," she said. "I just don't see it happening."

iRider's patent-pending features let users browse, work with, and bookmark multiple pages and sites far more quickly and easily than any other browser. It goes far beyond the "tabbed browsing" features provided by many other browsers and is completely generalized for browsing multiple pages and sites.

iRider has been hailed widely in the press for true browsing innovation, by Wired magazine, PC Magazine's John Dvorak, TechTV, The Washington Post, ZDNet and many others.

Increasing dissatisfaction with the ubiquitous Microsoft Internet Explorer is spurring many people to consider alternatives, and iRider has gained many converts who are dissatisfied with the features of other alternative browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera. "It's very gratifying that so many people appreciate the innovations we've implemented in iRider," said Ken Broomfield, CTO, Wymea Bay. "We weren't satisfied with the modest incremental refinements seen in browsers over the last ten years and even in the newest browsers, so we've tried to take browsing to the next level," he said.
