| Lucent buys Mosaix
Lucent Technologies has bought Mosaix, a provider of workflow software, in an all-stock deal worth $145m. The telecoms equipment giant said the acquisition will flesh out its call centre product portfolio with customer relationship management (CRM) technology. CRM involves the use of technologies such as datawarehousing and computer telephony integration (CTI) by companies which wish to strengthen their ties with their customers. Susen Sarkar, a senior analyst at the Yankee Group, said: "This type of deal is important. The call centre customer is increasingly looking for a complete solution rather than putting together equipment from several different vendors." Lucent said the deal will enable users to keep their customers "coming back again and again - whether through the door, the mail, the phone, the fax or the Web".

Gadgets Greenpeace Launches Campaign Against "Toxic" Gaming Consoles
The Anti-Greenpeace sentiment on this forum is really hurting. People are demanding more objectivity yet all they claim is completely subjective... attention-seeking lazy environmentalists... you'd wonder whenever somebody doesn't come from Los Alamos or have supercool weapons research technology done, some think he can't add 1 and 1.Actually Greenpeace isn't anti-technology or anti-growth or all that people like to underestimate. Some may remember that it was Greenpeace who developed the first CFC-free fridge (Greenfreeze) and proved what everyone claimed was impossible.I think having greener electronic products isn't a bad thing and neither is making a case for it. Your claim about deciding based on looking at the FAQ is childish. Normally Greenpeace sends out questionnaires and tries to get answers where it demands proves of and then publishes the results.
