Bodies - the exibition

You may have heard about the exibition of human bodies. I visited it last Sunday in Prague and have very miscellaneous feelings. Well, it is very interesting from a medical point of view - you can see every inner detail directly on a dead human body which is conserved (all the liquids are replaced by a silicone rubber). Every bit of entrails from different angles. But, you still know it is a dead body. It is a strange feeling if you imagine it might be your friend's body or yours! I know the people have agreed their bodies will be used for this purpose, but still: do we need to present the human entrails in such a way? Isn't it possilbe to create absolutely authentic models eg. from plastic?
You may ask, why I went there if don't agree. Well, I was curious. But now I see I very much believe our spiritis, souls and bodies are interconnected and we should not split them and exhibit.

BEA rejected Oracle's offer

Oracle's courting to BEA resulted next week in a bid of $6.7 billion in cash. The bid was shortly after rejected by BEA as too low.
Personally, I'm very glad, because portfolio of BEA and Oracle products seems to me quite overlapping and I do not want to see some of the BEA's to be thrown over and replaced by Oracle's (but the other way round, Oracle AS in a garbage, not so bad idea ;). Tell me, who needs four different portals?
P.S. As a BEA contractor, I might be slightly biased ;)
