Getting from here to there, reliably
From point A to point B, sometimes through point C and oftentimes on to D or E, more than 200,000 passengers a day count on ANA to get them to their destinations on time.
So, through more than 800 flights per day, ANA's Flight Management System sees to it, that, as Japan's leading airline in on-time performance, ANA continues to remain on time.
And behind this benchmark of punctuality, working away millisecond by millisecond, is HP technology. Find out more.

Sun To Boost UltraSparc-IV Clock Speeds in Early February
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The word on the street is that Sun Microsystems is getting ready to boost the clock speed on the dual-core "Jaguar" UltraSparc-IV processors that it uses in its Sun Fire line of Unix servers. The kicker to the Jaguar chips, which is expected to be announced at Sun's Network Computing product launch on February 1, is meant to tide over Sparc shops until the "Panther" dual-core UltraSparc-IV+ chips are announced sometime in the middle of 2005, which usually means July or maybe even August in the computer biz.

Analysts Criticize Sun Ahead of Financials This Week
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Sun Microsystems is in the middle of remaking itself as it faces a wildly different market than the one the company was engineered to tackle during the dot-com era. This we all know. But Wall Street and customers do not always exhibit patience with IT vendors. The top brass at Sun have talked so much about how they are turning the company around that it is hard to remember sometimes that Sun is still largely testing out its new-fangled ideas and is still basically a Unix server and operating system company with broader aspirations.
