All resistance is futile...

Now that the Gartner Borg has completed assimilation of the META techno-utopians, they're after exterminating the remaining offshoots standing in their way to squeeze more dollars from clients -as would do any Gartner, a natural monopoly: as Analyst Equity reports, Meton is the last casualty.

Thou who have sinned shall be cursed by the Borg wrath, so will your children and their children's....

There seems to be coverage of this in the German papers (like this http://www.computerwoche.de/index.cfm?pageid=254&artid=80261) but nothing in English so far.

Since Gartner is burying the META name, why should they care about Meton's use of a similar sound. Of course, if you have lawyers why not bully a start-up?

Meton is a casualty of sorts, but it's not fatally wounded. I'm sure they will be more careful in selecting a name next time.
