Around the first quarter of 2008 I got interested in comet-enabled applications because of the richness and immediacy they deliver to the increasingly real-time web.

So, IBM makes an obvious & much needed play in the Rules Engine market to acquire ILOG for a cool $340M. Assuming a “satisfactory fairness opinion” is attained, this is going to be a go around mid-September.
