How often does one common cause unite such disparate technology giants as Cisco, Intel, HP, eBay, Sun and Adobe?

As Stephen Jordan, executive director of the Center for Corporate Citizenship, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told the Washington Post at the weekend: "This is the most rapid outpouring of corporate help I've ever seen."
SYS-CON Media's various news desks have been bringing immediate word of the various initiatives from the companies behind the world's Internet technologies (what we refer to as i-Technology) the moment they are announced. Here is a sampling of the Valley's responses to the disaster:
