For English learners perhaps, but not for language professionals

This dictionary may be useful for non-native speakers of English with limited vocabulary, but not for someone like myself - a copywriter looking for clear, concise explanations of technical terms. Many important concepts and abbreviations are missing (middleware, system availability, app, SLA). In many cases, this may be a sign of its age (RFID, SOA, VISTA). It is also bloated with everyday or barely relevant terms (found on one page randomly: intrinsic, invisible, invite, involve, ionosphere). And definitions often leave a lot to be desired (the extremely important design concept of "redundancy", for example, is poorly explained, and dubbed a "process").
