The Silverado Rules for Open Source Success
,----[ Quote ]
| With the success of companies like MySQL, JBoss, Cygnus and SleepyCat, open
| source software has introduced major changes to the way corporate IT adopts
| new technology. Yet open source business practices have a long way to go
| before the industry as a whole is fully embraced by CIOs.
|
| In particular, I believe that the patchwork quilt of licenses and business
| practices among open-source vendors is a major barrier to enterprise adoption
| of open source. Vendor standardization on a simple and commercially
| attractive business model will help drive broad corporate acceptance of open
| source software.

Mozilla raises Firefox security bar
,----[ Quote ]
| Officially dubbed Malware Protection, the tool warns users when they steer
| Firefox to sites that are known to install viruses, spyware, Trojan horses
| and other malicious code. When a user tries to reach a site on the banned
| list, a large red warning appears in lieu of the page. The warning says that
| the intended destination, "has been reported as an attack site and has been
| blocked based on your security preferences." A button labeled "Get me out of
| here!" returns Firefox to the browser's home page.
