Cloud Computing Brings Cost Of Protein Research Down To Earth

Strobist Designs Real Open Source Remote Trigger
,----[ Quote ]
| When I wrote about the Lumipro Flashgun (yes, the review is coming), a strobe
| designed by actually listening to the people who would buy it, I called
| it ‘open source’ (with the quotes). While, technically, it wasn’t true, it
| certainly followed the spirit of the project.
|
| Now, there is a true open source flash project. Called the SPOT (Strobist
| Project Opensource Trigger), it is a wireless trigger for off-camera flash,
| and by downloading the schematics and GPL-licensed` software, you can build
| it yourself for around $50.

Harvard starts teaching open source
,----[ Quote ]
| As with all Harvard case studies, there is no resolution to the dilemma -
| just the open question (pun intended): To open source or not to open source?
|
| Not open sourcing, as the case study implies, is a losing game. There is
| simply too much interest in open communities created to develop software in
| the image of those communities, and not in any single vendor's image.
