Can Sun Rise on Open Source Storage?
,----[ Quote ]
| At first glance, Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) appears to be having a bit
| of trouble: Big layoffs, a stock that is down 80 percent in the last year,
| and constant rumors about its demise or takeover. A brief look at the overall
| server and storage stats from IDC and Gartner doesn't provide much evidence
| to the contrary, with Sun nowhere in the overall storage stats, and lagging
| further behind Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) in fourth place on the server side.

Fact Vs. Friction: Picking The Right Open-Source Office Suite
,----[ Quote ]
| OxygenOffice bundles OOo with lots of extras, including a huge clip art and
| photo library, document templates, and additional font support. Like so many
| of the extras bundled with various OpenOffice.org variants (including Sun's
| proprietary StarOffice suite), users can find most of this content elsewhere,
| although it can be more convenient to get it bundled as a complete package.

CES 2009 Open-Source And Otherwise Free Doesn't Adversely Confine
,----[ Quote ]
| For writing blog posts and web articles, I instead relied on OpenOffice v3. I
| was pretty impressed with its features and Word 2000 format compatibility
| (especially considering the price!), though I highly recommend disabling the
| Java runtime environment support (if you don't need it) as a means of
| drastically reducing the application startup time. Web surfing was (as usual)
| the domain of Firefox for OS X, which (as usual) worked well. The
| browser-based blog publishing tool I use doesn't require ActiveX (I
| unfortunately can't say the same thing about many of my publishing company's
| other online utilities) so I was able to directly pull material from
| OpenOffice into Firefox, then publish it from there.
