Take Your Web Apps Out of the Browser with Mozilla's Prism
,----[ Quote ]
| Fresh out of the Mozilla Labs oven this week is a beta version of Prism, a
| new incarnation of WebRunner that integrates Web applications with the
| desktop. The idea behind Prism starts with from the premise that as more
| people move their computing activities to the cloud, users will become
| increasingly dependent on Web apps designed to replace locally-based email,
| calendaring, and word processing.
|
| The problem is, running these types of apps in a Web browser adds clutter and
| unecessary steps to what should be a straightforward user experience. Mozilla
| wants to eliminate that particular pain point and streamline the way we use
| Web-based applications.

Murphy's Law: Do Open-Source Social Networks Matter?
,----[ Quote ]
| So what's the takeaway? When open-source is just a vision or a programming
| goal, it can achieve its goals regardless of the size of the community that
| grows around it. But when you throw social networking into the mix, open
| source development gets hit with a wrench. While a number of interesting
| open alternatives to common, proprietary social networking platforms exist
| today, they are never going to be able to carry the kind of clout of the big
| social networks. An open-source social network has to be the game-changing
| application like Twitter was to the normal Web back in 2006 -- you can't just
| copy the best and expect to find much success.

Open source manages the Internet
,----[ Quote ]
| We've known for years that upwards of 70% of web sites use Apache to
| power their sites. We also know that much of MySQL's thriving business
| comes from "Web 2.0" companies - the web runs MySQL (and a heck of a loto
| f Linux). What has been less clear is how much of the web that we see
| is managed by open source web content management systems.
