Songbird now in convenient Philips hardware form
,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird, the open source media player, is now
| being embedded in Philipsâ GoGear line.
|
| This is a win-win.
|
| [...]
|
| This is the way open source is supposed to
| work. Itâs supposed to connect with the
| market. If you donât want your hands stained
| with filthy lucre youâre FOSS, not open
| source.

What rankles in open source buy-outs
,----[ Quote ]
| Legally, the analysts telling mySQLâs
| community to shut up are saying, yes, it
| could. And you couldnât say a thing about it.
| Thatâs just capitalism.
|
| It may be, just as Tom Sawyerâs game to get
| his friends to whitewash Aunt Pollyâs fence
| was capitalism. But when Mark Twain wrote that
| his sympathies werenât really with Tom. He was
| satirizing capitalism itself, and telling
| young readers to be wary of its glib promises.

Should open source hate Apple?

| Microsoft did not really change its tune after the court case wound down.
|
| * Microsoft subsidizes the channel so every PC in the store runs Windows,
| even netbooks where thatâs more trouble than itâs worth.
| * Sharepoint is designed specifically to extend its monopoly.
| * Remember the OOXML standards battle, where Microsoft corrupted the
| standards process itself to maintain control of the applications market?
| * The Novell deal, in which Linux vendors admit that 2+2=5 so Microsoft
| wonât assert non-existent patent claims against them, still gets me mad
| every time I think about it.
