Torvalds vents about religious extremism
,----[ Quote ]
| I remember more than a few myself. Once I
| wrote an analysis that carried the
| headline, âIs Linus Killing Linux?â
|
| It was hyperbole, of course, and designed
| to provoke interest in a story that
| examined who or what might become the
| controlling âmanagerâ of the Linux kernel â
| or which commercial interest might try to
| hijack the code. [This was before the SCO
| lawsuit.]

What I like about the iPad
,----[ Quote ]
| Over at ZDnet, Dana Blankenhorn tries to
| concoct some scenario where Google opening
| up a codec turns into an antitrust
| violation. Iâm not shocked (considering the
| source), but there it is.

My Interview with Devil Mountainâs Craig Barth
,----[ Quote ]
| If thereâs one thing to take away from the
| Ars / ZDNet / xpnet / WinSuperSite
| tardfight, itâs donât go latching on to
| someone just because it appears they
| support your position.
|
| A postscript
|
| Also, is it just me or does ZDNet have the
| most idiotic tech community on the
| internet? Seriously, if youâre feeling
| smart and motivated read the comments there
| â I guarantee youâll come out the other end
| drooling and suicidal. I think we can
| derive a formula that the quality of
| comments are proportional to the quality of
| the original content.

Dear Matt Asay,
,----[ Quote ]
| Part of your role appears to be figuring
| out how to help a Free Software company
| make money (monetise is not a great word).
| We donât think âOpen Coreâ is the right
| way. That might work for a proprietary
| company that just wants to leverage a
| community to do free marketing for them. We
| would like Canonical to be a Free Software
| company â and for it to make money.

Is MS Preening in Public Posts?
,----[ Quote ]
| The author of the email, posted on ZDNet in a Talkback forum on the Microsoft
| antitrust trial, claimed her name was Michelle Bradley and that she
| had "retired" from Microsoft last week.
|
| "A verbal memo [no email allowed] was passed around the MS campus encouraging
| MS employee's to post to ZDNet articles like this one," the email said.
|
| "The theme is 'Microsoft is responsible for all good things in computerdom.'
| The government has no right to prevent MS from doing anything. Period.
| The 'memo' suggests we use fictional names and state and to identify
| ourselves as students," the author claimed.
