iPhone/iPod Linux Library Hits Version 1.0
,----[ Quote ]
| While Apple provides support for the iPod
| and iPhones on Mac OS X (of course) and
| even Windows, complete with iTunes support,
| they provide no such love for those wishing
| to use their gadgets on Linux. This has led
| the Linux community to reverse-engineering
| Apple's USB protocol for the iPod/iPhone
| devices, developing different hacks, and in
| some cases even needing to "jail break" the
| product in order to use it fully under
| Linux. There's a few different projects
| around that seek to implement iPhone/iPod
| support on Linux, but one of them that
| takes an entirely free software approach
| and does not depend upon any DRM or
| proprietary libraries is libimobiledevice.
| This week the libimobiledeviceproject is
| celebrating their version 1.0 release after
| being in development for nearly three
| years.

ANGLE wined3d in reverse
,----[ Quote ]
| Were happy to announce a new open source
| project called Almost Native Graphics Layer
| Engine, or ANGLE for short. The goal of
| ANGLE is to layer WebGLs subset of the
| OpenGL ES 2.0 API over DirectX 9.0c API
| calls. Were open-sourcing ANGLE under the
| BSD license as an early work-in-progress,
| but when complete, it will enable browsers
| like Google Chrome to run WebGL content on
| Windows computers without having to rely on
| OpenGL drivers.

Emulation of windows sucks on Linux.
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been following the WINE project for
| quite a few years. These guys are doing an
| incredibly hard job in trying to keep up
| with a moving target and basically re-
| writing an operating system to run natively
| on top of another operating system.
|
| Many people think of the WINE project as an
| emulator for windows yet the very name of
| the project explains that it is not true.
| The name WINE is, as you most probably
| know, a typical open source acronym for
| Wine Is Not an Emulator. The very goal of
| the project is to recreate, without
| breaking any law, the functional equivalent
| of the windows operating systems libraries
| so programs written for windows can run
| natively under Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| When there is equivalent Linux
| functionality for any available windows
| program out there, why would people still
| want to use windows programs? If you must
| use a windows program, then pay the piper
| and buy yourself a copy of the operating
| system. Or even better, learn how to
| effectively use the equivalent Linux
| program and wean yourself off of the nipple
| and be a big boy for a change.

Skype Open-Source Update Expected Soon
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in November there was an official
| announcement from Skype concerning an open-
| source Linux client. Details since then
| have been scarce on what exactly Skype
| plans to provide as open-source software,
| with some speculating just the user-
| interface/front-end side will be opened up.

The First Opera 10.51 Snapshot for Linux Is Here
,----[ Quote ]
| Opera 10.50 has been available for a couple
| of weeks on Windows and Opera 10.51 has
| just been released, but Linux fans are
| still stuck at Opera 10.10. Hopefully, this
| won't be for much longer, as the new
| browser is packing some serious punch and
| is coming with an impressive feature list.
| The final release isn't here, but Linux
| users can finally get to testing Opera's
| latest creation as the first snapshot
| builds of Opera 10.51 6252 for Linux have
| been made available by the development
| team.
