Rolling Back the Clock: Shell only Programs

,----[ Quote ]
| The results were interesting, due to 
| circumstance I had to use a graphical 
| browser to take care of work related 
| stuff, however, everything else worked 
| great. It is worth noting that in the past 
| I have used all of the utilities mentioned 
| here for a period of time for one reason 
| or another (for instance I used to secure 
| shell into a mail server and use mutt to 
| read mail locally) so it isn't like this 
| is new so much as a trip back in time. In 
| fact it has worked out so well, I continue 
| to use all of the utilities because for me 
| personally I work faster via a keyboard 
| with less mouse rather than the other way 
| around.

Open source Songbird to begin shipping with millions of MP3 players

,----[ Quote ]
| And it's about to become a whole lot more
| recognizable: Philips has just agreed to ship
| branded version of Songbird with millions of
| GoGear portable media players.
|
| The news is a major win for Songbird and open
| source software in general. It's also the
| kind of distribution deal that you don't
| often hear about for a piece of OSS. I'm
| still waiting for the day when laptops start
| showing up on retail shelves with Firefox
| preinstalled...
|
| It's also a win for Philips, since lower-
| price MP3 players like theirs are often
| saddled with substandard software. Songbird
| gives them a sexy, extensible, and feature-
| rich application to ship.
