Open Source: Shift from Skepticism to Enthusiasm

,----[ Quote ]
| Two years ago many companies were skeptical 
| of Open Source, but after living two years 
| through tough times during a recession, 
| many companies  have a better handle on 
| what Open Source is all about and are 
| enthusiastically embracing its potential.  
| And the new mind shift among customers is 
| forcing many vendors to change.  Theyâre 
| changing the way that they sell.  And 
| theyâre changing the way that they develop 
| with and support their software purchases.

Google Vs. Apple: An Open And Closed Case

,----[ Quote ]
| In theory, open source should win hands 
| down. The open environment allows a 
| cooperative ecosystem to evolve, 
| guaranteeing a rate of innovation simply 
| not possible in closed system. But I think 
| it depends on where we are in the maturity 
| of the market. Open source allows for more 
| innovation, but it's also an open 
| invitation for more things to go wrong. 
| This can be deadly as you try to push along 
| market adoption.

Colonyzer: automated quantification of micro-organism growth characteristics on solid agar

,----[ Quote ]
| Colonyzer was developed using the open source 
| packages: Python, RPy and the Python Imaging 
| Library and its source code and documentation 
| are available on SourceForge under GNU General 
| Public License. Colonyzer is adaptable to suit 
| specific requirements: e.g.
| 
| automatic detection of cultures at irregular 
| locations on streaked plates for robotic 
| picking, or decreasing analysis time by 
| disabling components such as lighting 
| correction or colour measures.
