Chrome and Rust: Pros and Cons of Google's Browser

,----[ Quote ]
| Should you be using one of the official 
| Google packages, you might want to read the 
| end-user's license agreement. The agreement 
| reads as though generic, and may not be the 
| final license. Still, you may want to know 
| that, like the license that openSUSE used on 
| its betas until a few releases ago, it is 
| non-free. When you download an official 
| package, the license assumes that you have 
| implicitly agreed not to copy or distribute 
| it.

New Handheld Computer Is 100% Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| "While the rest of the industry has been
| babbling on about the iPad and imitations
| thereof, Qi Hardware is actually shipping
| a product that is completely open source
| and copyleft. Linux News reviews the Ben
| NanoNote (product page), a handheld
| computer apparently containing no
| proprietary technology. It uses a 366 MHz
| MIPS processor, 32MB RAM, 2 GB flash, a
| 320x240-pixel color display, and a Qwerty
| keyboard. No network is built in, though
| it is said to accept SD-card Wi-Fi or USB
| Ethernet adapters. Included is a very
| simple Linux OS based on the OpenWrt
| distro installed in Linksys routers, with
| Busybox GUI. It's apparently intended
| primarily for hardware and software
| hackers, not as a general-audience
| handheld. The price is right, though:
| $99."
