Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday January 17, 2009
Tim Cook, who will oversee the company while Jobs takes medical leave, never raises his voice. Still, Cook's management style won't be a shift for employees. He's been quietly running the company for several years, said Mike Janes, who worked with the executive for five years at Apple.

Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday January 17, 2009

Ubuntu Faster on My Internet Than Windows XP
Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday January 17, 2009
This isn't a rigorous benchmarked lab test yet, but I found something bizarre this morning. After fixing a little router problem, I tested the download speeds on my DSL line from AT&T and my cable Internet line from Time Warner Cable. I have both for product testing needs.

The Secret Lives of Ubuntu and Debian Users
Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday January 17, 2009
Using free and open source software (FOSS), advocates like to say, is not a popularity contest. It's about doing what's right. However, the Debian and Ubuntu Popularity Contest projects might disagree.
Using the Popularity Contest package, these two projects collect and post weekly anonymous reports about the software used on each system on which they're installed. The result is a rare insight into the habits of FOSS users, including how often software is upgraded, what applications are used the most, and the differences between the expert-oriented Debian distribution and the more user-friendly Ubuntu distribution.

Netscape Enterprise Server, Now Open Source
Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday January 17, 2009
Last year when Sun acquired MySQL I did a tour of a few of the campuses meeting different engineers to see what they did with Sun. At some point last year I met up with a group in Menlo Park who had been working on a webserver at Sun. Low and behold it was the evolutionary grandchild of what was the Netscape Enterprise Server.

Android-powered G1 phone is an enticing platform for app developers
Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday December 31, 2008
The free and open source software community has been waiting for the G1 cell phone since it was first announced in July. Source code for Google's Android mobile platform has been available, but the G1 marks its commercial debut. It's clearly a good device, but is it what Linux boosters and FOSS advocates have long been anticipating?

The new openSUSE community-elected board speaks
Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday November 05, 2008
The distribution's first board was appointed by Novell in November 2007, tasked with the unusual job of "bootstrapping" a community-elected board that could guide the project with a balance of Novell and non-Novell influence. Less than a year later, that community-elected board is now in place, and looking forward to its new role.

Your Rights Online: IBM Teri-is-a-Girl-and-Terry-is-a-Boy Patent
Submitted by Shahbaz Ghazi on Tuesday November 04, 2008
"The USPTO has granted IBM a patent for utilizing naming conventions to assign gender-based avatars for instant messaging. A user named Teri, IBM explains, would be given a girl avatar, while a user named Terry would be provided with a boy avatar. The three IBM 'inventors' were stymied by users named Pat, who as a result will be assigned a 'generic, genderless human figure image as his or her avatar.' Way to honor that significant-technical-content patent pledge, Big Blue!"

Biggest Threat to Microsoft - Google or Open Source?
Submitted by anonymous on Tuesday January 01, 2008
"Google always plays down suggestions that there's any looming clash of the titans between itself and Microsoft. Meanwhile, the search giant is pushing open source in every way it can. They're contributing directly by contributing code to projects and employing top hackers like Andrew Morton, Jeremy Allison and Guido van Rossum, and indirectly through the $60 million fees it pays Mozilla, its Summer of Code scheme and various open source summits held at its offices. Google+OSS: could this be the killer combination that finally breaks Microsoft?"

Fedora 8 A Serious Threat to Ubuntu
Submitted by Syed Ghazi on Monday December 31, 2007
"According to MadPenguin.org's latest article, Fedora 8 from Red Hat is a serious threat to Ubuntu. The author writes, "I was never that swept up with past releases of Fedora. There was nothing compelling about it. But for the first time, I cannot help but feel that the Fedora team has been spoon fed an extra helping of Wheaties, which has put them into overdrive with their accessibility efforts."

Linux: Long Live Closed-Source Software?
Submitted by Webmaster on Monday December 31, 2007
"In an article for Discover Magazine, Jaron Lanier writes about his belief that open source produces nothing interesting because of a hide-bound mentality. 'Open wisdom-of-crowds software movements have become influential, but they haven't promoted the kind of radical creativity I love most in computer science. If anything, they've been hindrances. Some of the youngest, brightest minds have been trapped in a 1970s intellectual framework because they are hypnotized into accepting old software designs as if they were facts of nature. Linux is a superbly polished copy of an antique, shinier than the original, perhaps, but still defined by it.'"

Embedded Linux On a Digital Stethoscope
Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday December 26, 2007
"A team of electrical and computer engineering students at Calvin College is designing a digital electronic stethoscope running uClinux as its operating system. While there are many embedded devices built on Linux operating systems, medical devices running open-source software are extremely rare because of the perceived difficulty in obtaining FDA validation. The device is in its early stages of development, but major hardware choices have been made, and the team has recently released a Project Proposal and Feasibility Study."
