User Rating: / 1
Saturday, 29 March 2008

User Rating: / 5
Friday, 28 March 2008
In a few days the fate of Microsoft's Office Open XML will be known - whether it will be accepted as a second ISO standard for documents. Two years ago, the Open Document Format was ratified as a standard.

Let Apple take you on a Safari

Not the OLPC: Sustainable computing for the masses
User Rating: / 5
Friday, 21 March 2008
Stephen Dukker doesn't like to be described as a do-gooder; he's not comfortable with the label of humanitarian either. It just so happens that what he's involved in is bringing cheap computing to people - and helping a lot of others to make a decent living as well.
 
Has the emperor got any clothes?
User Rating: / 32
Tuesday, 18 March 2008
A little less than a week ago, GNOME co-founder and Microsoft admirer Miguel de Icaza called me a jihadist. I'm not exactly sure what he meant by that. When a man from Mexico uses words from the east one is unsure what he means to convey - but I thought it would be worth examining in detail the great developer's sayings.
 
What if... Windows went open source?
User Rating: / 6
Friday, 14 March 2008

The unholy quad: Miguel, Mono, Moonlight and Microsoft
User Rating: / 88
Tuesday, 11 March 2008
Does GNOME co-founder Miguel de Icaza's backflip over the Novell-Microsoft deal a few days ago mean that he has finally been convinced that he is on a one-way path to nowhere?
 
Miguel does a backflip on patent licensing deal
User Rating: / 12
Saturday, 08 March 2008
I haven't laughed as loud and as long as I did this morning when I read that Miguel de Icaza has now started criticising the patent licensing deal which his employer Novell signed with Microsoft in November 2006.
