I really shouldn’t leave it so long to post here!

Since last time, this is what I’ve been writing on for iTWire … mostly Linux, but some other items too.

Linux

• The wit and wisdom of Linus Torvalds
• Why doesn’t everyone just run Linux?
• Why the latest IE flaw proves Linux got it right from the start
• Dumbass consumers squander netbook experience by rejecting Linux
• Obama and McCain prove critical open source argument true – this is an important one! Electronic voting systems are a reality and only the open source viewpoint can assure transparency and accuracy.
• School teacher claims, “Linux is illegal, no software is free.”
• Geeks seek to hack depression
• Why do Windows programs suck so freaking much (and what can they learn from Linux?)
• Linux netbooks look likely to save Government education promise
• Why the Cybersource education solution won’t get off the ground

Christmas Linux

iPhone

• New York Governor seeks iPod tax
• Are iPhone-friendly sites actually doing a disservice?

iTWire: Open source software has long been accepted as a legitimate software license by tech-savvy crowds. It’s become recognised by business. And even the courts are taking seriously open source software authors rights despite the fact no money has changed hands. This month an Artistic License was tested in court in the case of Robert Jacobsen vs KAM Industries, and upheld as enforceable copyright conditions. It is a landmark decision ratifying the philosophical basis behind FOSS.
