CPTN, a consortium set up by Microsoft, Apple, Oracle and EMC to acquire hundreds of Novell patents, appears to have inadvertently faked out the open source community by withdrawing its proposal from the German Federal Cartel Office. News reports on Tuesday noted the event and alluded to possible su...
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla have a lot in common with Apple, Google, HTC, Motorola, and Research In Motion. They are all warriors in the ongoing war to see who can amass the largest number of the most lucrative technology patents. Edison and Tesla waged their battle from the late 1860s through t...
So Turkey Day has come and gone for another year here in the good old U-S-of-A, but what comes next might be even better -- at least from a geek's perspective. That's right, it's Black Friday once again, and the tech shopping deals are ripe for the picking. Who has time to worry about Novell, Attach...
Human beings are creatures of habit, it seems safe to say, and tend to have a hard time embracing change. So it has been no great surprise to see the widespread shock and dismay -- mixed, still, with considerable excitement -- over the decision to make Unity the next desktop Ubuntu's default interfa...
With all the Oracle-related antics going on this fall, it seems safe to say that those of us in the FOSS community haven't really needed to watch much TV. After all, we've laughed, we've cried, we've dropped our jaws in amazement, all just by observing the drama going on right around us with regard ...
Sometimes, what starts out as a simple conversation on the Linux blogs can lead to a momentous event. To wit: Mark Shuttleworth's recent treatise on "tribalism," which appeared on his blog late last month. "Tribalism is when one group of people start to think people from another group are 'wrong by ...
Google on Tuesday unveiled Google Apps for Government. It also announced that Google Apps has received federal information security certification. "With Google Apps for Government, we've gone beyond FISMA certification," Google spokesperson Andrew Kovacs told TechNewsWorld. Meanwhile, Google will ne...
It's hard to imagine a topic more central to the argument for or against free and open source software than security. Hardly a day goes by without news of some fresh exploit in the Windows environment, after all -- but what about Linux and other open software? Can they do better? That's essentially ...
The question of security is one that has plagued proponents of proprietary and open source software alike for as long as there has been a choice. Is free and open source software more secure by virtue of all the many pairs of eyes that can see the code, identify vulnerabilities and fix them? Or is "...
Since January, the high-technology industry has witnessed a dizzying spate of dueling vendor product announcements. So what else is new? It's standard operating procedure for vendors to regularly issue hyperbolic proclamations about their latest/greatest offering, even (or especially) when the annou...
As city administrators grapple with the notion of tying all their apps into one overarching network, should they be looking to open source as an alternative to apps from vendors? Enterprise-level open source apps exist, and are used both by the federal government and by large corporations. For examp...
No sooner did the Novell v. SCO case draw to a close than another one seems to have come to take its place. This time, of course, IBM is the big name involved, while TurboHercules, a French company that makes a mainframe emulator, plays the little guy. At issue are Hercules, the open source mainfra...
Well it's been over a week since the landmark ruling came down in the Novell v. SCO case, but the reverberations are still being felt throughout the blogosphere. The post-ruling ruminations just keep coming. Linux Girl was down at the Tipsy Tux Tavern when the news broke, so she had plenty of opport...
The MeeGo community, formed by Intel and Nokia, on Thursday released the MeeGo distribution infrastructure and operating system base to developers. Images released are Intel Atom-based netbooks; ARM-based Nokia N900; and Intel Atom-based handsets running on the Moorestown chip. The Thursday release ...
Well, it's April Fool's Day once again, and that means it's time to have some fun with recent news from the world of FOSS. For example: Did you hear the SCO Group won its six-year case against Novell? Ha! That's because it didn't -- thank goodness. And what about Sony's decision to make its PlaySta...
