Yeah...But I object more on principle than on actual need. I'm very happy with Safari on the iPhone...Perhaps as I use the iPhone more I will see that I need Firefox, but at this juncture...

Aww, that stinks.

I dunno. I can get on Facebook on a Blackberry and it'll show me latest updates. Which I don't because I'm not interested. :)

This is a great idea...Though another productivity kicker. In a boring office meeting? Now people will be reading what their friends are doing at work while yawning.

A fascinating idea...Don't try and combat the hackers, hand the troublesome traffic off to a massive enterprise like Google. Of course, some of us remember the last time this was done by Israeli firm Blue Frog (an anti-spam application I yearn for daily)...They took down significant websites including Six Apart as the hack attack shifted focus.

I see no reason that the Russian government needs to be involved in these attacks in any way...or even criminal elements necessarily. If we were to wage war against a technological nation and this war was popular amongst the American populace I have no doubt script kiddies and hackers across the nation would pop out of the woodwork to lend a hand in warfare that requires no danger of physical death (okay, maybe a small bit).

Does anyone really need a terabyte of storage for work use? Okay, maybe if you are a video editor? Otherwise? Shouldn't it be residing on a SAN?

FileZilla, Audacity, Firefox, 7zip are all open source - I do/have used them. :)

I'm not sure how many of these are open source, but I use FileZilla, IrfanView, Audacity, Firefox, Juice, 7zip, Openfire, Spark, for a few.

I know I use several applications from the long tail - FileZilla, WinMerge, Pidgin, PuTTY, Win32Pad, TortoiseSVN...

I agree that Linux is a viable alternative in many scenarios, but we can't simply gloss over the differences. While a primary or middle schooler may not notice the difference, high school students will. There is no Microsoft Office for Linux and while OpenOffice is similar the differences are pronounced enough. Linux boxes make great replacements where the primary purpose is web browsing, educational applications, and the like...but don't expect kids not to notice when they boot up OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office. I'm not suggesting that moving to Linux - even for applications like OpenOffice is a bad thing, in fact I use OpenOffice...But we cannot simply install these systems and expect the transition to be transparent. There will be training requirements for both faculty and students.

ok...Kirkpatrick sold me, I'm over to check out Twellow now.

I love this idea...though it is somewhat competitive with IN. I think it has a great future and we are working on some similar features for IN. However, we don't want to become a full-featured RSS reader b/c then we enter competition with Google Reader, et al. Rather we'll be looking for ways to offer some of the benefits without the whole package and integrating with third party services as well.

I have to agree with Lardinois on this one - suing StudiVZ will not win Facebook any friends in Germany. If they had nailed the company when it was small - sure, but you let it last as long as it has and its almost like saying, "Sure, go ahead, we don't care."

Seems Lasars admits in this post Ubuntu is their largest competition. I remember a few years ago it seemed like everyone was talking about SUSE - now the hype is all Ubuntu.

Rackspace is a premium host...I wonder what they intend to use this money for? Perhaps grid computing?

I've used Miva several times over the years. Most recently however they turned down most of my requested search terms - something that befuddled me as they were accepted everywhere else...Anyways, an acquisition makes sense.

yeah, a lot of the problem is just that people are ingrained with OpenOffice...its hard to convince them to switch...and compatibility isn't perfect. if you are writing school papers it usually works fine - but excel spreadsheet calculations - well its a bit of a gamble.

not a bad idea...though only having to login once is always nice for me...i already have multitasking disorder (i made that up) b/c of all the usernames/passwords/applications i have to remember.

Openoffice is a great app, $1B seems a huge amount to create a perception to the consumer, if it's free then surely that will be half of the job done, (MS Office)$150 v free.

I've never really needed to copy a file while I'm logged in. If I am doing web work or programming I normally leave an SCP and SSH window both up.
