“Sorry, Linus, but to me, the Linux goal, aka being an incentive to vendors, and an incubator, is over, now is the need for something the user finds usable, and supported.” link
Interesting article I spotted over at OSNews, debating whether OpenSolaris makes a better operating system than Linux. In short, which of the two are […]

WTF were they thinking? Now that they trademarked it — it’s official. Dunno about you, but I don’t want a small Wii.
