Look What I Found
This would prove to be interesting, but I have my doubts. Purchasing is a form of validation. I think that is a lot of why Linux isn’t on more desktops.
The news has been around, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says the development process at Microsoft has to change after Windows Vista.
Opera Software has removed the banners and licensing fee of their Opera Web Browser, and it is now freeware.
I had no idea that the Rey’s that wrote Curious George went through so much…It makes me appreciate the books even more.
Curiosity about ‘George’ – Yahoo! News
In 1995, Borden read a brief reference in Publishers Weekly about how Margret and H.A. Rey, German Jews who created Curious George, fled in June 1940 from the Nazis advancing on Paris.
I love these kinds of stories. Seems that Microsoft tried to sue a student for $143 and some change because be purchased an educational version of XP and Office for $60, and sold it on eBay for more…But there is more to it than that…he was denied a refund from the Store and Microsoft.
BTW Zamos, you have a choice, it is called Linux.

“I asked him what he wanted from me,” says Zamos. “He said I needed to pay restitution. I said I had nothing to pay with, and he said, ‘You have a car.’ Yeah, like they’re gonna take my 2002 Ford Escort. I looked it up anyway, and they can’t take your car unless it’s collateral.”
Cool. That’s my team!
ESPN.com – NFL – Panthers offer tickets to New Orleans evacuees
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers are giving 350 tickets to Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints to Hurricane Katrina evacuees.
On our podcast Technorama we did an interview with Michael Barnett, one of the guys from the New Orleans Data center that weathered Katrina.
It was interesting to hear him talk about what has been going on and how they dealt with it all.
So if you have been following the story, or haven’t go and check it out.
Well, I am a fan of Ubuntu Linux. I have been looking for something to use instead of Fedora. Not that anything is wrong with Fedora, I just wanted to try something different. Ubuntu has been everything I was looking for. Easy to install, use, and I can get my hands dirty when I want.
Well I recently read that they would ship you for free a copy of Ubuntu Linux on CD. So I took them up on it. Today I received a package that contained 10 packs that had an Install CD and a Live CD each.
That is pretty awesome, and that is why I like Linux so much. Not just for Gnome, KDE, bash, flexibility, but for the sense of sharing that Linux promotes.
I can’t put into words how I feel for those in New Orleans right now.
9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans?
…In this hypothetical storm scenario, it is estimated that it would take nine weeks to pump the water out of the city, and only then could assessments begin to determine what buildings were habitable or salvageable…
Last night was a lot of fun. Summer Brooks from Dragonpage.com was kind enough to join us for the entire show on Technorama. Over at Dragonpage.com, they produce 3 podcasts. Slice or Sci-fi, for mainstream news of Movies and TV, Cover to Cover dealing with print media, and Wingin’ It, which is whatever comes up and she works as producer, and fact checker.
What started as an interview turned more into a chat. It was a lot of fun to do, and I am sure a lot of fun to listen to.
Here is a script that I found to post directly to your wordpress site from Bloglines.
