Couple of interesting items kicking around my Straw<\/A> client: <\/p>\n

First, let me be the millionth blogger to salute Cory Doctorow<\/A> of the EFF<\/A>‘s gem of a presentation<\/A> on DRM. Just a brilliant job. Instead of writing on our pieces on the topic in the future, I can just point to that, and say – “Yeah, what he said.” From this, you might conclude that I do not agree with Michael Gartenberg’s dissenting opinion<\/A>. <\/p>\n

Second, I’m monitoring with interest the work of Nat Friedman and the other Gnome hackers on the Beagle<\/A> and Dashboard <\/A>projects. I’m not sure who’s (Google? MS? Novell?) going to get it rightfirst – meaning an integrated, indexed and intelligent desktop – but I’m sure that either way I’m going to be right on board. Note the Mono<\/A> underpinnings. <\/p>\n

Third, Tim Bray’s take on netbeans – “it’s not bad”<\/A> – was worth a chuckle. Actually, I’m just giving him a hard time because we just see Eclipse as a near de facto standard. Just about every ISV we speak with cites Eclipse – or Visual Studio – as their preferred app dev integration point of choice. Sun’s got some hard decisions to make in the netbeans space, and soon. <\/p>\n

Last, it’s nice to see a ‘Softie speak his mind<\/A> about corporate behaviors. This can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
