- Today is a celebration of that dissapearing species, a man described in most of the papers this morning as a 'British Boffin' I've been part of the campaign for 6 years to get Tim Berners-Lee knighted. He's an extraordinary man; who besides inventing the web and making this blog possible, has been odd among the digerati in never seeking to profit from his invention. Tim never sought patents, incorporated start-ups or licensed technology. Were it not for Tim's philanthropic vision for the web then the world would be a very different place. |

- Sometime there's just no pleasing some people. Sometimes, people are just, well - stupid. Take the Neistat Brothers as an example of selective inbreeding. These goofs are ticked at Apple for mishandling their beef with their iPod battery dying after 18 months. (mind you, ours has been going strong for 2 years now on a firstgen 5 gigger). |

- Imagining that I was asked to create a virtual time capsule representative of the state of the educational Internet circa 2003, I chose the following five sites. I gleaned them from the hundreds of sites I reviewed this year, which in turn, were picked from thousands of sites visited. As always, it was a nearly impossible task. The following where chosen because I liked their range of subject and audience. |

- When the technology community considers Linux, we know what sets it apart from the competition. But if you were to ask the average consumer, few could give you a legitimate answer other than maybe it doesn’t cost anything. (However there will always be those that look in vain for the free beer everyone keeps talking about.) Editorial contributor Doug Dingus offered the following opinion piece to osViews which proposes some interesting ideas to help differentiate Linux to consumers by way of hardware rather than just software. |

- So, I got a piece of junk mail that proved to be very well targeted, yesterday. It was a circular from the History Book Club, offering me three books for $1 each and a fourth for half off, with nothing to buy ever again, yadda yadda yadda. Well, normally I don't go for such things, but a few things made me look twice at this one. First, the subject matter is highly interesting to me. I've come to the conclusion that whether it's financially viable to do so, I'd like to take history in college. |
