OLPC

I got late to the lecure at the Haifa Linux Club. However, it was worth the effort.
Zvi Devir gave an excelent talk about the project and the highlight was
that the talk was given on a real OLPC machine (through a VNC to another laptop
connected to an overhead projector).

After the talk we had a few minutes to play with the beast (well, as very small beast ;-)
and take some photos.

It was quite impressive. Excelent screen resolution (better than Zvi's own laptop),
A very nice builtin camera (the blur in photo is due to my out-of-focus shot).
There was a really nice music "activity" called Tamtam and the small speakers were audible.

Yes, I want to be a kid again...

MS: new products, old tactics.

..."Microsoft seems to intend to deter customers from leveraging virtual machine mobility (a technology which Microsoft does not have) by levying an economic tax on the use of such functionality."

Same old MS, same old tactics. Just to show how (in)effective is the judicial supervision that supposedly "controls" their behaviour.

Solving a non-problem in the wrong way.

Someone at the Register has a tip to solve the load caused by 10,000 downloads of Fedora Core 6 in 5 hours:

"...Perhaps Red Hat could give the Fedora Project a beefy Unix box, or two."

The BitTorrent downloads are mentioned only in the end as a workaround.

It should be remembered that P2P distribution is one of the inherent advantages of using free software and save costly bandwidth. Let the proprietary software vendors pay their own bandwidth and be tangled in their centralized "portals".

Which, of course, begs to link Jamendo that can offer CD quality music downloads via BW saving P2P..... because they offer only free music.

Hardware vendors start to comply...

I just bought an Edimax access point to my SOHO.
The first thing inside the box was the following card:


It also appears as the first paragraph on the
download page in their site.

Winds of change? I don't know, but they earned
one extra customer for sure...
