Living the Liminal

Despite the fact that Microsoft has announced that it will delay the release of Office 2007, thereby demonstrating that they are really incapable of putting out their products when they say they are; despite the fact that the new “docx” files aren’t compliant with the Oasis OpenDocument format, and despite the fact that OpenOffice.org is [...]

The current bill proposed by Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), has failed in committee. Michael Grebb has a good story over at Wired about how the net has never really been all that neutral… certainly not in an attempt to dismiss ongoing efforts to prevent blatent segregation of information, but to [...]

SimpleGeek has a great post about why he has left Windows behind that has me pretty nearly convinced and Mac’s OsX on my Emachine W3052 or my Thinkpad R31 is definitely a sexy thought… especially on the Thinkpad.
