Not sure I like the mention of bumper stickers, as opposed to the real people who have been protesting, but at least it talks about the support he has been getting. It even appeared as one the main newsworthy item on my daily NYTimes newsletter, Yay! Let's keep up the support and protests. As my brother said to me the other day, "The only way to beat bullies is to stand up to them."" See also Elcomsoft's statement about the case, a story in the Boston Globe, and this cute fable about a DMCA future.

Interesting reading, as well as some excellent commentary on why the Bazaar development model isn't always a great idea." (timothy butts in: You might also want to revisit the recent Ask Slashdot about promoting Open Source on the Mac.)

John Martellaro wrote in to plug a double-feature collaboraton collaberation between himself and Del Miller discussing "OS Responsibility". Here is Part I and Part II. Neither say anything earth shattering to your average Slashdotter, but they each say important things very well, and because of that, they are worth reading, and perhaps showing them to the PHBs ^[?] out there who just might not get it.

This editorial in Mac opinion discusses the way Microsoft's competitors may attack Microsoft: making computers irrelevant by replacing them with information appliances. This could lead to an increase in computer prices -- economies of scale no longer apply.>

Rustless Walter writes "In a series of articles starting here, John Martellaro discusses how Linux represents a threat to Apple's OS market share, but claims that, after Linux has peaked, Apple will be the next wave. Martellaro is a Linux user, and has experienced NT's instability firsthand. Some of his predictions make sense, but he seems to be convinced that people care more about what their computers look like than how well they work. " Hmmm...hasn't Apple been the next big thing for a while? Or was that Java? I always get confused.

Peter Pan writes sent us a link to a really tiny MP3 player that looks even more impressive then the Rio (Although it uses external storage). I think we posted it before, but I don't have time to check before class. Regardless, its cool, and relavant right now, especially because Ben Garland wrote an article on MacOpinion talking about how MiniDiscs are better than the Rio. Its an interesting read. Update: 11/25 11:45 by CT : Danse sent us a link to an article about a stereo component for MP3s. this one uses 2.2 gig ORB cartridges and looks pretty sweet. No costs or release date, but it looks very promising.
