Firefox and Open Standards the Way Forward

lamasquerade writes "A major Australian newspaper has a lengthy and detailed feature on open source/standards, avoiding vendor lock-in, and specifically the increasing uptake of Firefox by major organisations' IT departments. It touches on security and price advantages of open source but mainly focuses on open standards -- the perils of vendor lock-in, and their importance to technologies like the Internet and digital music. Linux, OpenOffice.org and even Bugzilla get a mention and all told it is a very pro-open source/standards article, especially considering it is in a mass-circulation publication."

In Australia, as with the rest of the English-speaking world (yep, that's right; you dumbasses doing your own thing again), "shrimps" are known as "prawns". Thus, surprising though it may be, your sitcom-derived education in geography and culture misled you there, for Australians would, at the very least, be saying "prawn".
