Ever heard of the Java Desktop System...enough Linux for you there? Mcnealy is late to the party, but at least he's now there - largely thanks to new his newly-anointed COO, J Schwartz
writing at JDJ's online site, McNealy said he was pressured to try glasnost by his customers, who have mixed environments and wanted the companies to "stop the noise" and "get it together." Ballmer said there was "nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing" in the agreement, which was barely sketched, that "would not delight" both sets of customers.
Well there's an intriguing technology timeline that BT in the UK released for example, which for 2004 alone comes up with some pretty imaginative possibilities - it continues through to 2040 btw. Just wondered what at CeBIT comes close to any of these hypothetical inflection points that's all.

kinda odd that you have not run into the phrase "free speech" ever...
Novell also has Richard Seibt on board now, the former CEO of SuSE. He joined to continue managing SUSE LINUX as President, and said - according to LinuxWorld again: "2004 will be the year of Linux."
According to that same report (I just read it through) he also says: "How do you make money out of open source?"
Here was his answer: "It is a development model - but it is also becoming a business model. People will pay for the convenience of 'free' software. Companies like Novell have invested millions of dollars in proprietary code which it is now contributing to the community - such as its UDDI server."
Odd how nothing, but nothing has happened, then, isn't it. Not on Thursday, as the article promises. Nor on Friday. "Sun sources" could just as well be San Francisco taxi drivers...this was a lazy report, and is not only unsubstantiated but plain wrong. Wait I know, Perhaps the "Sun sources" meant NEXT Thursday...
The eWeek piece doesn't say any such thing, "closely evaluating" is a time honored phrase meaning business-as-usual, "agrees to talk" is something quite different. Sun simply hasn't done this.
Javalobby's Rick Ross doesn't agree with ESR, but he doesn't agree with Sun either, saying that "No Sun Is An Island" and urging Sun to take much more initiative in helping create what Ross calls "a cooperative industry alliance for Java platform marketing."
Well worth reading.
Yes, this is a good read. The flames have started already of course from folks who didn't read the actual piece merely the headline. The author is a SysAdmin who argues that the Linux community needs to distance itself vocally from the MyDoom perpetrator.

"Reader-Response" Index for Q4...engendering more feedback from the Linux comunity than any other individual in the entire technology space, much of it articulate, admittedly some not-so.
He he, that makes two of us...i submitted it yesterday and the same thing happened, but hey that's Slashdot right you can't always expect yout submission to be leapt upon. Some only become significant when other sheos drop into place, by which time they've already been rejected. But eventually most everything gets covered, I have great faith in the moderators and in the fact that not much of significance gets bypassed...not in the long run.
Summarizing what it terms Novell's "Linux ambitions," Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram is reporting today that Novell is not only porting its services - including the services stack in the future NetWare 7 - to Linux and launching Novell Nterprise Linux Services to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server from later this year, but that it has also - as the company that sold Unix to SCO's predecessor - been tipped off by one of the folks who examined the source code that the SCO Group claims Linux copied from SVR4...and been able to trace the code back to a pre-SVR4 version of BSD.
"As a result, Novell is supposedly trying to figure out how to lob another discrediting hand grenade at SCO and claim that the code SCO is basing its $3 billion contentions on is actually in the public domain," LinuxGram says.
i can't speak for the wired space, but in the wireless arena folks could do worse than hook up with the Mobile Entertainment Forum - which has as Chairman of its America Group the charismatic Ralph Simon, the guy who founded Moviso. Ralph is a tireless proponent of gaming developers and the need to hook developers up with telcos and vice versa.
At a MEF forum event at E3 last month, it was pretty apparent that Vodaphone Live! is one of the most happening players when it comes to cutting in developers with a chunk of change in return for their IP.

I wonder if it's true that we've reached a technology plateau or were there fundamental new technologies on show. Anyone?

An article in Wireless Business & Technology gives chapter and verse on this...it's written by the founder of 4Gwireless.org, who is also one of the prime movers behind a pioneering mesh-networking company.
