But what are they going to do to develop linux? Are they going to contribute to the community, or are they just going to make a quick buck on everyone else's work without having to worry about NT licencing fee.
According to a Computerworld article,
The company will set up a 200-person Linux development team with centers in India and the U.S.
It claims they are going to focus on improving the user interface and interoperability with other IBM stuff.
I remember seeing this when it aired. It had really cheesey video effects. It was Sid and Marty Kroft-bad. I've seen bootleg copies of it for sale at cons... but no desire to see it again!
There is already ample case law to defeat this initiative: Cubby vs. Compuserve and Prodigy vs. Stratton, Oakmont.
If these cases serve as any guide it will hinge on whether Yahoo "moderates" (i.e. exerts editorial control) over the postings. If they do then they may be held liable for the content created by their own users!
... because we are heading fast towards Mbone and cheap commonplace wireless services. At some point in the near future everyone everywhere will be able to set up an Internet radio station with little more than a home stereo and a PC; the original point of "microcasting" (as low power FM is nicknamed) is to give voices to people who are not represented by corporation-owned radio stations!
It will be useful to the radio enthusiast though, much like ham radio.
What do we need hits for anyways? If you have a network of friends, a few websites and other sources to get listening recommendations from, hit singles become nothing more than curiosities.
