Yes, congratulations to the OpenSuse team and everyone who contributes to the growth of Linux. Reading what's new was interesting and, in some ways, exciting. In contrast, I live in fear whenever I read about what's new in the ne

What does all this say about Larry Page? He gave a speech recently where he actually pondered why people wouldn't want to have their health care data public, so it could be shared to advance medical research. From that I could tell tha

Maybe he never left Microsoft? Maybe his true mission is to keep tabs on Google and given the opportunity, create long-term strategic blunders?

I like SourceTree but it the UI gets clunky and slow within a short period of time. Not sure why, but it usually happens when you have anything more than a trivial number of commits.

The rot was setting in long before Larry Page became CEO. For me, the first sign was GMail and their broken/perverted IMAP model.

Perhaps they have $130 million but they're lonely. They have nothing in common with most people their age, who must make decisions with monetary constraints, and can't fly off to Goa at the drop of hat. So they surround themselve

Useless article. Don't waste your time. Should have stuck to my rule of avoiding blog posts which claim a certain thing is "the most powerful".

What's the big deal about Github? Too much hype. Whenever you hear about the number of repos, most of them are just forks. In fact, I've created many by accident because Github changed their UI so clicking the icon instantly sta

Twitter is "worth" more than BAE Systems, based on market cap. The valuation of companies with no record of profits and no easy path to profitability is utterly ridiculous.

Screw both Apple and Google. People will say they support open-source via certain projects but the proof is in the pudding. If they're using OSM data to cement one of their key platform apps, they need to donate money, lots of it, and

Yes, given the story of a football slave, how ironic that they are holding the football World Cup in Qatar. I hope every true football fan boycotts Qatar 2022 and puts pressure on top players and FIFA to move the World Cup to more deserving
