From prolinux.de:

Das Schweizer Unternehmen ImCoSys hat ein Linux-basiertes Smartphone vorgestellt, das offenbar in erster Linie Unternehmen ansprechen soll.

Das Smartphone der jungen, in Zug in der Schweiz angesiedelten Firma ImCoSys zeichnet sich vor allem durch ein eingebautes GPS-Modul aus, durch das es als Navigationsgerät dienen kann. Alle üblichen Telefonie- und PDA-Funktionen sind vorhanden, auf eine Kamera wurde dagegen verzichtet, da diese im Unternehmensumfeld oft gar nicht erwünscht ist.

Rob Landley states that

Eric [Raymond] has finally decided that the correct way to describe what’s going on in the software market is to use the Black-Scholes theory of option pricing and frame the discussion in terms of the benefits of modularization.

Interesting

Normal people believe that if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Two engineering students were cycling across a university campus when one said,
“Where did you get such a great bike?”
The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.” The second engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.

Hah, nice ones, thanks Stefan!

Yes, that is me crazy bugger jumping from that 10Meter bridge

Did you ever notice that 10 Meter appears to be much higher when you are standing on a bridge and are about to jump down?

Heute haben wir uns entschlossen “Naturstrom” für unsere Wohnung zu beziehen. Naturstrom Sky besteht aus 20% Solarenergie, 30% Biomasse-Energie und 50% Energie aus Kleinwasserkraftwerkanlagen und wird uns etwa 45 Franken im Monat extra kosten…
Da die Glattwerke ca. 80% ihrer Energie aus Atomstrom beziehen, würden Atomstromfilter bei uns einfach nicht funktinieren :-P.

From the EFF press release:
Professor Yochai Benkler of Yale Law School researches the effects of laws on information, knowledge, and culture in the digital world. Benkler’s important contributions include a theoretical explanation of how the Internet has allowed decentralized groups to produce things like technologies and bodies of knowledge more efficiently than any centrally organized corporation or trade-based marketplace could. After the publication of Benkler’s most recent book, “The Wealth of Networks,” Lawrence Lessig called him “the leading intellectual of the information age.”

Now, a music video looks looks like this(Youtube) when data geeks produce music. Fun to watch.
