    Truesong Tech: "I recently set up Arch Linux (which is awesome, by the way) on my laptop, and noticed a bit of a problem... despite my resolution, 1680x1050, which usually makes fonts look tiny, all of my system fonts were huge."

StumbleUpon!

Would it mean the end of Yahoo's open source enterprises, such as Zimbra? Or their willingness to provide to the open source community, such as with its "Design Patterns Library" (a set of DHTML/Ajax/Javascript controls and widgets for web designers)?

Torvalds Blasts Patent Trolls, Microsoft, and Linux Market Share? PDF Print E-mail


StumbleUpon!

Linus Torvalds, Linux creator, came out in a Q&A podcast with the Linux Foundation attacking patent trolls, SUN Microsystems, Microsoft, and More. "[P]atents on software should not be allowed," Torvalds said, "...it just does not work in software....[software] contains so many pieces that nobody could even know whether...different things might be under some completely trivial patent." He went on to add that "[patent trolls] don't have any code or any product or they don't sell anything at all." Torvalds even related patent trolls to terrorists, stating "they're the kind of terrorists that you can't bomb them back because there's nothing there to bomb."
