Christopher T. Nitchie: Geek StuffBlogging of technical stuff of interest.(Untitled)- June 30, 2002 I got an e-mail from an unknown e-mail address with some interesting links relating to yesterday's post. First, a story called The Right to Read by Richard Stallman. Second, a site drawing parallels between Microsoft's Palladium project and that story. Here's some more information. Here's a story on an AMD motherboard design that could make Palladium work. AMD and Intel have agreed to work with Microsoft on Palladium. Here's the original Newsweek story on Palladium.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100564/categories/geekStuff/2002/06/30.html#a163 (Untitled)- June 29, 2002 Bob Cringely has the story on how Microsoft is going to take over the web. This will obliterate the web-as-commons paradigm and set the web up as nothing more than another Cable TV system, where large companies get to use it to distribute their content. It leaves their competition, most notably Linux, out in the cold. The article is a little technical, but I think it'll be pretty readable to everybody. This is important.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100564/categories/geekStuff/2002/06/29.html#a162 |
