"Microsoft and Hewlett Packard won't share a study claiming
that the German
city of Munich had its numbers wrong when it
calculated switching from Windows
to Linux saved the city
millions -- although an HP employee did provide the
data to a
German publication that reported on the results" link [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

One more Aaron Swartz message; I live in a small US town in the SE area,
population about 23 thousand. Most people in this town have no clue about IT and
don't care to. It's not a real big priority in the public school system and
local businesses have trouble recruiting employees with even the most basic
computer skills. So I was surprised when an Aaron Swartz article popped up in
the local town newspaper. The article is a syndicated piece
by one Froma Harrop,
entitled "Aaron Swartz was accused of real crimes". In my opinion, it is
a nasty piece of work, beating up on a recently deceased human who is not here
to answer back. It is a cheap shot and Ms. Harrop pretty much draws and quarters
Aaron's body with character assassination, misinformation, untruths and IP
propaganda. It is sickening to read and turned my stomach. No matter what they
think of young Aaron, have these people no shame? OK, now I'm mad. Really really
really mad. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

According to this item in Forbes, Microsoft has dropped the ball
so often and so decisively under chief Ballmer's tenure that they are now sell
status.
Then again, coming from Forbes, it could just be more smoke
and mirrors... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Farnell There is
also an affordable HDMI to VGA converter. I also found this from FTDI, which would seem to be generally
useful, not just for the Pi. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Microsoft has released an SDK for Windows
Phone 7.8 – aka the
last ever update for Windows Phone 7
handsets, which have been orphaned by the
company’s platform
shift to Windows Phone 8 (built on a different
kernel).
link.
I
t would seem pointless to put out an SDK. What developer
is going to bother
updating their Win Phone 7 apps for those
few unfortunates duped into being
beta testers for the early
model? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

They're trying to Bungie Dell!
To properly "bungie" requires only two steps:
1. Find a profitable company upending your business model.
2. Buy it and hope you can kill "Mac Gaming" or "Linux
Desktops" in time.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
