Linux Foundation to Microsoft: stop secretly attacking Linux
By selling patents that target Linux, Microsoft could help generate fear, uncertainty, and doubt about Linux, without needing to attack the Linux community directly in their own name," Zemlin wrote

Links from the Gregg Zone
1) I have seen this concept before, but then it was just at the drawing board stage, now it seems it has advanced to a prototype testing phase, always a good sign. The first one I saw involved freeway off ramps hooked to street and traffic lights. That goes way beyond this, but this is a start, a speed bump generating some electric power at a burger king. Now, this is probably a just a necessary proof of concept, but it gets my vote as a definite maybe. http://www.foxnews.com
2) What the hey? As long as we are looking to go green at Burger King why not go over the edge, this is after all the Gregg Zone. Lets look into a green technology that can really make a difference like at McDonalds; we are talking in-vitro meat for your burger, and Chicken McNuggets. When you look at the carbon foot print, providing you can get past the yuck factor we can really save some environment here. And, what the heck who knows what is in that Big Mac anyway, for a while Jack was severing up Kanga & Roo. By the time the processing is over it may as well be in-vitro lab meat anyway. http://www.cnn.com
3) This is one that I suspect some may find very useful, I know I discovered it a little late in the game for my battle with Cox cable. I for one get quite agitated with these automated telephone systems, press this, then that, say yes, then no, feeling like a trained animal in a vaudeville show of some sort. Well if you want to get past it all and talk to a human quick, say at Dell Tech, or Wells Fargo this site is for you. Three days ago when I discovered it there were around 1,200 companies listed today it was over 1,300 so it is growing, there is a list of codes to get to a human being, much more than just press O, sometimes it is much more complicated, this one can save you some time, and maybe your sanity. http://www.gethuman.com
4) This one is an interesting sort of geeky subject bordering on the zone. A very interesting site, with the top ten weird computer systems. Systems based on everything from DNA to Billiard Balls, and Mold. When it comes to computing sometimes we get hung up on the paradigm of the moment. After all the subject goes back thousands of years, maybe in some regards for millennial. Any way it is always a good idea to try and expand ones view of a particular subject, or concept. A very good article to get those creative juices flowing here. http://www.impactlab.com
5) This is one of those things coming along that make Star Trek look like it is coming true in our life time. The universal translator; seems that at the moment it is only working in web browsers, well Fire Fox anyway it can recognize the language and automatically translate into your preferred language, 40 languages at the moment. Due to my pay grade I am not sure what is new about this, but the announcement was yesterday, so there must be something here, I have used the Google tool before. I guess the deal here is it is automatic, no need to click on a translate button. It will be very cool when this is all hooked into a small PDA you can carry around your neck when globe hopping, or maybe next year as an App for your phone. http://www.newscientist.com

Using Email Clients To Get To Gmail When Gmail Goes Down
"Personally, I use Outlook 2007 to download my email from a Google Apps account. This allows me to have full, dependable offline access. It allows me to periodically backup and archive my mail, protection against the rare case where Google might somehow delete my mail on their servers. It allows me to have easy access to search mail back for half a decade."
Gmail's web access was down for a couple of hours the other day. A lot of domains are now having Google host their email. I'm thinking of moving one of my domains there to see how I like it. Aaron already has 2 of his domains there.
By accessing your gmail using an email program like Thunderbird, or Outlook you can always read your mail even if Google's mail is down. (The POP still worked, the last time Gmail went down.)

Symantec: Posted code enables VoIP spying | Safe and Secure - CNET News
"Along with keyloggers that track what you type, now we have to worry about malicious software that listens in on our voice over Internet Protocol conversations."
The best way to avoid being infected with this or any other malware is to use good up-to-date security software and to be sure that your operating system and browser are updated. It's also a good idea to avoid clicking on e-mail attachments and consider using security software that warns you when you're about to visit a potentially malicious Web site.

Links from the Gregg Zone
1) I am starting off with another of those rather gloomy global warming links. But, in my mind the subject needs to stay in the public mind so I am just doing my little bit, hoping it will cause others to do theirs. Anyway this is an interesting article about the “Canary in the Mine” glacial meltdown; the rate seems to be greater than assumed as late as two years ago. http://www.cnn.com
2) This is one of those Gregg Zone links that cross barriers. The subject is intuitive archeology, or using remote viewing for advancing the field. This has been going on for a while I have seen or heard several stories on it, but never used it here. This is about The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island, a very interesting article. With a short video by one of the more famous intuitive archeology workers in the field. http://www.emediawire.com
3) I ran across a new term today at least for me, some of you I am sure are tech savvy and it is most likely not new for you, but I will be spending some time getting used to it. I am referring to augmented reality, when they manage to install this as a chip in to your frontal cortex, you will be able to do those cool overlays in your vision like in the terminator movies, till then you will just have to use your phone, PDA, or whatever, article here http://www.howstuffworks.com
4) I have to admit this is one I have not read trough yet, but due to time restraints I have decided to use it, post my blog, and read it during the show leading up to my segment, so it is posted on the title only, "The Joy of Linux Debunking" http://www.technewsworld.com
5) For my geek link offer, another that misses my pay grade due to altitude, but sounded like it might interest the audience here, the universal micro-kernel http://www.newscientist.com
