Wow, you know a company is desparate to acquire into a space when they’re paying 60% plus premiums… there goes a MySQL and Linux user…
Microsoft said Friday it has offered to acquire Yahoo in a proposed cash and stock deal valued at $44.6 billion.
Microsoft said it had offered to buy Yahoo for $31 per share, […]
Saw a few articles today on IBM’s OCCS announcement with Ubuntu.

Satyadas said IBM thinks that this year, it will happen. “All the stars are lining up,” he said. “Everybody has been saying that since 2001 except IBM. We never said that, but we are saying that now.”

I found this post interesting and if you can read Spanish, I encourage you to check it out. While it appears Sergio disagrees with me on economics driving participation (and hey, disagreement is allowed), you can see he then builds off my argument by offering four constructive rules to building an open, developer community.

I read this news release with great excitement and will take a shameless opportunity to plug what I think is a fantastic partnership. The news? IBM’s Lotus group has announced support of its Open Collaboration Client Solution (OCCS) for Ubuntu Linux. OCCS is a layer of rich client communications apps including IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 […]
Mike Strosaker has a couple points to make about Sun’s claims of predictive self healing relative to Linux. One thing I’ve noticed is that Sun (and Microsoft) always compare one of their features to Linux on Intel/AMD and ignore the capabilities of Linux on Power, Itanium or Mainframe platforms (which, btw are growing faster than […]
