http://blogs.computerworld.com –
I want; I mean I really want, an Apple MacBook Air. Mind you, I wouldn't kick a Lenovo ThinkPad X300 or Toshiba Portege R500 out of my hotel bedroom either. If you're a Mac or Windows user you've got several excellent top-of-the-line ultra-thin laptop choices. If you're a desktop Linux user, your choices aren't that great. So far.

While organizing some of my ancient stuff, I saw this book that I have read during the 90’s that I wanted to share to my young readers for they might never heard about it. This very fascinating book is entitled, “The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage”.

Harris' post is provoked by a discussion of “poisonous” users, i.e., those select few users who turn up and (intentionally or not) do “contribute” to the project in the form of dissonance and conflict, but the idea that open source doesn’t need users is one that should be strongly refuted.
