GROKLAW Publishes Secret Memo!

How’s that for a jazzy title for this entry?! I have long been amazed at the kahunas that SCO has shown by alleging that there is “proprietary code” in Linux. Riiiiiight! Uh, huh. I got a bridge I’ll sell ya, too. Now, it appears that one of the guys SCO hired to investigate whether this allegation was true, told them that “At the end, we had found absolutely *nothing*. ie no evidence of any copyright infringement whatsoever.”

So, SCO will apologize to the Open Source community and slink off into the sunset now, right? Don’t hold your breath.

Study Shows Users’ Confusion About Blogs

OK, so some people don’t get it. That’s news? To whom?

Study Shows Users’ Confusion About Blogs

I can understand “not getting” RSS or XML, those are technical aspects to blogging that people don’t really need to understand to read a blog, or even to be a blogger. But, the overall idea of blogging seems simple enough: a blogger has a huge ego and ACTUALLY believes people will read and enjoy his, or her, thoughts. That is blogging. And, amazingly, sometimes people do… and that, now that… is strange!

Controversial EU vitamins ban to go ahead – World – Times Online

This story COULD be repeated here in the U.S.! The CAFTA legislation that is pending agrees to make the EU ban take effect here as well!

Controversial EU vitamins ban to go ahead – World – Times Online

This is a terrible tragedy and we need to fight it! We should have the right to buy and use natural supplements if we choose to! If this legislation goes through, then the only way you could get these products is through an Allopathic Medical Doctor (and you KNOW it would be at a higher cost!) Stand up for you Health Freedoms!

Microsoft Downgrades Claria Adware Detections

And, here’s what you get when the Evil Empire (which is, of course, evil) buys a Spyware/Adware company…

Microsoft Downgrades Claria Adware Detections

They move the “findings” of their Anti-Adware program “downward” in level. Would “their own” Adware/Spyware hurt you? Why no, of course not! This is what happens when a company that sanctions Adware makes an “Anti-Adware” tool.

I’ll stick with Ad-Aware from Lavasoft and Spybot Search and Destroy from Kolla… no thanks, M$!

Geek Software of the Week: Small, Fast, Clean, and FREE PDF Reader!

When you want to display PDF documents what do you do? Most folks download Adobe’s PDF Reader, after all, it is free, right? Well, less and less… why do I say that? The “newer” versions of the Adobe Reader try and get you to download all kinds of other junk as well, and they also try to get you to use their “downloader,” which is installed on your system and pollutes your computer… then there is the fact that it is constantly asking you to upgrade it, instead of just displaying the PDF… and now, on top of all this, they have advertisements in it! NO, thanks!

World-wide “Big Pharma” has a Big Win!

The issue is complex, but today, while we celebrate our Independence and freedom here in the U.S., in Rome, representatives have voted in a provision that would make use of vitamins and supplements “restricted” and in the control of the Allopathic Medical Community, which… by and large, doesn’t even “believe in” them! You can read more about it here:
