Reading list for a rainy July day

• Here’s a very interesting, down-to-earth page about the iPhone by the FSF. It’s worth remembering this kind of issues that come along with the iPhone, as much beautiful and enticing it is.
• Some musings on OpenSim and metaverse interoperaility. But why does OpenSim have to be developed on C# and .Net?
• Autonomo.us : Now that’s what I had been thinking for some time; nice stuff and am glad to see the FSF seems to back that up. Surely it’s something Digistan should be interested in?
• In the same line of thinking, this excellent post by Jay Cousins on data portability  and social networking in the age of Cloud Computing.
• Adobe’s sequel to Buzzword, the most elegant online word processor, is not just fully integrated into Adobe’s latest online services. It does export to ODF!
• Talking about ODF, the OOXML bunch gets weirder and weirder every day. And Rick Jelliffe is at it too.
• Marc Radcliffe explains everything on the Red Hat patent settlement here.
• Interesting paper coming from the Future of Media 2008 conference. TV addicts, that’s worth a read…
• Last but not least: I’m on Identi.ca. Why does its matter? It’s Twitter open sourced, distributed, and runs with Open ID. That’s why. 

Have fun this week-end!
