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!
