I just read very intresting article at IT Manager’s Journal that highlights seven business strategies for open source. After this I really don?t wonder why Microsoft is thread by Open Source Software. That is really hitting into their core business and I don’t think they have anything to stop where software development is evolving. Though, Even open source presents a large potential competitive advantage for hardware and software vendors, and vendors of complementary or substitute services. I still doubt what would I get by contributing actual open source project by writing the code?

Phones as status symbol

Sunday, May 2nd, 2004

As a gadget nerd I found very great article over at the Economist.com. This article brings up some interesting points about how youth culture is now using mobile phones instead of cars to define themselves. Less pollution, less traffic…
You find people who customize their phones by buying cool covers and uploading new software. Some are even modding their mobiles by themselves.
Funny how it goes, first it was a horse then came gold-watch and then cars… Now its a mobile. What next? a space shuttle or personal teleporter?
