Friday round-up
by The editorial team
Just a couple things this Friday, that we noticed in the news and want to share with you:
- Ever wanted to automate your home? Ever wondered if you could do so with open source tools? Wired tells you how.
- And of course we couldn’t miss this: The announcement that Microsoft is adding ODF support to Office. The great irony? Office doesn’t support OOXML, their proposed “standard.”
- A fun article on Digital image forensics from Scientific American.
- Also, a note of good news from a contemporary: Cory Doctorow’s new book Little Brother has been on the NYT best-seller list for 4 weeks in a row. This is the first creative commons-licensed novel to afford that honor. Congrats, Cory!
- More from Germany: Max Spevack’s last LinuxTag post.
And, dear readers, if you have a minute? We’d love for you to pick your favorite talks from our upcoming Summit schedule. Let us know what content you’d most like to see, so we know what to video-tape while we’re there.
