High Tech Gossip; a YouTube Replacement; and How Apple's Helping the Linux Desktop Succeed

Izimi.com; better than YouTube?


From Rob Enderle at TechNewsWorld:
Mini-Microsoft, Steve Jobs' Secret Diary, and a Potential New YouTube

Rob looks at two blogs by anonymous employees of Microsoft and Apple respectively, that purport to give us an insider's look at what is going on in those companies. He winds it down with a look at a credible new alternative to YouTube, that avoids YouTube's censorship problem.


Doc Searls expains to us how Apple is unintentionally clearing the way for the Linux Desktop to establish itself:
Can Apple clear the way for the Linux desktop?


And for anyone who is concerned about how the new Daylight Savings Time that kicks in next weekend is going to affect their Linux computer, there is this article:
Preparing your Linux systems for the new DST

I think I'll just change the time manually, but for those who want to make it kick in automatically, it is doable.

You're welcome, John.

I've been dismayed at some of YouTube's censorship decisions. It would be really good to have a viable alternative that could get around that completely. Best of luck to you.
