Nice work guys !! Stick it to them and keep it up... wars suck and government just love to have them

exactly.

skype was properly protected from prying government eyes. MS will open the flood gates, and in return get more uptake from the government sectors.
Corporates with anything to hid will run back to blackberries

i agree. Ted's project is similar.
The link data project and the RDF and SparSql aspects are highly useful IF they can get it all open source and get people using it.
because its part of the W3C it has a good chance of gong somewhere.

There are some Gui toolits based on top of it too now. There is a nice demo here.

ah money and greed getting in the way of civilised progress again.

I was just thinking that the whole problem with Xanada would be that information is in Silos, and they like it that way so that you can charge money to get access to those silos.

DITA open toolkit if similar in some ways and fully open.

Single Sourcing is a term in the publishing industry that allows you to repurpose content. To do it you hold the content in small parts and then compose it.
This guys system could be based easily on the single sourcing open source code base.

It is designed to run in a browser too.

The end result is a open document format
There is also webODF which loads open documents into the browser and render them using plain html5, javascript and heavy use of css.

The 3D aspects of navigating from an Open document to see all its links could be done using the CSS transforms perhaps.

I think his idea is create, and you can choose to see the finsihed docuemtn OR the 3D linsk version. SO best of both world.

It would be good is a virtualBox VM all set-up and secure with the private replication key was made available.
With setting instructions. This would make it much easier for people to host a mirror, knowing it was secure.

Also it could be optimised to the bare minimum needed to do the serving and replication and nothing else.

what a load of bollocks.

1. He went to MS, because he know Google have a Social Network in the wings waiting to be launched. So he had no choice expect MS or Yahoo.
2. He did it now because he knows that google will have this style of search functionality as a bare minimum, and so he has to try to competee against the coming asteriod that will be googel Social.
3. He probably got a kick back from MS fro doing it. MS often do deals like this with kickbacks for the other party.

4. Oh and he is a bit of an A*&%#hole from what i hear

obvious

I also want to add a very important aspect to this.

NONE of this will happen unless the voting system changes. Its setup FOR the fat cats By the fat cats.
The fox is guarding the hens.

One vote for one person is the start of change to happen.

The may day riots should look like "walk in the park" compares to what should be happening.
But your average Joe is not hurting enough yet to get out there.

The irony is that people will wait until its too late. Until hyperinflation has kicked in (maybe 2 years from now ) and people are loosing their houses and businesses.
The larger companies will survive because they will just downsize and adapt. They can because as demands shrinks they can shrink supply and still stay afloat.

exactly and so the logical conclusion is the the problem in the monetary system.

digital things are virtual. It costs nothing to have a zillion copies.

But the author must make a living from writing.

The real issue then is WHY DO WE NEED PUBLISHERS ANYMORE....
They are reall the equivalent of Blockbuster or travel shops that used to sell airline tickets.

I wish that there was:
1. A web site that is syndicated with other web site for books.
2. Readers that were not drmed.

So do you think an author would then sell their digtial book without DRM ?
No, they might be a more lenient in regards to digitally loaning it to your friends.

So again it all comes back to the monetary system. It just does not make sense for things that are material based.
It does make sense for things that are time based such as labour.

Its a touch one as they say. Many contradictions of logic.

The other consideration is that html5 is coming along nicely.

Web sockets, background processes and soon serial device support.

The only binary compatibility will be the browser ( and thats already well and truly backed)

And then of coure there is NACL and pNaCL. This is c and c++ running as a sandboxed deamon in the browser.

I see web apps as the future and the straw that will break the camels back in regard to the cult of x486 instruction set.

"Trust me girlie. They are all rotten to the core.
I'm one of the good guys."
