Second Life Faces Open Source Challenges 198
ruphus13 writes "Linden Labs has talked about Open Sourcing aspects of their platform for a while, but have not always followed through. Now, the OpenSimulator project has been gathering some solid momentum, and this was followed by an announcement by IBM that showed interoperability between OpenSimulator and Linden Servers. What this means is that you can use a Second Life client to log on to an OpenSim server. Beyond that, anyone can run their own server. 'Working with the protocols derived from the official Second Life client, and a knowledge of how Second Life works, these people have implemented their own compatible server code.' It is only a matter of time before users will be able to move profiles, virtual goods, and other elements of their 'second life' on to any server in a truly open world, thereby threatening Linden Labs' virtual world experience. With Google and Sun at the fringes of this space, things are going to get very interesting, virtually speaking."

Submission + - EU chief turning Japanese
An anonymous reader writes: When it comes to alternative-energy vehicles, European car makers fail. In fact, the top environment official of the European Union has decided to abandon his European car (a Mercedes-Benz) for a Japanese hybrid.
According to the recently published article http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article223767 5.ece, "Despite claiming to put climate change at the top of their agenda, Europe's most senior officials have — so far — made little effort to lead by example with car choices.
And in the face of fierce opposition from Europe's luxury (and C02-emitting) manufacturers in Germany, the Commission is backing away from plans to impose strict emission limits on cars across Europe. It is the refusal by the Commission to practise what it preaches that is causing most amusement. Heavy C02-emitting Mercedes and BMWs are the most popular means of travel among the EU's 27 commissioners, though Britain's Peter Mandelson uses an equally thirsty Jaguar."
