jfruhlinger writes: "OpenOffice.org, now separate both from corporate sponsor Oracle and the Document Foundation's LibreOffice, is in trouble, with Team OpenOffice putting out a dramatic press release detailing the organization's trouble. One missing player in all this is IBM, who has backed OpenOffice.org in the past. One possible reason for Big Blue's silence is that it might be a prelude to the killing of Lotus Symphony, its OpenOffice-based suite."

Submission + - U.S. Senator Wyden Raises Questions About ACTA Imp (activepolitic.com)

Submitted by bs0d3
bs0d3 writes: U.S. Senator Ron Wyden questions Obama's authority to sign acta without Congressional approval. In a written letter which can be found here, he questions if the President can really do this. "It may be possible for the U.S. to implement ACTA or any other trade agreement, once validly entered, without legislation if the agreement requires no change in U.S. law," Wyden writes. "But regardless of whether the agreement requires changes in U.S. law... the executive branch lacks constitutional authority to enter a binding international agreement covering issues delegated by the Constitution to Congress' authority, absent congressional approval."
