Submission + - Apple's next revolution should be in your car (infoworld.com)

eetc writes: InfoWorld's Galen Gruman surveys the sorry state of car makers' stereo and navigation systems: "It's clear that most of the auto companies that offer more than a car stereo want to lock you into their interface and services — as awful as they are. The rest don't care. The aftermarket stereo and nav systems are no better. Stuffed with even more buttons and light-show gewgaws, they're sure to keep your eyes off the road and may not work easily with your stuff. Add to that mix the split focus of also having to use a separate GPS unit in most vehicles, and you have to wonder what keeps our roads so relatively safe." The answer in one word: iCar. This is just the sort of broken market that Apple specializes in taking over.

Submission + - Is GPL Licensing in Decline? (infoworld.com)

GMGruman writes: "Simon Phipps writes, "As Apache licenses proliferate, two warring camps have formed over whether the GPL is or isn't falling out of favor in favor of the Apache License." But as he explores the issues on both sides, he shows how the binary thinking on the issue is misplaced, and that the truth is more nuanced, with Apache License gaining in commercially focused efforts but GPL appearing to increase in software-freedom-oriented efforts. In other words, it depends on the style of open source."
