Thanks but no thanks.

Very sorry for this father. But I believe Apple has the right to deny this. Honestly, the story writer is trying to use a grieving father's emotions to hijack Apple, and ignorant of privacy and security, which I find stupid and sickening.

Sounds like it's gonna make a good Marvel comics.

nd are they ever tested in the wild? How do small companies expect to grow writing free software without investment from big companies who seek proprietary softwares? How do companies expect to profit with all their code published in public?

I don't think clang+llvm will just fail once Apple drops support. There are so many other companies supporting clang+llvm and use them to do important things. See: http://llvm.org/Users.html

Is XMPP dying right now? Cause if it is, it is sad. Google Chat may be the only XMPP chat that's supported by a big company. Companies want their own privatized protocol and bind their user in their own services: Whatsapp, Telegram, Line, Hangouts, iMessage and etc., and I can't talk to my friends if they're on a different service. Are we entering a age when good old Internet spirits are no more respected? Or is it just how this world should be in the first place?

I believe FOSS communities were built on mutual trust and respect, and therefore more vulnerable to such exploitation. I hate to see it myself, but is it time to raise the bar of security and protections? Still can't get my head around the motives. May someone just wanna watch the world burn?

1. Yes. And NSA has finally given them a good excuse now. 2. Same applies to the US government and Huawei threat case.

Really? Only $10?

A little tough talk? From Wikipedia, and I quote: "federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding nine more felony counts, which increased Swartz's maximum criminal exposure to 50 years of imprisonment and $1 million in fines." Anyone could be crushed by this sort of injust lawsuit.

Should be "begins". Just a typo which happens to everybody.

I am a Ubuntu fan. Jono has been ethusiastic on G+ and I've been enjoying to see his posts. I wish the next community manager would be just like him. Best wishes for the future to both Ubuntu and Jono.

Now the scroogle campaign made MS look so stupid.

Do you think all software should stick to the idea of free software? Do you think free software would gain more success if they are applied to certain bussiness models and let the free market decide? Like android, which is quite successful as open source?
