- benanzo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+77I don't think anyone is worried about SCO anymore.
- baalzebub, on 10/10/2007, -5/+66microsoft is the new SCO...
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -1/+54Well, it figures because Google runs pretty much all their stuff off of Linux.
- TheRealToma, on 10/10/2007, -3/+47Im starting to really like Google. :( Is it possible to be a Google Fanboy?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+39Hopefully MS will see that they going to become an outcast, if they continue their bullish ways.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+36On a side not, I take this opportunity to make a statement: "NOBODY GET INTO THE SilverLight TRAP!"
- MrARPA, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33If you research SCO's funding you'll find Microsoft was the "old" SCO too.
- Myztry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21This is great news. Microsoft's protection racket is failing. They'll have to find means other than 'hinting' they'll beat up the patrons. Unless they want to get an all deserved beating back.
The dark days of Mafia like 'agreements' are coming to an end at last. - Ratatosk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Great move by Google. They have joined many other open source organizations too:)
- willx99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Wow, you were in such a rush to correct masterthief that you completly disregarded the fact that on and off are basically interchangable here.
For example:
Q: Where did you get those directions?"
A: "I got them off the internet."
Your not saying you got them offline your saying your source was the internet.
Im sorry I just hate ***** that would jump at the chance to prove someone wrong without even reading for context. - manicallday, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Actually yeah. If they improve on their word processing program then Google will have the last piece of the puzzle fixed.
- swoopdog, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14yeah it is, I too am a google fanboy.
when business does everything right they are impossible to hate. - cjnkns, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10This is good news indeed
- 4U55l3NlNJ4, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11MS - unreliability & vulnerabilities.. keep using that OS unitheory, like birds of a feather.. a loser using a loser OS..
- goffy59, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12I like Microsoft window xp, direct x and their developers. Just not how the company works. Truth is, windows can do more then the apple OS. Just think about it. The only reason it has more problems because it has more features and more hardware to choose from. I tried using mac, but all of a sudden I felt like the only thing I could do on a mac is watch videos/listen to music/check my email. Can I go out and build my OWN computer and install mac on it? Well can I? Never heard of that before.
But I certainly do support Linux and google :) After all, Linux has more drivers then any OS in history. And google is just awesome. I'm glad they are doing this. - jonesin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Here's the OIN press release
http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/press_release08_06_07.php - MeneerR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It's more like a cold war type of strategy. When Linux is attacked by patent trolls (say Microsoft). They will use their patents to destroy ALL the other ecosystems as well. They would sue Microsoft for violating Linux patents, etc.
Even if Microsoft is not the one suing. The destruction of both the linux and microsoft ecosystems will surely wake up politicians. - xenlab, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9mono != linux - they are different projects. And mono is not a direct copy of .NET - Its acts as a CLR Compiler... conforming to the spec MS put out.... which is why you can mix languages in .Net (and Mono).
- arjie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I think they'll protect more than just the kernel. They do have patents in areas that I don't think the kernel is involved.
http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/pat_owned.php - dattaway, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12Always someone willing to claim the property of others. If it wasn't the name "Linux" itself, its now a land grab for all the code in an obfuscated legal language. In the Land of The Free, everything has to be owned.
- phaed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Of course they do. They are not dumb. Who the hell wants to be dependent on Microsoft.
- NoTiG, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9So is this just the kernel that is protected? Or other things like mono?
- HonoredMule, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Unfortunately, the largest of those capacities is shoveling refuse down the user's mouth, and the rest are almost completely untapped.
- init100, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That Microsoft could be considered to be the next SCO has nothing to do with marketshare, and everything to do with making threats left and right without any evidence at all.
- McLurker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"Is it possible to be a Google Fanboy?" You're new round here, aren't you?
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Man, is that gay gamers site still down? Why did so many of you wander into Digg?? Hey, I heard Pride.com had a really good article on booting up you might want to see
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It will track your computer usage on and off line.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5 Well,I like Google and hope they call MS's bluff.
- X-Cruciating, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Probably, there should be a FUD protection fund somewhere by now? We got to kick the hell out of M$'s butt!
- FutureGuy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4if you are confident there is not evidence, sue it then, why doesn't anyone have the balls for that?
- cantormath, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4GO GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!
- nuxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2personally, I'd say Novell can suck my nutsack....but they've already got a mouthful of Microsoft, so I'll just let 'em finish.
- MrARPA, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Frankly it's never bothered them before ...
- init100, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2They don't do everything right. The cooperation with Chinese authorities is one thing they did wrong (not wrong from a business viewpoint though). Another problem with Google is the sheer potential for data mining that they have.
That said, they do many things right too. A simple search page. Non-intrusive ads (e.g. text ads and no popups). Etc, etc. - TheShad0w, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Are you an idiot? You do realize that Google has been one of the financial contributers to the Linux foundation for a while now. You also realize that they have released several tools and libraries to the open source community. Where the heck your insane and illogical claims come from is completely beyond me.
- oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3off _of_ linux
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3 I agree...because even if they became an outcast,they would not see it that way.
I'm just hoping this whole thing blows up in their face and the IBM dog gets sicked on um. - tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I don't think you can sue a company for posturing and threatening lawsuits.
- motang, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Good Linux side can use someone like this.
- cwall658, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Google talk is based on the jabber protocol. There are quite a few jabber clients for linux gaim/pidgin being one of them. They provide instructions for set up on their site. As to file transfers - well, you can always send attachments via gmail, right? Doesn't seem to be a big issue
- FutureGuy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Coudn't agree more, my previous comment.
Google fanboy? haha it would be as like being Exxon fanboy. Google is the most cunning and hypercritical IT company. I love this comment made by their CEO "We believe Linux innovation moves fastest when developers can share their knowledge with full peace of mind.". I think search engine innovation can move forward faster if Google open sources its search engine code? How about that, can't eat its own dog food? - anzhansen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This is great news. Not sure what side Novell will take in this rivalry...
- lengau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That and the fact that Apache still has a bigger marketshare than IIS...
- unitheory, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1actually google's employees use a modified version of ubuntu
- mrsteveman1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Google's search isn't really a single application, and would probably be useless to anyone but their own engineers.
- cwall658, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Further, if google is so interested in protecting linux, why are the being complacent regarding adwords advertising and trademark dillution from other unix vendors. Not sure what I mean? Do a search for "linux" in google and see what the top paid search result is.
Allowing Sun to plug their OS as the most advanced OS on the planet when people are looking for linux is dirty pool, and google's response to a complaint was that they don't get involved.
In other words - we're getting money for this. - mrsteveman1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I seldom expect real production MS software to conform to their own specs.....it would be funny if Mono conforms better than .NET does.
- lengau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I just read the end of your comment as "and the IBM dog gets sick on um."
I was wondering how IBM vomiting on Microsoft would change anything. - mrsteveman1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Google OS, or a "Google version" of Linux, is a bad idea, particularly because of Googles relation to advertising. I wouldnt put it past them to integrate advertising into the system, just like Microsoft is trying to implement now with their new patents.
Google needs to stick to applications. - postalblowfish7, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2i don't understand all the pro-google sentiment. sure their algorithms can't be beat and google earth kicks ass - but ***** christ i hate google ads. why let one company control so much of the internet? absolute power corrupts absolutely.
