Sun contemplates buying Novell 08/02/2004 04:29 AM
AN INTERVIEW with Sun's president Jonathan Schwartz in today's Wall Street Journal quotes him as saying his firm could buy Novell and other firms to position itself against IBM in the marketplace. In fact, according to the article, Sun discusses takeovers every day, Schwartz tells the Journal and is in a position to do so because of its vast cash reserves.

He told the newspaper that a Novell acquisition would wrong foot IBM and Red Hat, but he also said that Sun hadn't formally opened acquisition talks with the Utah based company. Novell may not want to be seduced by Sun Microsystems.

Why the Sun-buying-Novell rumor is

There was a huge amount of ink (both virtual and physical) spent on the non-story of the year circulating last week about the possibility of Sun buying Novell.

Last issue, I took apart the rumor that Sun might be about to acquire Novell by looking at what Sun would have to pay compared to the value of the products that it might get - and be able to use. Today, we'll look at some of the intangibles that might also be part of the deal.

Novell federal buying deal comes with

Novell federal buying deal comes with
new fed workforce blood 07/26/2004 04:03 AM
No one thinks Novell's recent deal to participate in a federal IT purchasing program will open the floodgates to Linux and open source in Uncle Sam's boxes, but the deal coincides with a trend toward a younger federal workforce set to replace aging workers, and the technology that they use as well.

possible future of Novell education 06/05/2005 11:57 PM
A couple of weeks ago we were speculating about the possibilities of a Certified Novell Engineer educational track for Open Enterprise Server. I mentioned the possibility of somehow combining the NetWare 6 CNE with the Certified Linux Engineer certification Novell offers for SuSE Linux (NetWare and SuSE are the two components of OES).

Scott Rosenberg puts well what should be our dismay about the return of Russia to authoritarianism. Snippet: So what if Russia's "war on terror" is an entirely different conflict from the United States' "war on terror"? Let's roll these conflicts up, unite our enemies and delude ourselves that Russia's decade-long war with Chechen guerrillas is morally aligned with the U.S.'s struggle against the perpetrators of 9/11. Yup, President Bush looked into "Pooty-poot's" soul and saw a good man. Now we see what happens when you base politics on appearances instead of facts.....

dAnAh is upset - again

dAnAh is upset - again 03/14/2005 05:09 PM

So it was about a year ago - that danah boyd got real upset at me for posting an image of a host of a party (we were putting on) having fun. She felt as though it wasn't a very professional way of promoting a 'professional' party.

I stated at the time how full of shit I thought that was - and I even caught danah herself - teh next night - having plenty of fun at some party - so I'm not sure how she differentiates when people can have fun and under what circumstances. Suffice is to say my definition ain't the same as hers. But it appears that she's mapping all her feminist hostility towards me - I guess cause I'm some loud mouthed, large MALE.

So first let me apologize for having a penis.

Now a year later here's danah - all upset at the guidelines for speakers at SXSW. It seems that "Culturally enforced etiquette has never been my thing".

My - how the tables have turned.

So what's the difference between using my friend's photo to promote a party and "culturally enforcing" YOUR view of what YOU think is appropriate?

I say let SXSW do their thing, you do your thing and let's all just get along together!

But at least danah is getting caricatured. That's pretty dam coolio.

I've been caricatured - too.

More EU Governments Upset Over Their

More EU Governments Upset Over Their
Ministers' Vote On Patents 07/07/2004 09:09 PM
Yesterday, we noted that the Dutch Parliament had told their representative in the European Council to change his vote on the topic of softwar e patents, after they realized what was really voted for, and how that minister gave them incorrect information (which he somehow blamed on a "word processing error"). Now, it appears that the governments of other EU nations are similarly troubled by the supposed votes from their ministers. Germany claims their minister voted against their wishes, while Poland claims their minister was never actually asked to vote on the final version of the offering. Some are now hoping that these questions will at least force the Council to reconsider the issue, which, on the whole would be a good thing.
