This looks like a positive step, likely to bring new money into iStock and make it flow more freely towards photographers. I'll need to resume uploads (I need the rejection slips!)

Steve Pepper continues his blogging experiment.

Given the E51 is now standard issue for Sun in Europe I guess lots of people will need one of these, given Nokia neither made the thing charge from the mini-USB connector it uses to connect to the computer nor included this dongle.

As I recall, MySQL has had non-Free software in its service/subscription cloud for quite a long time, so I'm a bit puzzled why it's suddenly become an issue. Maybe as part of Sun there's no longer cause for a suspension of judgment?

Strength or weakness of the open source model? My take is it will just validate Google without ptoviding serious competition since it offers no deployer security (as in confidence, not as in hackproofness).

When Sun or some other company open sources some code i remember you praising it, and now Sun closes some parts of MySQL and here you are defending it?
I really want to understand, what kind of Open Source supporter are you? to what depth? Is there any My Personal Stance on FOSS statement from you?
I may sound rude, but its not mean to be.

@troll: Which part of MySQL has Sun closed? If you read reliable sources instead of Slashdot you'd know that nothing of the sort has happened. Just some anonymous griefers seeding FUD by misrepresenting what MySQL was already doing before Sun bought them. And it worked - they played on peoples fears and produced stupid knee-jerk reactions like the one you just posted.
