links for 2008-08-28

  • Introducing Ubiquity
    Awesome new Firefox extension for those addicted to the command line. It's a smart command line for the web. Loving it so far (even if I haven't found a way to make it post delicious links).
  • Apple Advertising Misleading - Official
    Apple actually claimed that Java SE is not open source. Can someone please clue them in about OpenJDK and Harmony?
  • Full Disclosure and the Boston Farecard Hack
    "The benefits of responsibly publishing attacks greatly outweigh the potential harm. Disclosure encourages companies to build security properly rather than relying on shoddy design and secrecy, and discourages them from promising security based on their ability to threaten researchers. It's how we learn about security, and how we improve future security."
  • Dancing Baby v. Universal: Baby wins!
    "Copyright holders must assess whether material has been used fairly before they demand that it be taken off the internet, a US court has ruled." -- Hopefully this will have a chilling effect on those who seek to gain or protect unfair advantage by use of chilling effects.
  • Manual, and still no reply to my delicious ticket.

Apple and open source.. bit of an oxymoron... Does Apple have any software based on open source and are they actively involved in any open source community?

Mark: Yes and yes, actually. That's why their ignorance about OpenJDK (wilful or otherwise) is inexcusable.
