„Despite inroads by Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS, which has demonstrated success with Motorola among other handset vendors recently, ABI Research believes that Symbian will continue to lead the market for cell phone standardized operating systems. In a market that is still driven by proprietary OS, on the order of 98% this year, Symbian, Microsoft and Linux are fighting over a small portion of the total handset market. But 2% of handsets shipped - essentially all handsets defined as "Smartphones" -- still amount to about 10 million handsets a year.“http://www.stargeek.com/item/10479.html - Cached

„The fact that Motorola is selling its stake in Symbian (the corporation) doesn't mean that Motorola is stopping selling Symbian (the software) in its phones.

„ 'Not the sharpest of knives' - praise heaped on Linux study author, May 21 2004Over now to Tanenbaum himself, who has made an entertaining attempt to set the record straight here (you may not get in right now, as traffic is already heavy). He observes that Brown, who flew to Amsterdam to interview him in March, is "not the sharpest knife in the drawer", and says: " I quickly determined that he didn't know a thing about the history of UNIX, had never heard of the Salus book, and knew nothing about BSD and the AT&T lawsuit. I started to tell him the history, but he stopped me and said he was more interested in the legal aspects.“http://www.linux.org/news/publication/ 00005.html - Cached

„The information IBM sought is at the heart of the case, a bold lawsuit SCO began in March that alleges IBM moved technology from Unix to Linux against the terms of its contract with SCO, violating trade secrets in the process. SCO is seeking $3 billion from Big Blue, and is also trying to compel Linux-using corporations to license SCO's Unix. The judge's decision is one of the first moves in a case that will affect not just IBM but also other computing giants including Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, SAP and Dell that have embraced Linux.“http://www.muddysmind.com/archives/ cat_linux.html#000625 - Cached

„in keeping secrets of silent earth is the second installment of a sci-fi concept album by this quartet, which picks up in all respects where their debut, second stage turbine blade left off. yes, lead singer claudio sanchez does sound a little like geddy lee, and joshua eppard's drums aren't unlike what we'd expect from neil peart, and yes, the whole concept album is a little 2112 but I don't expect tom sawyer to appear on their next album.“http://www.burningdoor.com/steve/archives/ 2003_12.html - Cached
„Now, this isn't saying that suddenly I don't support Symbian, and rah-rah Moto/Linux. But what I am saying is that if Motorola really, truly, honestly, and actually goes through with this plan, I can't fault them for it. If I was running my own cellphone manufacturer I'd pick this plan as well.“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1004068.html - Cached
