A Day in Paradise

I’ve always liked M.R., he’s a focused businessman whose goals line up roughly with those of the the open source community.

Yesterday linspire annouced a partnership with Canonical to use the Ubuntu OS as the new base for Linspire (a no-brainer choice as far as I am concerned), which will have the added benefit(?) of giving current Ubuntu users access to the Click n’ Run repository.

In his latest “michael’s minute” he challenged Steve Jobs to back up his latest rant against DRM by starting to distribute MP3s on iTunes Music Store. He also encouraged Apple to port iTunes to Linux and offered to do the engineering “if engineering resources were an issue”

I just discovered Songbird, which totally rocks as far as a bloated music system goes. I use foobar2000 for my daily music needs, and think directories are perfect ways to organize your files, but it does offer some nice looking features. Far better than iTunes, which I only use when I need to buy some DRM’d music of iTunes Music Store
