..I loved the Solaris OS. It was the first unix system i had a long time experience with and i loved its robustness and the fact that it would run smooth on old servers you could pick up for nothing on eBay. Since Oracle bought Sun it has been going downhill for Solaris; Earlier this year the OS became non-free and now OpenSolaris is getting the cold shoulder from Oracle as wewll – http://nexle.dk/l/qin – a little sad. Thanks @Oracle!

RIP Google Wave - http://nexle.dk/l/e9z …. Come on @google!!, you should have kept pushing through with Wave – such a bold vision. Of course it was early days – maybe most people didn’t quite value or understand the potential yet?.. At least some(/all?) of it is open source but we needed a giant to push it through. Shame shame.

A moderately interesting (but admittedly too long and slightly boring in spots) interview with Netscape founder and VC Marc Andreessen. Topics are around social networks (including FaceBook, Ning, Google, LinkedIn etc.), the newspaper business (having a go at the NY Times in relation to future of the print edition), his new investment fund, historic tech trends and more.

Very good example where an underdog beats the big money..

“Connecticut startup Kayak has raised $223 million in venture capital and employs 58 people to build and grow its travel search site. Its chief competitor, San Francisco based Mobissimo, has raised $1 million
and has just 15 employees. Mobissimo also became profitable last year,
and the company doesn’t have to raise more money unless it’s to fuel
faster growth or acquisitions.

It’s also clear even from a cursory comparison of the two sites that
Mobissimo is trying harder than Kayak to help you find exactly the
flight and hotel you are looking for. Kayak is largely similar to other
travel search sites – enter where you want to go and get back results
from a number of providers, sort by price, etc.”

Although I do not trust Linux in every scenario and application, Oracle has just made a pretty great announcement (and cheeky too!) to provide enterprise support for Linux (Oracle DB or not) for Red Hat installations at rates beating Red Hat’s own prices with more than 60% and the best part – they backport bugfixes like Sun has always done and can provide a before unseen indemnity support for Linux IP lawsuits… this is very exciting I think!! Larry Ellison’s presentation was quite good too (link on Oracle front page) and hopefully it will all mature the Linux market a bit;

“Google testing Sun’s OpenSolaris, sources say (September 20 2006, 12:00AM)

Despite so-so interest among open-source developers, Sun’s OpenSolaris is getting attention from Google, which is eyeing the operating system as a possible replacement for Linux in its data center, according to sources. ”

This is interesting and would be good for the momentum of OpenSolaris… I think the world could use some more Solaris and less Windows and Linux….
