Subject: Better-late-than-never review: The ZaReason Limbo 6000A desktop computer running Linux Mint 12
I get offered products for review here and there. Usually those products are hard for me to get excited about. But a computer built for Linux, assembled in Berkeley, California, by the well-respected ZaReason? That was exciting. (Sorry it took so long for this review to see the light of day.)

Subject: Minecraft creator attacks Microsoft's Windows 8 plan
"Got an email from Microsoft, wanting to help 'certify' minecraft for win 8. I told them to stop trying to ruin the PC as an open platform," he wrote."I'd rather have minecraft not run on win 8 at all than to play along. Maybe we can convince a few people not to switch to win 8 that way," he added in the second message.

Subject: Openness is Alive and Well (and Living in Europe)
Last week I took something of a trip back through time. The transition began somewhere over the dark Atlantic on my way to Brussels, when the person sitting next to me struck up a conversation. Improbably, I found myself discussing ODF – the OpenDocument Format – with a former Sun engineer who had followed the ODF–OOXML contest with great interest back in 2005 - 2007.
