SeaMonkey 1.0 is out!

As I said a while ago, I'll stop using Mozilla Suite as my browser when SeaMonkey 1.0 or Flock 1.0 comes out, whoever comes first. Well, it seems that SeaMonkey won.

As we can read here, this version was released yesterday, and it has some exciting features, from which I find the most interesting the "drag&drop reordering of tabs". I now wonder if Linux distributions will choose to define seamonkey as a replacement of mozilla suite or if they'll define it to be a fork, and thus maintaining both browsers. I hope they choose the first.

In the meanwhile, those developers could get some time in doing a better logo, since this one sucks in a black background, as you can see...

Patents, Copyright, DRM vs. Evolution

What’s so fundamentally wrong with bogus patents, trivial patents, software patents, copyright term extensions, limiting interpretations of copyright, digital restrictions management and digital copy-protection laws (among other things)?

A lot. It limits the evolution of human culture. Lawrence Lessig has explained how and why, several times, in his presentation ‘free culture’.

Watch it here (Flash needed):

Goobuntu?

Rumors say that Google is going to release an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, known internally as Goobuntu. If this is truth it is really good news. I just wonder why Goobuntu and not Gookubuntu (based on Kubuntu, and thus KDE). If they go with the idea, and I hope they do, the only "bad side-effect" I can see of this is that KDE would loose user-base to Gnome... But this are good news overall.
