Today I ran across another entry in the growing list of refutations of Chris Anderson’s Free: The Future of a Radical Price. This time it’s an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education featuring the story of Berkley Physics professor Richard A. Muller. In a nutshell, Anderson uses Muller as an example in Free of [...]

Full disclosure: I have not read, and have no intention of reading Wired editor Chris Anderson’s new book “Free: The Future of a Radical Price.” This is mainly because I think that Anderson is a deluded cybertopian freetard, and I have no intention of giving money to someone who is exhorting the rest of us [...] A few days ago my esteemed comrade John Welch wrote up a very insightful post about the issues surrounding the Amazon Kindle’s text to speech features and Author’s Guild response. I’m not going to revisit the specifics of the situation. If you’re unaware of them go and read John’s post, but I did want to add some [...] In order to avoid confusion, I will henceforth refer to “Free” in the sense of the Free Software Foundation means it as “Fwee.” For a guide to pronunciation, see the scene in Lord of The Rings where Smeagol represses Gollum.

What sort of rampaging moron would actually run a hackintosh as a proper server? I can understand the impetuous for the average freetard to build a hackintosh for personal use. They’re [...] In response to the whiny fucknuts who pissed an moaned over Apple serving up a side of Safari along with the latest iTunes update on Windows (see my rant here), Apple updated their Software Update client for Windows to distinguish between “new” and “updated” software. So, there you go, Apple bows to the community and [...] This tickles me. The maroons at Linux.com felt compelled to write an in-depth article about how the iPhone developer program is not compatible with “Free Software.” Ignoring the biggest flaw in their article, which is assuming that the NDA restrictions currently being imposed on the developers in the beta program will also apply to developers once the [...]  |
