Links: Sean Daly, KDE, swpat, chessboxing

Posted by ciaran on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 0

Groklaw now has a page of Sean Daly’s interviews – I’ve been asking for this for a while.
Old article about privacy problems with Google’s desktop software – I started looking into this because I read an article about the new version of KDE boasting that Google’s desktop software could now be integrated into KDE. That’s bad, not only because Google’s desktop software is proprietary, but also because it gives Google complete access to your data and their privacy policy is strongly criticised by Privacy International.
Free as in Free Champagne! – Erik Josefsson notes the 3rd anniversary of our massive software patent victory in his usual style. Erik played the lead lobbying role in that campaign and must have lots of great stories to tell, so I always find his short, infrequent, casual blog entries bemusing. (I’m giving this a low-key mention since I hope to blog about it again later this week.)
Article about chess boxing – 11 rounds alternating between chess and boxing where a contestant wins by checkmate, knockout, or points.
