Publishers sue Google - good better and ugly?

Publishers sue Google over book search project | Tech News on ZDNet

Enough has been/is being/will be said about this. The publishers and their minions would be thankfully forgotten just like the person who handed Plato the hemlock, or burnt Galelios book etc..

Good: Good of zdnet to carry this story.
Better: Providing Talkback feature on the story page, so that people can add to the cacophony.
Ugly??: Talkback
Do they(zdnet) really want your opinion (talkback?). What has my job category or subscribing to the spam mailing-list got to do with my opinions on Leeches vs Google??
Practice what you preach, mofos.

NYC street-demonstration against DRM

People are coming toghether, this is my contribution to the noise.

The Right to Read

I just stumbled across this, which starts as a sience fiction -
only that its happening right now and hell, its not even fiction anymore.

The Right to Read - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

Also now its:
The Right to Hear and See: see DRM, IPOD-ITunes, P2P, RIAA etc..

Why write this:
Other than to scream when pressed, I see it as replication and propogation of good, and maybe someone will be inspired to see the difference between buying music and buying cd/media
or the difference between buying words and thoughts and buying books and paper.

Google browser.

Sun and Google:

Google browser is a device to use connect to and browse the internet.
It has a light weight screen and midrange cpu running linux and other free opensource software. Actually its just a large touch screen.
Sun provides the hardware and Google the software, what would turn out to be the first web operating system.

Update: well its finally out and its all in there. Looks like its all coming true.
