Neutralidade

Carlos Afonso escreve no Oppi:

A neutralidade da Internet, como já alertava Lawrence Lessig há cinco anos, significa que os provedores de acesso e de infovias não podem controlar como os usuários utilizam a rede. Não podem censurar datagramas nem …

OK, we’re back and I’m in the process of merging my data and getting stuff back into place… updates later in the day.

So, it’s 6-6-6 in whatever date ordering you prefer, and this is supposedly the Number of the Beast. Or perhaps not. Do I care? Not really…

…it’s my birthday, however. This specific birthday is my 37th (in hexadecimal of course )and it’s a rare one, in that I’m not away on a trip. Last year my birthday present was a surprise, all right: I was at the WWDC keynote and listened to Steve Jobs announce the Mac-Intel switch. Later in the day I tripped on a San Francisco sidewalk and, fortunately, suffered no serious harm.

Hopefully, today will bring no serious surprises either way, and I’m looking forward to the positive ones that this year’s WWDC will bring. More details in a month or so…

I suppose you mean the PBS Cringely, but I think he’s wrong in many points. Why should Apple change the kernel, for instance? It makes no sense. I haven’t commented on this since I think all such speculation is premature until more of Apple’s plans are revealed at WWDC.

Hi there, it’s me again on the same topic. This is something that really interests me, since I need some Windows only apps to work, but would prefer to use Macs all day.

He did it again! One of his takes now is the kernel thing. Speed, he says.

What he writes makes some of sense, like the part on cross-licensing agreement. I still don’t buy it, though.

Any comments?

Well, I meant PBS Cringely (Robert E. Cringely). I didn’t remember the other Cringely, who has an X. instead of E.

I went to the site and saw I was wrong about the E. It’s an X. Well, anyway, it’s the PBS Cringely!
