Welcome to Gaige's Pages 
Steve Jobs sends message to Greenpeace Apple's biggest name has finally sent a reply to Greenpeace about the environmental leadership (or lack thereof) of the Company. On May 2, Steve Jobs posted his second open letter, this time discussing Apple's environmental policies.
Sun adds engineering support to OpenOffice for MacAccording to an article from MacWorld, Sun has committed some engineering resources to getting OpenOffice running on the Macintosh natively.
Supreme court rules for innovative innovation Yesterday was a joyous day for all related to patents and technology! The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that patents require actual innovation, lest they be considered obvious. This does not completely remove all existing ridiculously obvious patents, but it does raise the bar for obviousness to the more sane application previously made by the Supreme Court in Graham v. John Deere Co of Kansas City.
Chicago to be US bid for 2016 OlympicsAccording to an article from the Washington Post, Chicago won the US bid to host the 2016 Olympics. What a great opportunity to show off more of the country! Good luck in 2009 for the actual bid and here's my early request for friends and family in the Chicago area to house us in 2016!
Jon Stewart discusses Viacom vs. YouTubeTechDirt has an article that references a clip from The Daily Show which is pretty silly, but contains what appears to be an honest statement from Stewart saying "But to me, the situation is that there's a ton to gain for both companies. Viacom, they put their content on YouTube, it gets exposure, people know about their programming... it's a win for everybody in this situation." Nice to know somebody gets it...
Grumble... Leopard delayedYes, I know it's not the end of the world. Yes, I know it's not Vista's 4-year trek through the world of vaporware. Yes, I'm aware that I'm not currently writing anything that depends on it, but there are some people I know who have been waiting for Leopard to be released to replace or augment systems. But, in the end it's going to mean a better iPhone and a better OS X Leopard for all products.
RIAA killed what they were trying to saveIt's not surprising to read an article that describes the RIAA as having done something stupid, but here's an op ed piece from the New York Times by an independent record seller who directly blames them for the demise of that which the RIAA was trying to save: albums, CDs... and the missteps that were made on the way here.
BusinessWeek looks at Greenpeace and AppleGreenpeace has been leading the charge against Apple in recent years because of what it claims are their particularly bad environmental policies. However, this article from Business Week points out that Apple's more likely than not being picked on because of its position in the marketplace, not because of the toxins that they're selling.
Vista sells 2X XP in the same timeSounds pretty good for Microsoft's new head of the pack. Although the folks at ARS Technica have some comments that bring into question whether this is because of new PC growth or not. Even so, new PC growth itself may have been helped by pent up demand for Vista... we'll see.
Computerworld on why Microsoft should be concernedIt's not a Microsoft-bashing column, but this Computerworld article by Scot Finnie, Computerworld's online editorial director, takes Microsoft to task over what he sees as ignoring demands in the market and Apple's recent moves. In particular, he's talking about the enterprise, so he doesn't go into the XBox vs. AppleTV argument, etc.
