Interesting Linux News for the Day – December 11, 2009
- Nouveau Driver Going in Linux 2.6.33 Kernel
- Reporters’ Roundtable Podcast: Google Chrome OS
- DRBD To Be Included In Linux Kernel 2.6.33
- Red Hat Open Sources SPICE Desktop Virtualization
- Nouveau NVIDIA Driver To Enter Linux 2.6.33 Kernel
- Mozilla Urges Users to Switch to Bing
- Honestly, I think this is an extremely bad idea. We’ll assume for the minute that Bing DOES have a better privacy policy. With the vast majority of people still using a Windows OS, adding Bing to the Microsoft products you use will provide even more information to Microsoft. They know what applications you use, what hardware you have, what sites you visit, and now everything you search for. That’s even assuming that you’re not using their Mail clients or anything like that. Giving that information to Microsoft is much more compromising than giving it to Google, regardless of Privacy Policy.

- It was only a matter of time, and frankly, I’m surprised it was this much time. We’ll see if Motorola/Verizon reacts like Apple, or embraces this as an opportunity.
