Google vs. Java
In case you do not follow technology (ok, so why are you here?), Oracle, the company that bought Sun Microsystems, wants Google to pay for each instance they use Java. Originally, when Android was developed (and no, Google did not invent Android, they bought it years back) they went to Sun to use Java. Now [...]

Read to Children: DENIED in Belgium

Doctorow’s First Law
Cory Doctorow churns out great fiction and even greater ( yeah, I know, grammar…) literature on Creative Commons, Copyright, and the state of idiocy facing us from the publishing companies. He created a great audio book, For the Win, about the rise of gaming businesses, playing the games for profit, across the globe. He wrote a great [...]
