A Free Software Business Model for Space Fighter Ace
http://blog.kibabase.com –
I promised I’ll answer shawn42’s challenge in the first mailbag edition that I will explain and outline a business model for the future, usually involving free software or copyfree software.

A quick interview about Libre.fm
http://ideas.libre.fm –
"I'm just writing up an article about the Libre.fm project which I hope can help to promote the idea and spread the word. I wondered if you could give me a quick outline of why you set it up and/or what you aim to achieve with it. Nothing epic just a couple of lines I could include would be really great.

Open source apps are no small free beer
http://www.guardian.co.uk –

Linux the cool factor part 3 - Freedom -
http://www.handlewithlinux.com –

The Losing Battle Against Technology Freedom
http://penguinpetes.com –
Even notice that you can hardly use a computer anymore without being in somebody's cross-hairs? Somebody, somewhere, is always out to get you. All we want to do is use these clever devices they keep making for us to buy, and be happy and not bother anybody. But somebody out there apparently didn't learn how to play nice with others.
