Whether you're talking about the Wii Latest News about Wii, the Xbox 360 Latest News about Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3 Latest News about PlayStation 3, the video game industry is on a record-setting pace for revenue in 2008.

"Skype fought the GPL and the GPL won. The OLPC XO project abandons free software just as RMS switches to an XO; RMS not happy. New monthly newsletters from the FSF and FSFE.

Plus all the usual news: more GPL v3 conversions, HURD news, GNOME news, GCC news, and more..."

Lots of Novell news ranging from SCO and Netware to hardware and people. WHAT a week of pranks it must have been for Novell. Between rumours of an IBM takeover to similar ones involving Microsoft, Novell sure needed a sense of humour. Here is another joke about Novell bidding for Linus Torvalds.
