Android SDK released…dissapointment ensues
http://mobilemoko.net –
"Google released the Android SDK today and a cool video showing it off. Unfortunately this confirms my suspicion of an "open source" implementation that has quite a few strings attached. Based off impressions around the blog world, it sounds like there is no ability to build native applications, and everything must be developed in a java sandbox..."

http://www.itwire.com –
Linux desktop users looking for good financial software to run natively can forget about Quicken and Quickbooks.

Last week ~96.5% of Oracle shareholders voted to reject a resolution that would have forced Oracle to consider the social and environmental impact of using open source. No big surprise there.
