17. June, 2003 - Rumors of WWDC
- Mac Rumors: WWDC 2003 Rumor Roundup covers the 970s, new PowerBooks, Panther, and more. Guess we’ll know for sure in about a week.
- DMZ Twist: U.S. Retreat Unsettles North Korea. Interesting. See the US is pulling troops back from the DMZ, and it’s unnerving both the North and South Koreans. International relations sometimes seem pretty odd, and this is one of those cases.
- Online Locator Software Use Grows, mostly as a way for monopolies like MLB or the RIAA to restrict access to digital content geographically. They look up your IP address in a big database, and can usually figure out where you’re located, which will determine what you can see online.
- What does the SCO Unix code reveal? Well, at this point, it looks (according to leaks from people supposedly under NDA) as though SCO might have a credible case against someone, but not necessarily against IBM.
- Meanwhile, Linus Torvalds leaves Transmeta to wrok full-time on the Linux kernel.
- Gun-ban postings divide firms as some customers are offended by the signs, and others are afraid to shop if there’s not a sign there.
