Last year we posted an article about Indrema and their very cool linux gaming console. Althought the idea was great, call it bad timing. Their site is still up as nothing has happened but they have let all of their employees go. They only had about 50 employees at any one time. They let the remainder of their employees go last week. That is to bad. The idea was good, they should have just given it to someone else who could have done something with it. Good bye Indrema!
It looks like the NSA is going to throw some funds at Linux to help tighten up its security. The NSA is interested in a version of Linux that is kept more secure by restraining programs so they have only the bare minimum of privileges required to do their jobs. That would make it harder for attackers to take advantage of “buffer overrun” or “format string” vulnerabilities.

Try starting with this article from Intel. I mean come on, if Intel gets it, why can’t everyone else right? Highly recommended read. The page can be found here. They cover a lot of who is using Linux, what is changing, where it is going, how much it is growing by, etc, etc, etc. Basically, just memorize it, then go into your boss’s office and dazzle him/her.
Another case of stupidity trying to fight back

I personally think this is funny as heck. Hmm, let’s see. When Red Hat filed its IPO in 1999, the stock market went crazy and people became millionaires over night (meaning the people that work there). I call it funny money and a lot of stupidity. I mean come on, anyone that buys a share of stock at $150.00 on a company that has only been selling about 3 Million dollars worth of software a year has got to be STUPID!
