• The Rise and Fall of Twitter - I don't suppose you're really allowed to use Hitler in comedy (unless you're Mel Brooks). But this is pretty funny.
• Maybe everything (not just VMware) violates the GPL | The Open Road - The Business and Politics of Open Source by Matt Asay - CNET News - Or none of this violates the GPL. It gets into subtleties of linking and specific technical relationships. Becomes academic with VMware's embedded hypervisor anyway.
• Report: Intel’s Atom chip, Netbooks demand strong | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com - I've been skeptical about the netbook category but at least some preliminary indications of sales strength there.
• 50 Photoshop Tutorials For Sky and Space Effects | Tutorials | Smashing Magazine - I especially like the alien invasion one.
• NEWS! - Micro Four Thirds System - Dave's Analysis - Good analysis of four thirds photo systems.
