The linux and open-source communities are brimming with innovation, something which is reflected every day from tabbed media players like &#8220;kaffeine&#8221; to sexy window managers like &#8220;beryl&#8221; and its crazy wobbly windows physics. Sometimes, the pretend innovation of companies like Microsoft (regarding the Windows operating system, at least), combined with the success of Apple&#8217;s television ads, breeds brilliant satire. Take this fake ad on YouTube, for instance:\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GVOnFdMf0RU\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GVOnFdMf0RU<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\nGreat stuff. First of all, nice touch with the smart, attractive woman. Too many men running too many tech companies wouldn&#8217;t have thought of that one (in the same way that using semi-naked people to grace Ubuntu&#8217;s original desktop was bold, but a bit much). I like how the idea of open source is related to &#8220;people just share stuff with you?&#8221; Clever. I also like how the other two OSs are resigned to their fate, while linux is portrayed as more open and agile. Nicely done.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\nThis blog entry is brought to you by Drivel, an open-source blog editor that speaks about five blog protocols; it&#8217;s written on a KDE desktop, while watching &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; streaming from Stevo, my open-source PVR in the living room across my home-made gigabit network; KDE and linux are part of the KDE Ubuntu distribution, running on a homemade computer. Just about the only proprietary thing in this process is the SBC\/Yahoo internet connection. Don&#8217;t worry . . . one day, that too will be an open, community effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lack of ingenuity, running around pretending to be ingenuity, often breeds that quality in other endeavors.
