Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...
Isn’t anyone concerned that the SMH article (here: http://tinyurl.com/3kyvsy) is slanted in Ebay’s favour, and seems biased?
Every statement prefers ebay’s side of the argument.
Meanwhile in the same week, (http://tinyurl.com/6offea) they write that docking Macs and Linux is difficult, even though Airport has performed the same functions described in the article and has been around for years and works seemlessly (and wirelessly, which these docking stations don’t). Most linux OS distros work with the docking stations.

“ Excellence is an art won by training and habituation: we do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have these because we have acted rightly; ‘these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions’; we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit: ‘the good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life… for as it is not one swallow or one fine day that makes a spring, so it is not one day or a short time that makes a man blessed and happy’

Ubuntu Locks netbook OS almost as bad as TIVO
The move to not release the ISO for Ubuntu’s Netbook Remix seems to lock in the operating system to the hardware it is preinstalled to ship with. Although it not as bad as TIVO not reciprocating to the open source community by requiring a digital certificate to install modified software on its hardware. this political move is comparable since it utilises the contributions of the open source community, but doesn’t make those contributions easily accessible to the community.
