OT: Bill Gates |
A Fox in Bill's Henhouse

More than 17 million people have downloaded the free Web browser from
Mozilla.
By Steven Levy
Newsweek
Jan. 24 issue - Microsoft's nightmare-well, one of them-is tucked
away in the back of a Mountain View, Calif., office park. Decorated in
"Mad Max" style (exposed wires, weird equipment lying around and a huge
model of a suspension bridge built from soda cans on which a plastic
Godzilla rages), the Mozilla Foundation employs only a dozen or so
programmers. But they are the tip of an iceberg of thousands of geeks
who, via the participatory open-source model, donate their time and
brainpower to creating software that presents an alternative to the
mighty empire in Redmond. Notably, a Web browser called Firefox.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
