Was war diese Woche denn so wichtig? Nebst einer ziemlich grossen Passwortsammlung gab es da noch die 10 Year Challenge, welche auch ganz spannende Fragen aufwerfen kann. Abgerundet wird das Ganze mit einem langen Artikel über Open Source Software.

The internet, but not as we know it: life online in China, Russia, Cuba and India (theguardian.com)

More than half of the world’s population is now online, but that does not mean we all see the same thing. From being filtered by the government to being delivered by post, the internet can vary enormously depending on where you live. Here are four illustrated examples

Does Former Nikon Shooter Have Regrets After Switching To Sony? (alphauniverse.com)

The problem with overstaying your relationship with a brand is that, like any dysfunctional relationship, it works on a certain level. Your basic needs are met, your professional identity has been wrapped up in it, many friends know you through the brand, and you might even have logo coffee cups that cement the relationship. Changing all that just seems all too much to bear, especially if we think of ourselves as loyal people and not bandwagon folk. Maybe, you think to yourself, “if I just stick through this a little bit longer, it could get better. It might make all the waiting worth it. I could look smart.”

Guter Artikel, wie lange habe ich doch auf das nächste grosse Ding von Nikon gewartet… Unterdessen bin ich mit einer Sony unterwegs und ganz zufrieden.

How open source software took over the world (techcrunch.com)

It is also important to realize the increasing importance of the developer for these open-source projects. The traditional go-to-market model of closed source software targeted IT as the purchasing center of software. While IT still plays a role, the real customers of open source are the developers who often discover the software, and then download and integrate it into the prototype versions of the projects that they are working on. Once “infected”by open-source software, these projects work their way through the development cycles of organizations from design, to prototyping, to development, to integration and testing, to staging, and finally to production. By the time the open-source software gets to production it is rarely, if ever, displaced. Fundamentally, the software is never “sold”; it is adopted by the developers who appreciate the software more because they can see it and use it themselves rather than being subject to it based on executive decisions.
