Opinions: Has Microsoft lost its war on open source?
Is Microsoft a friend or foe of open source? Going by the company's actions, Microsoft can't seem to decide whether to make love or war. But if it's war, Microsoft appears to lack the legal weaponry to defeat or even disturb its adversaries.

Opinions: Ogg and friends challenge Flash
Mozilla has given US$100,000 to improve and develop Ogg Theora, an open source video codec being developed by the Xiph.org Foundation. Wikimedia will disburs funds over a six-month period. Although not the best-known video format, Ogg already has some major support from web developers. Theora will be built into Firefox 3.1, which is currently in Beta 2, as well as into Norway's homegrown browser Opera. Theora is also the video format of choice for all Wikimedia Foundation projects.

Opinions: Google's plug-in strategy for Chrome
I'm a big fan of Google's Chrome Web browser. Lightweight and fast, Chrome epitomizes the kind of "less is more" philosophy that has always appealed to my inner geek. However, I, like many Chrome enthusiasts, lament the lack of an established framework for implementing the myriad plug-ins and extensions that made IE bearable and Firefox one of the hottest Web development platforms going.

Opinions: Open source is dying -- or maybe it isn't
Put three geeks in a room and it won't take long to start an argument. Well, analyst Dennis Byron, veteran open source exec Stuart Cohen, and ex-Microsoft developer Keith Curtis weren't exactly in the same room, but all three have provocative opinions about the future of software in general and of open source in particular.

Opinions: This software brought to you by Ovaltine
Are we having a recession yet? Ask and ye shall receive. If the bad news keeps rolling in from Wall Street, coded phrases like "economic downturn" won't stop companies from acting as if the recession is already here.

Opinions: Should computer programming be mandatory for students?
If Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the State Board of Education have their way, soon every California student will have to pass an algebra test to graduate from the eighth grade.

Opinions: Nokia challenges developers to think outside the phone
You don't have to be a programmer to be a mobile innovator. All you need to do is open your eyes to the fact that a smart phone or QWERTY handset is a personal computer, sans legacy baggage. In the future, user-facing computers will have more in common with the high-end mobile devices of today than with the eight-core desktops and quad-core notebooks of 2009.

Opinions: SDK shoot-out: Android vs. iPhone
InfoWorld has been all over this week's official launch of Android, the new smartphone platform from Google. With its slick interface and open application platform, Android shows every sign of giving Apple's iPhone a run for its money when the first phones begin shipping in late October.
