Why Open Source works

Great animated video that breaks down exactly what drives people to succeed and be all they can be. Although I was mainly thinking of open source as I watched this, I can see the idea working in other industries. Really interesting and fun to watch.

OpenOffice 3.0 is out!

Published 1 year ago, in Blog, Mac OS X, Technology

Yup, an official release of OpenOffice from Sun version 3.0 has arrived! I’ve just downloaded it, and gave Writer (the Word-type app) a little whirl. The interface seems a little sluggish on the Mac, with several menus and actions taking quite some time to execute when you first click them (after you’ve used it once, it’s fast enough). Even with those little faults, hey, I’m not complaining, it’s free, open source and it’s still faster than Microsoft Word on my OS X system. OpenOffice should be fine for my slim office suite needs. Give it a download and share your experiences!
