Stephen Fry Is My Hero (Even More Than Before)
Stephen Fry has long been a hero of mine for his acting and comedy, but I've just discovered that not only is he a geek, but he also gets it. From his blog regarding the iPhone:
Server side apps only. No, no, no, no, no. This is NOT good. It's one thing to want to keep the proprietary system closed, but to present a device sealed in digital Araldite is a Bad Idea. An Ubuntu flavoured Linux for mobiles is in the works, and you don't get more open source than that.
The full article is rather long but a very good read. Now I just want him to stop fawning over his iPhone and get back to making another series of QI, damnit!
