Everything changes
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Suddenly the world seems to have changed, one way or the other.
First, Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated by a suicide bomber: a disaster for Pakistani politics (if not world politics), as far as I can tell.
Then, there’s the fact that digital storage is much more costly and problematic than traditional film storage. Or the fact that Alexander Graham Bell didn’t invent the telephone. Or that the Sistine Chapel is now copyrighted by the Vatican (public domain? We’ve heard of it…).
Although perhaps the most technologically significant story of the day is the latest chapter of the SCO v its customers saga: they’ve been delisted from Nasdaq. Seems a fitting punishment for what appears to be their corporate misbehaviour to me…
