The New York Times On Ubuntu: Half-Right
When an article about Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical, and Ubuntu begins with the words “They’re either hapless pests or the very people capable of overthrowing Windows. Take your pick,” then I’m fairly sure I’m not about to read a good article about any of the above. But that’s the first line of a piece about them in, incredibly, The New York Times.
Part of me remains unsurprised by the continually quizzical tenor of mass-media coverage of open source, for the same reason that the coverage of most anything technology-related tends to be lousy. Finer nuances get scrubbed down or ignored entirely, and hard-won distinctions are blurred.
