Summary: Another ordinary episode with a lot of interesting topics and news
TODAY'S show is a mixed bag of GNU/Linux, antiquated law, computer games, and Microsoft pretending to be "open". OpenBytes will publish the show notes very soon. We suffered from unusual connection difficulties which sometimes made the audio a little poor in terms of quality, but overall it should be easy to understand throughout. (Update 8/12/10: show notes are now available here)
"One would think that both sides of the pond would be very interested in this valuable commons and work to not just protect it but cultivate it further, rather than work to saw the legs from under it by advancing software patents instead."

Today's show ends with "Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame". We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed. You can also visit our archives for past shows. If you have an Identi.ca account, consider subscribing to TechBytes in order to keep up to date. ⬆
