It’s happening again. Another bloated, proprietary industry is giving way to an “open-source” alternative.

The industry? Legal research.

With an increasing number of legal thoughts online, rather than locked behind LexisNexis or Westlaw, Fastcase was bound to arise. Fastcase is an up-and-coming competitor to these locked-down, costly services, offering …

Two fascinating factoids from Paul Kedrosky and the Wall Street Journal this day, neither of which relates to open source, but both of which gave me pause:

I laughed when I read Network World’s headline: “Wall Street Becoming Linux Stronghold.” Is it 1999 or 2008, I wondered? Linux has long found a warm reception on Wall Street, where enterprises view IT as a source for competitive advantage. Network World cites one analyst’s estimate that “Linux adoption among the 14 biggest investment firms this year will reach more than 72 percent of the installed operating server base vs. 60 percent in 2006.”

That’s large.

But the article goes beyond the “Wall Street uses a lot of Linux” argument and hones in on the next round of debate: Now that Wall Street has adopted Linux for technology benefits, are there licensing downsides?

To date, the answer has been ‘No.’ But this might well be because people haven’t thought enough about the stipulations open source might impose on Wall Street adoption:

Mac freak that I’m, it is with shame that I admit that it’s all Apple’s fault that Mozilla had to issue another Release Candidate for Firefox 3. No, it won’t have any impact on the final release date, which is still scheduled for June 17. But …

Glenn Fleishman of Macworld, Wi-Fi Networking News and TidBITS fame has written two new Leopard ebooks, both published today by Take Control Books. The new titles, Take Control of Back to My Mac and Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard, are part of the popular Take Control ebook series.

Take Control of Back to My Mac
provides many tips on how to get .Mac’s MobileMe’s problematic remote access service up and working for you, while Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard discusses the many tools available for sharing your Mac screen with others.

The books are $10 each, but if you buy both ebooks and enter CPN006780611BUN as a coupon code, you’ll get an immediate $5 discount. There’s no excuse to suffer in silence with Back to My Mac anymore!

In the interest of disclosure, I’ve written two titles for Take Control Books, neither of which are discussed in this post.
