Camino, the best Gecko-based browser NOT named Firefox 3, has just been updated to version 1.6.3. This update, which seems to have rolled in 1.6.2 along with it (at least I never got the 1.6.2 notification, and I use Camino pretty frequently), sports the latest update to the Gecko 1.8.1 branch, including several critical stability and security repairs with better ad-blocking. Plus, it no longer crashes if a pop-up is displayed while dragging a bookmark.

Although Firefox 3 is now a largely native Cocoa application, I still appreciate Camino’s interface and speed. If nothing else, it’s great to use as a Firefox 2/Gecko 1.8.1 testing agent when developing websites for compatibility.

You can download Camino here; optimized builds aren’t available as of this writing, but check this site over the next few days for updates.

Microsoft has gone on the Wii attack, arguing that 60 percent of Wii Fit units sold go unplayed or, rather, that they’re played once and then never played again.

Microsoft…went on to call the Wii Fit a “gimmick”, and said that Microsoft was working on creating interfaces that

Motorola quietly released a series of new Linux-based mobile phones this week. There’s been a lot of noise around Symbian moving to open source and Google’s Linux-based Android mobile platform, but both open-source Symbian and Android are still just press releases and talk.

Motorola’s new ROKR line, …

This day the Linux world broke out the champagne to celebrate VMware joining the Linux Foundation. I concur. It’s good news.

What it doesn’t resolve is the allegation that VMware is in active and conscious violation of the GPL. Some of these allegations appear to be well-founded. VMware’s lack of response to the allegations is not golden, especially in light of its embrace of the Linux Foundation.

Here’s the problem with how VMware apparently uses Linux (though there’s still an open question as to whether VMware does, in fact, use Linux, the evidence points pretty strongly to VMware’s use of the open-source operating system).

Products like VMware ESX Server and Citrix Xen Server divide each computer into one or more virtual machines. The virtual machines provide logical memory, CPU, and device resources to guest operating systems. ESX Server, like Citrix Xen Server, uses a hypervisor to mediate between the virtual machines and physical resources of the personal, and an embedded operating system (distinct from guest operating systems) to implement essential virtualization operations.

ESX Server and Citrix Xen Server both use Linux as the embedded operating system. This is where the trouble begins.

Microsoft, making the same mistake that Oracle made a few years ago with its low-end Oracle 10g Express Edition database, has decided that the ideal way to hold off open source nipping at its heels is to create a portfolio of low-end, cheap products.

It won’t work. Microsoft provides …
