Quote to Note: Puppy Kicking Technocrats, Cease and Desist
April 11, 2011
This is a quote to note and a short honk. First, point your browser bloat machine at “Microsoft Has Lost the War to Linux.” Next, note the quite slick phrasing; for example, “somewhat strange interview”, “Linux based Android”, and “from the Vole” (borrowed from a somewhat more crisp blog by the way). Finally, consider this passage:
He said that he didn’t care about Microsoft these days. It used to be Linux’s big rival, but now it’s kind of like kicking a puppy.
“Kicking a puppy”. Slam dunk. The only problem is the persistence of such non entities as IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle. But the “kicking a puppy” is T shirt material. Now we just need a better name for Solr. Maybe “puppykicker”?
