Google Docs gets footnotes – Jippi!!!

Just choose Insert – Footnote. The footnotes reside on the right side of the document and is collapsable. When you print, or save as doc, odt or pdf, the footnotes are transformed to standard document footnotes. This is superduper terrific!!!

Worms in the Apple Garden

I like os x, I like ipods, I like itunes, but I’m not particularly fond of Apple’s business model. A wiki owner called Sam Odio started a diskussion about how to create a sync alternativ for Ipod/Iphone. I didn’t take Apple long to catch up and send their lawyers to stop the discussion.

I like os x, I like ipods, I like itunes, but I’m not particularly fond of Apple’s business model. A wiki owner called Sam Odio started a diskussion about how to create a sync alternativ for Ipod/Iphone. I didn’t take Apple long to catch up and send their lawyers to stop the discussion. This is why I’m a huge fan of the idea behind web 2.0, a mindset directly opposite to this kind of behavior. Trying to circumvent free speech with a law suit threat is a postmodern version of old school mafia methods – which of course are live and kicking as much as before. If you are an Apple worshiper, please think of this:

  • Apple – wants to get on top of Microsoft and Google and rule the world
  • Microsoft – wants to get on top of Apple and Google and rule the world
  • Google – wants to get on top of Microsoft and Apple and rule the world
  • Ubuntu – ? well, probably has a similar wish

If someone asked me to choose one of these competitors as the next king in the digital sphere, I couldn’t possibly choose one. The icing of the digital cake is the diversity of these companies respective business models. But if I was forced to choose between these business models, Apple would come pretty close to the end of my list.

Sometimes I meet persons with an almost religious relationship to Apple or Linux (Never happend with Microsoft, and hardly Google). I don’t like the vibes in that kind of fundamentalism. I don’t like it at all.
