http://live.pirillo.com - You are an absolute fool to believe that the future of software is anything but open. Are we there now? Obviously not... but in good time, proprietary software will become a thing of the past.

  • btw may i know what is an open source software?give such example,,

  • I didn't feel like I would like this guy until I saw this.

  • GOD, I hate this guy.

  • fucking 20 second ads with continous pop ups and breaks just for ads

  • you cant go completely open source

    in the end people want to get paid for their hard work, and there is no, or very little money in open source, people wouldnt become educated in the field and development of software as a whole would just die out. we dont want that now do we?

    most open source projects are done by students, or by developers on their own spare time, and that is how it will always be. 100% open source would strangle itself out of existance

  • usually when proprietary software companies go out of business, (at least the smart ones) tend to open up the software just like when Netscape fell and Mozilla Firefox was built

    also safari is not open, Webkit is but its just like Google Chrome

    Webkit and Chromium are the same thing, projects picked up by companies (i.e. Apple and Google) to be made better. Then they build there own proprietary project off of it (i.e. Google Chrome and Apple Safari)

  • open office is week:/

  • open vs closed , compare it with science and alchemy. Science may take a few hundred years to figure out how the world works, but it does actually get there, exactly because people can build on each others knowledge, and it evolves over time. In contrast, alchemy may be about smart people, but the knowledge body never “accumulates” anywhere. It might be passed down to an apprentice, it basically means that it can never really become any better than what a single person/company can understand
