Greeting Readers,

There has been considerable discussion lately on the impact and meaning
of open source and its role in computing:
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/is_open_source_1.html
Mark Rosenthal gives us some insights on how some design engineers from
Digital Equipment Corporation helped bring the movement into existence
with "How an Accident of Hardware Design Encouraged Open Source."
Check it out here:

If you want to watch HD TV on a remote computer, Erica Sadun explains
how in her article "Stream Live HDTV from Your Mac." So you probably
know you can sit in front of your Mac and watch TV, but what if you want
to watch in your living room or bedroom simultaneously? See how to
build a remote video streaming solution.

You can read and comment on the article here:

Blogs

On the blog front, M. David Peterson owns the top spot with "Hi, I'm an
IPod," "and I'm a Zune," and as you can imagine, the partisan diehards
came out to comment on the posting:

There is a very popular series of blogs by Micah Walter on "Aperture vs.
Lightroom: Day X" that is yielding lots of comments and attention.
Micah's series has 6 of the top 10 blogs at the moment. You can find
them easily by going to his blog page, found here:

Podcasts

Whether you use or like Microsoft software or not, Dan Steinberg brings us
"Web 2.0 Podcast: A Conversation with Ray Ozzie," in which the

memo, Vista, and a host of other subjects. Check it out at:

Stats

I recently did some analysis on book sales for 2005 and 2006 so I could
see which languages where growing and which were shrinking. The results
mirror our data on what people are searching for. For just the month of
January 2005 and 2006, these languages showed the following growth rate
percentage over the prior year: Ruby, 6.22%; Javascript, 8.63%; and SQL,
1.85%. The rest of the languages were down: Java, -5.87%; C#, -0.89%; C++,
-2.58%; Perl, -2.70%; PHP, -0.64%; Python, -0.58%; VB, -1.43%; and .net
Languages, -1.99%. From a book sales perspective, Ruby, Javascript, and
SQL were the biggest gainers, and the others all had slight to significant
decreases.

So if there is something you would like to see in this newsletter,
whether it is analysis, articles, or blogs, or if you would like to see
new features on the O'Reilly Network, please send your ideas to
ideas@oreillynet.com.

Thanks for reading.
