As the InfoWorld Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco gets underway this week, the tech publication is posting a series of interesting transcripts from roundtable discussions on open source topics. The roundtables include a number of well-known pundits, including CNet writer Matt Asay, Bruce Perens (credited by many as coining the term open source), Sam Ramji (senior director of platform technology at Microsoft), Zack Urlocker (vice president of products at MySQL) and many others.

Thatﾒs sad. And I think a moderate infusion of cash can definitely help alleviate those problems.

Tempest in a Teapot: Apple's "Programming Secrets"

In case you haven't noticed, a blog post from a few days ago by developer Vladimir Vukicevic, who is working on performance enhancements for the Firefox 3 browser, has been making major waves for allegedly pointing to programming and API secrets that enable Apple's own applications to run more efficiently with its operating system than other applications can. InfoWorld and other tech publications have made a big deal of the post, and the hubbub made it to Slashdot. The whole thing looks like a tempest in a teapot to me.
