Linus Torvalds has tagged a commit as Linux 3.0-rc1.
That marks the end of the 2.6.x kernel series.
The final version: http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/03/29/mozilla-launches-firefox-4-for-android-allowing-users-to-take-the-power-and-customization-of-firefox-everywhere-2/
I've had Firefox installed on my Nexus One since the first beta. It's come a long way since then.
In the apparently never-ending SCO saga, the judge has dealt SCO another blow that hopefully puts this zombie to rest once and for all. They don't get a new trial, and Novell can shut down their lawsuit against IBM.
Ars Technica has the details in their article aptly titled "SCOwned"
My favorite piece of the ruling:
Finally, while SCO?s witnesses testified that the copyrights were ?required? for SCO to run its SCOsource licensing program, this was not something that SCO ever acquired from Novell.
In their lawsuit against Novell, the jury ruled that Novell and not SCO owns the Unix copyrights. The verdict, from Groklaw.

Now, hopefully SCO can finally roll over and die for good. This ridiculous crap has been going on for way too long.
I called Barnes & Noble digital support today to get the source for the GPL-ed parts of the B&N nook eBook reader.
They used to send out CDs from what I have read, but it turns out that they recently put the sources up on their website, at http://nook.com/legal (redirects to http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/legal/).
The B&N support people had a hard time finding this out, but they called me back and provided me with the link.
